VI. GENERAL EDUCATION ELECTIVES (2-3 credit hours) -<br />
You must complete the following requirement:<br />
CGS 1100C - Introduction to Microcomputers using Windows<br />
If you are exempt from CGS 1100C, consult with a counselor/<br />
advisor in completing your 36 hours of General Education<br />
requirements.<br />
VII. ELECTIVES (21-24 credit hours) - You should consult<br />
with SFCC’s counseling/advising staff or a campus/center<br />
director to select the proper courses to meet this section<br />
of the A.A. degree requirements.<br />
Elective courses assist you in specializing in an academic<br />
major field of study. You must take a minimum of 21 credit<br />
hours of electives. Elective courses should be selected on<br />
the basis of your intended major. If you are uncertain about<br />
your major area of study, you should consult a counselor<br />
or advisor before choosing elective courses.<br />
<strong>College</strong> Developmental<br />
Course Rule<br />
Your required placement test scores may require that you<br />
enroll in a developmental mathematics, writing, or reading<br />
course. It is important for your college success that you<br />
demonstrate sufficient mathematics, writing, and reading<br />
proficiencies. When you enroll for SFCC courses, your<br />
proficiencies in these areas will be assessed. If your scores<br />
on a college placement test are below “college level” for<br />
mathematics and/or communication, you must pursue one<br />
of the four alternatives to college developmental instruction:<br />
1. <strong>College</strong> developmental courses,<br />
2. Proprietary college developmental courses,<br />
3. Special Web-based instruction available at the TLC, or<br />
4. The Adult Basic Education Program.<br />
You must enroll in a college developmental course, if your<br />
college placement test scores are below the cut scores<br />
but are at or above the 9.0 grade equivalent score on the<br />
college placement test (see <strong>College</strong> Entrance Testing and<br />
Placement Procedures Chart - Letter A). If you have college<br />
placement test scores that are below both the cut scores and<br />
the 9.0 grade equivalent score, you are required to take the<br />
respective parts of the Tests of Adult Basic Education (TABE).<br />
Your TABE scores will then determine proper placement in<br />
college developmental instruction (see <strong>College</strong> Entrance<br />
Testing and Placement Procedures Chart - Letter B)<br />
1. If you score 9.0 to <strong>12</strong>.9 grade equivalent on the TABE<br />
(Form 9 or 10 level A only), you may remediate at<br />
the TLC and re-test or you must enroll in college<br />
developmental courses or a proprietary program.<br />
2. If you score 7.9 grade equivalent and below, you may<br />
be enrolled in the Academic Adult Basic Education<br />
Program until you have reached the required skills<br />
levels.<br />
You may attempt a college developmental course three (3)<br />
times at SFCC. An attempt is defined as “remaining enrolled<br />
past the end of the Drop with Refund Period” (see Academic<br />
Calendar). If you do not successfully pass your third attempt,<br />
you will not be permitted to continue in college developmental<br />
and enroll in any college credit courses simultaneously. You will<br />
be given an opportunity to participate in an alternative program<br />
designed to work with you on an individual basis to prepare<br />
you to re-enter the regular college-level curriculum, or you may<br />
petition to enroll in a fourth attempt in college developmental. If<br />
you have not successfully completed a college developmental<br />
course after the second attempt and desire to continue your<br />
efforts toward the A.A., A.S., or A.A.S. degree, you will be<br />
required to pay the full cost of instruction, which is equal to<br />
the non-resident course fees. An exception to the fee may<br />
be granted under extenuating circumstances. You may not<br />
withdraw from a third attempt of a developmental course.<br />
