At the completion of each term or enrollment periodafter the first seven (7) credit hours, including a measure ofprogress made in the first seven hours, your progress towardan education goal is measured in two ways: successfulcompletion ratio and grade point average (GPA).1. You must meet the academic performance requirementof at least 2.0 annual and cumulative GPA. Thestandard of academic progress is reviewed at theend of each term.46

5HWXUQWR6HFWLRQ0HQX2. You must make progress toward your degree or certificate.Minimum progress toward a degree requiressuccessful completion of 67 percent of courses attempted,cumulatively, and annually for renewal eligibility.3. You must complete your educational program withina given time frame. The maximum time frame is 150percent of the credits required for the educationalobjectives. A degree requiring 60 credits hours hasa limit of 90 credit hours of attempted collegecoursework. This includes all college coursework;all transfer credits whether or not financial aid wasreceived, and whether courses are applicable towardyour degree program.4. If you have reached the maximum attempted hoursof 90 credits in an academic program or reach 150percent of the published length of the educationalprogram (clock-hour), you will have exhausted allavailable financial aid at SFCC.If you qualify for financial aid and enroll at or above the postsecondarylevel for the first time at South Florida CommunityCollege, you will be eligible to receive financial aid. Ifyou are a first-time SFCC student with course history thatdoes not meet the satisfactory progress standard, you maybe placed in a financial aid probation status based on thetransfer or dual enrollment grades.A term is defined as any of the major terms: Fall, Spring,and Summer. First and Second Summer Flex Sessionsare treated as one term for financial aid purposes. An enrollmentperiod is defined as the term or portion of a termfor which you enroll.Successful completion is defined as any course completedwith a final grade of “A,” “B,” “C,” “D,” or “S.” Courses forwhich you receive grades of “W,” “I,” “F,” “N,” “U,” or “X,” aswell as the previous attempt(s) of repeated courses regardlessof previous grade, are counted as courses attemptedbut not successfully completed.Failure to meet the minimum standard of progresswill result in the following action(s):Financial Aid Probation - This occurs at the end ofthe term or enrollment period for which you fail tomeet the required measurements as outlinedabove. In probation status, you retain your eligibilityfor financial aid as long as you are permitted toenroll. Probation status is not subject to appeals/petitions and is not accepted/reviewed for this status.Financial Aid Continued Probation - This occursafter you attend one term or enrollment period in aprobation status and successfully complete 100percent of all courses attempted in that term, achieveor maintain the minimum grade point average of2.0 but do not reach the 67 percent cumulativesuccessful completion ratio. In continued probationstatus you may continue to receive financial aidand will remain in the continued probation status.Financial Aid Suspension - This occurs at the endof the next term or enrollment period for which youhave failed to maintain either one or both of themeasurements outlined above with the exceptionof the continued probation status. In suspensionstatus, all eligibility of financial aid administered bythe FAO will be terminated until you meet the minimumstandard of academic progress for receipt offinancial aid.Maximum Time Frame - When you reach the maximumof 90 credits attempted in academic programsor reach 150 percent of the normal number of hoursrequired to complete clock-hour programs, you willhave exhausted your financial aid eligibility and willno longer be eligible to receive financial aid. If youchange your major, allowances may be made on acase-by-case basis.Regaining Eligibility Through Appeal Process - If you believeextenuating circumstances prevented you from meetingthe required standards as outlined above, you may appealto the Financial Aid Appeal Committee by completingthe Financial Aid Appeal Form. This form can be picked upat the Financial Aid Office or downloaded viawww.south.florida.edu.If you desire to file an appeal to be reviewed for the currentterm, you should come prepared to pay all tuitionand fees awaiting the decision of the committee. If thedecision is favorable, your financial aid will be reinstatedand you will be required to sign a financial aid agreementand meet all contingencies therein. All appeals must havethe following as applicable to your circumstances:• Letter written by you describing mitigating circumstancesthat prevented you from achieving satisfactoryprogress. Explain what changes have occurredthat will enable you to meet the academic progressrequirements in your term of enrollment.• Proof that the mitigating circumstances you describeactually occurred (such as police report, death certificate,etc.). If appeal is based on medical circumstances,the followings must be included: Lettersfrom physician, copies of medical bills, etc.• For maximum time frame you must explain why youhave not met graduation requirements or your goalsat SFCC. Describe what actions you have taken tomake sure you graduate in the near future.The committee reviews the appeals and determineswhether there are sufficient reasons to allow your financialaid to be reinstated. You will be notified in writing of thecommittee’s decision. If your eligibility to receive financial47

5HWXUQWR6HFWLRQ0HQXaid for an additional term is granted, you must sign a financialaid agreement and meet all contingencies therein bythe end of the term or be placed back on suspension.Other Important Satisfactory Progress Information:1. The Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy isapplied to all terms that you are enrolled at SFCCwhether or not you receive financial aid.2. You may change programs during your enrollmentat SFCC, but you may no longer be eligible forfinancial aid once a total of 90 credits is earned,including transfer credits. This is based on a maximumtime frame of three years (six terms) for afull-time student to complete a two-year degree.Financial aid eligibility is also terminated after youhave earned two degrees or a degree and a certificateeven if you earned less than 90 credits. Fora vocational certificate program, this means thatfinancial aid eligibility will be terminated when youreach 150 percent of the normal amount of time(as measured in full-time equivalent enrollments)required for completion of the program.3. Incomplete Grades. A grade of “I” will not affectyour grade point average in determining financialaid eligibility. The “I” grade will revert to an “F” gradeif not removed by the last class day in the next 16-week term. Such a grade may contribute to suspensionof financial aid eligibility. A grade of “I” willaffect your progression within a time frame towardsadequate completion of all college courseworkand the maximum time frame in which you mustcomplete your educational objective in determiningfinancial aid eligibility.4. Repeated Courses. You may use financial aid torepeat a course in which an “N,” “D,” or “F” hasbeen earned. You may not repeat a course for creditin which a grade of “C” or better was earned (unlesspermission of the Dean of Students Servicesis obtained). You may improve a grade in a courseand the repeat credit(s) will be included in the totalnumber of credits when determining enrollmentstatus. You must be making satisfactory progress.Any further appeal of the decision of the Financial Aid AppealsCommittee must be made in writing to the Dean ofStudent Services.Exceptions to the Appeals Process - The FinancialAid Director or designee can waive the appeal processin certain limited situations as follows:1. If you reach the 90 credit hour limit, but have lessthan one academic year to complete your current(final) program of study, you may continue to receivefinancial aid at the discretion of the FinancialAid Director or designee provided you meet all otherstandards of progress measurements. The Directorof Financial Aid or designee may also referyou to the Financial Aid Appeals Committee.2. If you are accepted into any “limited access” programs,such as Nursing or Dental Hygiene, youmay continue to receive financial aid beyond the90 credit hour limit, provided you meet all otherstandards of progress measurements.Student Rights and Responsibilities - As a student andpotential recipient of financial aid at SFCC, it is importantthat you read and understand the following student’s rightsand responsibilities pertaining to financial aid.Student Rights - You have the right to ask a college:1.

Writtendocumentation is required before any of these changescan be made. Exception to the College refund policy ismade pursuant to the Federal rules and regulationsregarding as follows:Federal Title IV Policy on Withdrawals and Return ofFinancial Aid - As part of the Higher Education Amendmentof 1998, Congress passed provisions governingwhat must happen to your federal financial aid if youcompletely withdraw from school in any term. Thischange of policy went into effect at SFCC beginningwith Fall 2000 term. The policy governs all federal grantand loan programs, including the Federal Pell Grant,Federal SEOG and Federal Stafford Loans. It does notaffect the Federal Work Study.This law assumes that you earn federal financial aidawards in direct proportion to the number of days ofthe term attended. If you receive more aid than youearn, the unearned excess funds must be returned tothe Department of Education. However, if you receiveless aid than the amount earned, you may be able toreceive those additional funds. Note that unnegotiatedfederal award checks revert to the granting federal program180 days after they are issued regardless of eligibility.Return of Federal Financial Aid Calculation Method -Return of Title IV funds are calculated as follows: Theportion of federal grants and loans you are entitled toreceive is calculated on a percentage basis by comparingthe total number of days in the term to the numberof days completed before withdrawal.3. The midpoint (50%) of the term if you withdrawwithout notifying the College.4. The last date of attendance at an academicallyrelated activity as documented by the College.Any award money you are required to return is designatedas a federal grant overpayment. Unearned federalaid (the amount that must be returned to the appropriateprograms) will be returned to the followingprograms in the following order as prescribed by federalrules and regulations:1. Federal Unsubsidized Loans2. Federal Subsidized Loans3. Federal Pell Grant4. Federal SEOGIf the return of unearned federal aid causes any portionof tuition and fees to become a liability to the College,the College will bill you the new balance due. You willlose Title IV eligibility unless you return the amount ofunearned aid (overpayment) in full to SFCC within 45days from the date SFCC notifies you of the overpayment.After the 45th day of an unpaid balance, you willbe referred to the Department of Education.Refund/Academic Appeals - Refunds requested foracademic appeals can only be granted for refunds notinvolving Title IV financial aid. Federal law currentlydoes not provide for an appeal of this repayment policy.For example, if 30 percent of the term is completed, 30percent of the scheduled aid is earned and 70 percentof the scheduled awards remain unearned and mustbe returned to the federal government. The total numberof calendar days in a term excludes any scheduledbreaks of more than five days. After the 61 percent pointof the term, you have earned all (100%) of the aid. Ifwithdrawal from the College occurs on or before completing61 percent of the term, you may have to repayany unearned federal money that was already disbursed.The law provides that if you must repay grantfunds, the amount of the repayment will be reduced by50 percent. A withdrawal date will be determined bythe College when one of these four occurrences:1. The instructor initiates the withdrawal process (formore information refer to Withdrawals in this CollegeCatalog).2. The date the student officially notified (verbally orin writing) the Registrar Office of intent to withdraw.50

5HWXUQWR6HFWLRQ0HQXFLORIDA’S STATEWIDE COURSENUMBERING SYSTEMCourses in this Catalog are identified by prefixes and numbers that were assigned by Florida’s Statewide Course NumberingSystem. This numbering system is used by all public postsecondary institutions in Florida and 33 participating non-publicinstitutions. The major purpose of this system is to facilitate the transfer of courses between participating institutions.Each participating institution controls the title, credit, and content of its own courses and recommends the first digit of thecourse number to indicate the level at which students normally take the course. Course prefixes and the last three digits of thecourse numbers are assigned by members of faculty discipline committees appointed for that purpose by the Florida Departmentof Education in Tallahassee. Individuals nominated to serve on these committees are selected to maintain a representativebalance as to type of institution and discipline field or specialization.The course prefix and each digit in the course number have a meaning in the Statewide Course Numbering System (SCNS).The list of course prefixes and numbers, along with their generic titles, is referred to as the “SCNS taxonomy.” Descriptions ofthe content of courses are referred to as “course equivalency profiles.”EXAMPLE OF COURSE IDENTIFIERPrefix Level Code Century Digit Decade Digit Unit Digit Lab Code(first digit) (second digit) (third digit) (fourth digit)SYG 2 0 0 0GeneralSociologySophomoreLevel at thisinstitutionEntry-LevelGeneralSociologySurvey Course SocialProblemsNolaboratorycomponentin thiscourseGENERAL RULE FOR COURSE EQUIVALENCIESEquivalent courses at different institutions are identified by the same prefixes and same last three digits of the course numberand are guaranteed to be transferable between participating institutions that offer the course, with a few exceptions. (Exceptionsare listed below.)For example, a survey course in social problems is offered by 35 different postsecondary institutions. Each institution uses“SYG_000” to identify its social problems course. The level code is the first digit and represents the year in which studentsnormally take the course at a specific institution. In the SCNS taxonomy, “SYG” means “Sociology, General,” the century digit “0”represents “Entry-level General Sociology,” the decade digit “0” represents “Survey Course,” and the unit digit “0” represents“Social Problems.”In science and other areas, a “C” or “L” after the course number is known as a lab indicator. The “C” represents a combinedlecture and laboratory course that meets in the same place at the same time. The “L” represents a laboratory course or thelaboratory part of a course, having the same prefix and course number without a lab indicator, which meets at a different timeor place.Transfer of any successfully completed course from one institution to another is guaranteed in cases where the course to betransferred is equivalent to one offered by the receiving institution. Equivalencies are established by the same prefix and lastthree digits and comparable faculty credentials at both institutions. For example, SYG 2000 is offered at a community college.The same course is offered at a state university as SYG 2010. A student who has successfully complete SYG 2000 at thecommunity college is guaranteed to receive transfer credit for SYG 2010 at the state university if the student transfers. Thestudent cannot be required to take SYG 2010 again since SYG 2000 is equivalent to SYG 2010. Transfer credit must beawarded for successfully completed equivalent courses and used by the receiving institution to determine satisfaction ofrequirements by transfer students on the same basis as credit awarded to the native students. It is the prerogative of thereceiving institution, however, to offer transfer credit for courses successfully completed which have not been designated asequivalent.142

5HWXUQWR6HFWLRQ0HQXTHE COURSE PREFIXThe course prefix is a three-letter designator for a major division of an academic discipline, subject matter area, or subcategoryof knowledge. The prefix is not intended to identify the department in which a course is offered. Rather, the content of a coursedetermines the assigned prefix to identify the course.AUTHORITY FOR ACCEPTANCE OF EQUIVALENT COURSESSection 1007.24(7), Florida Statutes, states: Any student who transfers among postsecondary institutions that are fully accreditedby a regional or national accrediting agency recognized by the United States Department of Education and that participatein the statewide course numbering system shall be awarded credit by the receiving institution for courses satisfactorilycompleted by the student at the previous institutions. Credit shall be awarded if the courses are judged by the appropriatestatewide course numbering system faculty committees representing school districts, public postsecondary educationalinstitutions, and participating nonpublic postsecondary educational institutions to be academically equivalent to coursesoffered at the receiving institution, including equivalency of faculty credentials, regardless of the public or nonpublic control ofthe previous institution. The Department of Education shall ensure that credits to be accepted by a receiving institution aregenerated in courses for which the faculty possess credentials that are comparable to those required by the accreditingassociation of the receiving institution. The award of credit may be limited to courses that are entered in the statewide coursenumbering system. Credits awarded pursuant to this subsection shall satisfy institutional requirements on the same basis ascredits awarded to native students.EXCEPTIONS TO THE GENERAL RULE FOR EQUIVALENCYThe following courses are exceptions to the general rule for course equivalencies and may not transfer. Transferability is at thediscretion of the receiving institution:A. Courses in the 900-999 series (e.g., ART 2905)B. Internships, practical, clinical experiences, and study abroad coursesC. Performance or studio courses in Art, Dance, Theater, and MusicD. Skills courses in Criminal JusticeE. Graduate coursesF. Courses not offered by the receiving institutionG. For courses at non-regionally accredited institutions, courses offered prior to the transfer dateof the courseCollege preparatory and vocational preparatory courses may not be used to meet degree requirements and are not transferable.Questions about the Statewide Course Numbering System and appeals regarding course credit transfer decisions should bedirected to the Director of Institutional Research & Curriculum Development in Building I209 at (863) 784-7318 or the FloridaDepartment of Education, Office of Articulation, 1401 Turlington Building, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-0400. Special reportsand technical information may be requested by calling the Statewide Course Numbering System office at (850) 245-0427 orSuncom 205-0427.SFCC COURSE DESCRIPTIONS AND CROSS REFERENCESAll courses offered by SFCC are listed in alphabetical order according to their statewide three-letter prefix (ACC, AER, ETC,MAT). If you know the prefix, then go directly to the alpha listing. Remember that several courses may have the same prefix, andyou will need to look for the course number and title. If you are unsure of the prefix or have only the name of the course, you willwant to use the cross-reference section.The section marked Areas of Study to Course Prefixes is a listing of programs and, in some cases, course titles; following eachtitle are all of the prefixes associated with that area of study.Remember that not all courses are offered in all terms or at all locations. For current offerings, consult the “Schedule ofClasses” published each term prior to the registration period on campuses.143
