Statement of Philosophy
The philosophy of Santa Fe College is student-centered.
Consistent with this philosophy, we value cultural diversity and
serve all persons regardless of race, color, creed, national origin,
religion, gender, marital status, age or disability. The college
believes that preparing students for healthy, productive lives
in a democratic society is the chief obligation of the public
educational system. Therefore, we seek to enable changes in
individuals that allow them to live richer, more rewarding, and
more useful lives.
We further believe that educated people should be guided in
their behavior by decency and civility; accordingly, we prize hon-
esty, integrity, and social responsibility among both our staff and
students. The college aspires to transmit these values as well as
foster in students the critical thinking and problem-solving skills,
global perspective, and creativity necessary to make educated
and ethical decisions in all aspects of their lives.

Statement of Vision, Values and Mission
Mission/Vision
In keeping with our values and goals, Santa Fe College, a
comprehensive public institution of higher education serving
North Central Florida and beyond, adds value to the lives of
our students and enriches our community through excellence
in teaching and learning, innovative educational programs and
student services, and community leadership and service.
Values
Santa Fe College is a dynamic, innovative learning
community committed to:
• Academic excellence, academic freedom, and
intellectual pursuit
• Individual and social responsibility
• Honesty, integrity, and civility
• Collaboration with our community
• Open access
• Lifelong learning
• Assessment, accountability, and improvement
• Sustainable use of environmental, social, and
economic resources
COLLEGE hiSTOry
Santa Fe College was established by the state government in
1965 to offer wide access to quality higher education.
Since then, SF has established programs and services that
enable the college to carry out its mission of educational op-
portunity, responsiveness to the community, economic develop-
ment and innovation in the public interest. The philosophy of the
college during those years has been, and continues to be, one
of student centeredness.
Enrollment has grown rapidly. Fewer than 1,000 students
enrolled when classes were first offered in September 1966.
Today, more than 17,000 students take credit classes and
12,000 more take non-credit classes. Credit classes are given
at the Northwest Campus, Andrews Center in Starke, Blount
Center in downtown Gainesville, Davis Center in Archer, Perry
Center for Emerging Technologies in Alachua, and Watson Center
in Keystone Heights.
The college has expanded education programs by increasing
the number of classes offered by electronic means such as the
Internet and live broadcasts to the SF centers. More than 3,000
students take Internet classes through the Open Campus.
 SANTA FE COLLEGE
12 Formerly named Santa Fe Community College, Santa Fe
College was authorized by the state of Florida in 2009 to offer
baccalaureate degrees that meet demand for specific skills
needed in the economy. At that time the college changed its
name.
SF has had only four presidents. Dr. Joseph W. Fordyce was
president from 1965 to 1971, when he was succeeded by Alan
J. Robertson. Dr. Larry W. Tyree was named president in 1990
and was succeeded on Jan. 1, 2002 by Dr. Jackson N. Sasser.
COLLEGE ACADEmiCS
The college’s educational offerings are primarily the Associate
of Arts (A.A.), Associate of Science (A.S.), Associate of Applied
Science (A.A.S.), and Continuing and Community Education
programs.
The Associate of Arts program consists generally of liberal
arts courses. Many students in this program intend to transfer to
four-year colleges or universities. SF sends more students to the
university of Florida than does any other institution. Many former
SF students go to other four-year schools, public and private, in
and out of state.
Santa Fe now offers Bachelor of Applied Science (B.A.S.)
degree programs in Clinical Laboratory Science and Health
Services Administration. In 2010-2011, the college will offer a
B.A.S. degree in Early Childhood Education. Additional B.A.S.
degrees will follow in the future, as specific needs are identified.
Career and Technical Education consists generally of A.S.,
A.A.S. and certificate programs that prepare students for suc-
cessful entry into a career, although some programs are trans-
ferable to universities. Surveys show that more than 90 percent
of students in these programs either enter a career or proceed
to further higher education.
Continuing Education programs assist professionals looking
to advance or change their careers with recertification, addi-
tional training or special course work.
Community Education offers non-credit leisure courses for
personal growth. More than 9,000 area residents participate in
Community Education courses each year.
Academic life is highlighted by the Honors Program, Phi
Theta Kappa, SF-uF Foreign Languages Institute, Research in
undergraduate Education Festival, a speech and debate team,
a Brain Bowl, and several international Study Abroad programs.
COLLEGE CAmPUS CEnTErS
Santa Fe offers a variety of educational options through its
seven different campus sites conveniently located throughout
Alachua and Bradford counties.
Andrews Center
Santa Fe’s Andrews Center in Starke provides the citizens of
Bradford and nearby counties an opportunity to gain a college
education close to home. Classrooms are housed in the historic
Starke courthouse and two additional educational buildings. The
center provides a dual enrollment program for Bradford County
High School students to earn college credit while still in high
school, allowing them to jump-start their college education.
The Andrews Center also houses continuing and community
education classes, the Eugene L. Matthews Historical Museum,
and a performance venue that provides enhanced educational
and cultural opportunities for all citizens of Bradford and nearby
counties. The center is an integral part of Starke’s downtown
redevelopment and restoration.
Blount Center

point deficit is still 20 or more, the student will be dismissed
from the college. Such a student is not eligible to be readmitted
to the college for a minimum of one full calendar year. After
that time has passed, the student may petition the college for
possible readmission. Favorable action is dependent upon clear
written evidence of factors that indicate promise of successful

Exception to above rule: A student who earns a semester GPA
of 2.5 or higher in the first semester after returning from suspen-
sion or dismissal will not be suspended, even if that student’s
overall deficit is more than 20 grade points. Should the student
continue to earn a GPA of 2.5 or higher each term, the student
will remain enrolled on academic probation until good academic
standing is achieved.

Transferring to Santa Fe With Deficit Grade Points

All transfer students will be evaluated by Santa Fe’s Standards
of Progress using the same criteria applied to non-transfer stu-
dents. Transfer students entering with deficit grade points will be
assigned to the appropriate category, that is, academic warning
or probation. They will return to good standing when sufficient
grade points have been earned to achieve a C average.
Withdrawals
Students who wish to withdraw from a course and receive
a W may do so via eSantaFe (Web) or in the Office of Records
(Building R, room 112) up until the official withdrawal date each
term/session. The withdrawal date for each term/session is
available in the online calendar and via eSantaFe.
A student may have only three attempts per course includ-
ing original grade, repeat grades and withdrawals. An attempt
is defined as an enrollment in a course where any grade is
assigned or the student withdraws and receives a W. Courses
that are dropped prior to the drop with a refund date will not be
counted as an attempt.
The student will be permitted a maximum of two withdrawals
per course. upon the third attempt, the student will not be per-
mitted to withdraw and will receive a grade for that course.
Florida Administrative Code (6A-14.0301) requires that on
a third attempt, a student must pay the full cost of instruc-
tion, which is equal to the non-Florida resident cost of tuition.
Occasionally, a petition for fee reduction may be granted by the
college registrar for documented cases of extreme hardship. A
petition for waiver of the full fees must be requested before the
end of drop/add for the term or session in which the course is
attempted for the third time. No waivers are granted retroactively.

institution and transfer credits back to Santa Fe College must
obtain permission from SF before enrolling at the other institu-
tion. Students should fill out a transient form, seek advisement
about courses they wish to take, and have their status at SF
certified in the Office of Records before enrolling at another
institution. Transient forms are available online at www.facts.org.

Academic Foundations Department
In support of academic achievement, Santa Fe provides
learning labs that offer individualized academic support in
mathematics, reading and writing. This service is offered to
students at all levels. Students may be referred to the labs
by instructors or may seek additional help independently. Lab
instruction is offered on a one-to-one basis or in small group
sessions and is free of charge to SF students.
The ESL (EAP) program provides instruction in the spoken
and written language for non-native English students. Students
participate in small-group instruction and individual practice
to develop the English language skills needed to succeed in
academic and vocational classes. Listening, speaking, reading,
writing and cultural adaptation are emphasized.
The learning labs provide pre-CLAST testing and review of
all CLAST skills for students preparing to take CLAST for the first
time and those remediating after failure of any subtest. Students
are required to complete remediation in the CLAST Lab prior to
retesting. A fee is charged for CLAST retakes.
The Learning Labs are located at:
ESL (EAP) Lab I-001
Mathematics Lab G-014
Reading Lab G-036
Writing Lab G-005
Degree-seeking students whose college entry placement
scores are below the state and institutional college level place-
ment scores shall enroll in the appropriate College Preparatory
courses prior to enrolling in college level courses.
The College Preparatory courses are:
ENC0001 College Prep Writing 1
ENC0020 College Prep Writing 2
REA0001 College Prep Reading 1
REA0002 College Prep Reading 2
MAT0002 Prep Pre-Algebra
MAT0020 Integrated Arithmetic & Algebra
MAT0024 Elementary Algebra
Students who fail to earn a grade of C or better are required
to re-register for the failed course the following semester.
Students who complete REA0002 are required to register
for REA2205 the following semester. Students are strongly
recommended to enroll in College Composition (ENC1101)
immediately after they complete College Preparatory reading
and writing courses. Additionally, students are recommended to
enroll in MAT1033 after they complete MAT0024 or MAT0020.
Rule 6A-10.0315(14)
Florida Administrative Code states that students enrolled in
College Preparatory courses may be permitted to take courses
concurrently in other curriculum areas for which they are
qualified. Students who test into College Prep instruction must
successfully complete the required College Preparatory studies
by the time they have accumulated 12 hours of college credit
2010-2011 CATALOG
course work or they must maintain continuous enrollment in 27
College Preparatory course work each semester until the re-
quirements are completed while performing satisfactorily in the
degree earning course work.
College Preparatory students may not enroll in college credit
courses that require skills that are beyond the skill level of the
student. Restricted college level courses are flagged in the
course schedule. Since students must maintain continuous en-
rollment in required College Preparatory course work to maintain
eligibility for enrollment in college level courses, students may
not drop a College Preparatory course and remain registered in
a college level course.
The College Prep advisors located in Building G, room 41 are
available to advise all College Prep and ESL (EAP) students.
Students shall not enroll for more than three attempts in
each College Preparatory course. Withdrawal from a College
Preparatory course after the last day to drop and receive a
refund counts as an attempt. Since the state will fund only two
College Preparatory attempts, students will pay the full tuition
cost for the third attempt, which is equivalent to out-of-state
tuition. Exemptions may be granted for extenuating circum-
stances. Petitions may be submitted at the College Prep office,
Building G, room 21.
Grades earned in College Prep courses will not count toward
graduation. These grades will be included in the students’ GPAs
and will be included in the calculation of deficit points for the
purpose of academic progress.
English as a Second Language (ESL)
English for Academic Purposes (EAP)
Non-native speakers of English who place into College
Preparatory reading and English are required to register for the
ESL (EAP) College Preparatory courses. The courses in this pro-
gram integrate reading, writing, listening and speaking activities
to prepare non-native speakers of English for college level work.
The ESL (EAP) program consists of the following courses:
EAP0200C ESL Communications for College 1
EAP0220C ESL Basic Reading
EAP0240C ESL Basic Writing
EAP0300C ESL Communications for College 2
EAP0320C ESL Intermediate Reading
EAP0340C ESL Intermediate Writing
EAP0400C Communications for College 3
EAP0420C College Preparatory ESL Reading
EAP0440C College Preparatory ESL Writing
Grades earned in ESL (EAP) courses will not count toward
graduation. These grades will be included in the students’ GPAs
and will be included in the calculation of deficit points for the
purpose of academic progress.
Students enrolled in College Preparatory ESL (EAP)
courses follow the same registration procedures as all College
Preparatory students. Students shall not enroll for more than
three attempts in any Prep ESL (EAP) course. Withdrawal from
one of these courses after the last day to withdraw and receive a
refund counts as an attempt.

COOPErATivE EDUCATiOn
Courses offered by this program allow students to apply
knowledge obtained in the classroom in a variety of actual work
settings. Students are able to gain valuable work experience
and skills not obtainable in the classroom. Registration for
Cooperative Education classes is by Cooperative Education
Department permission only (Building S, room 254).
Each Cooperative Education placement involves the student
in the work site search, which often resembles a competitive job
search. The work site may provide experience to the student as
a paid job or as volunteer work experience, depending upon the
employer’s current staffing needs and financial resources. Once
a site is established, the student will work a minimum of 10-20
hours per week and will receive financial compensation (if a
paid site has been developed) and one to three semester hours
of credit for each co-op work assignment. The student working
10-14 hours per week will receive one semester hour of credit.
The student working 15-19 hours per week will receive two
semester hours of credit. The student working 20-35 hours per
week will receive three semester hours of credit. A total of up to
nine hours per year may be earned.
Supervisors at the students’ work sites evaluate students’
performance during their Cooperative Education experience.
The Cooperative Education coordinator utilizes experiential-type
reports and other assignments submitted by the student at the
end of each term, combined with the performance evaluation
submitted by the site supervisor, to determine an appropriate
grade. Cooperative Education course hours designated as oc-
cupational (O) are not transferable nor will those hours count
toward graduation requirements for the A.A. degree or impact
the student’s GPA.
DEGrEE PrOGrAmS
Santa Fe College grants four degrees: Associate of Arts (A.A.),
Associate of Applied Science (A.A.S.), Associate of Science
(A.S.), and Bachelor of Applied Science (B.A.S.).
Associate of Arts Degree
The Associate of Arts degree is awarded to those students
who successfully complete a program of study that is primarily
designed to prepare them for transfer to a senior institution.
Students wishing to transfer should obtain additional academic
advisement from the upper division school to which they expect
to apply.
All incoming A.A. degree seeking students are required
to begin progress in meeting their mathematics requirement
for graduation. This means that students must register for a
math course their first semester and continue to do so each
subsequent semester until they have satisfied the mathematics
requirement for their respective degrees.
Associate of Applied Science Degree
The Associate of Applied Science degree is awarded to
students who successfully complete one of the Business,
Health Sciences, Construction and Technical, Public Safety, or
Information Technology Education programs. These areas of
study are primarily designed to prepare students for immediate
employment.
Associate of Science Degree
The Associate of Science degree is awarded to students who
complete programs of instruction consisting of college level
courses to prepare for entry into employment and including 15-
18 hours of General Education courses transferable to the State
university System. Some senior institutions have established
programs to build on the Associate of Science degree. Students
wishing to transfer to such programs should check with the up-
per division school to which they expect to apply.
Bachelor of Applied Science
The Bachelor of Applied Science (B.A.S.) is the designated
degree for flexible baccalaureate programs that are designed
to accommodate the unique demands for entry and advance-
ment within specific workforce sectors. B.A.S. programs provide
degree completion opportunities for students from a variety of
educational backgrounds, but primarily those with Associate
of Science degrees or the equivalent. B.A.S. degree programs
conform to all articulation conventions (including common
course prerequisites, common course numbering, and faculty
credentialing) in accordance with the Southern Association of
Colleges and Schools. B.A.S. degree programs typically include
capstone experiences that provide opportunities for students to
demonstrate the application of acquired knowledge, skills, and
competencies.
Currently, SF offers B.A.S. degree programs in Clinical
Laboratory Science and Health Services Administration.
GrADUATiOn
Students who wish to graduate in a given semester are
expected to apply for graduation through eSanta Fe before the
semester deadline. Graduation deadlines are noted in the SF
calendar online. Graduating students are invited to attend the
graduation ceremonies, which are held in May and December.
Students who will be graduating in the summer semester may
attend either the spring or fall graduation, but names of summer
graduates are printed only in the December commencement
program.

CATALOG yEAr
Catalog year determines the set of academic requirements
that must be fulfilled for graduation. Students graduate under
the catalog in effect at the time of their initial enrollment at
Santa Fe provided they maintain continuous enrollment (reg-
istration for and completion of at least one course for one full
term in an academic year).
Students who do not maintain continuous enrollment will
be assigned the catalog in effect at the time they readmit or
resume enrollment. Students may choose to graduate under the
requirements of a later catalog, but they must fulfill all gradua-
tion requirements from that alternative catalog year.
A.A. degree students should consult with an academic
advisor.
The college will make every reasonable effort to honor the
curriculum requirements appropriate to each student’s catalog
year. However, courses and programs will sometimes be discon-
tinued and requirements may change as a result of curricular
review or actions by accrediting associations and other agencies.
ExPEriEnTiAL LEArninG
Santa Fe College recognizes and awards credit by experience
in some vocational/technical areas. Matriculated students are
required to send requests for experiential learning credit to the
appropriate academic program areas following completion of
the Previous Experience/Training Credit form. The academic
departments request the appropriate documentation from the
registrar to determine that another institution has not already
credited the student for experiential learning. Criteria for granting
the experiential credit are determined within each department.
Experiential credits based on work experience require a letter
from the student’s employer documenting time in position, job
title, duties, and employer contact information. Experiential cred-
it is usually granted only for internships. Credit granted through
this process is indicated on the student transcript. The college
keeps experiential learning forms on file in order to respond to
requests from other institutions.
2010-2011 CATALOG
FLOriDA’S STATEWiDE COUrSE 29
nUmBErinG SySTEm (SCnS)
Courses in this catalog are identified by prefixes and
numbers that were assigned by Florida’s Statewide Course
Numbering System (SCNS). This numbering system is used
by all public post-secondary institutions in Florida and 23
participating non-public institutions. The major purpose of this
system is to facilitate the transfer of courses between participat-
ing institutions. Students and administrators can use the online
Statewide Course Numbering System to obtain course descrip-
tions and specific information about course transfer between
participating Florida institutions. This information is at the SCNS
Web site at http://scns.fldoe.org.
Each participating institution controls the title, credit, and
content of its own courses and recommends the first digit of
the course number to indicate the level at which students nor-
mally take the course. Course prefixes and the last three digits
of the course numbers are assigned by members of faculty
discipline committees appointed for that purpose by the Florida
Department of Education in Tallahassee. Individuals nominated
to serve on these committees are selected to maintain a repre-
sentative balance 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. The list
of course prefixes and numbers, along with their generic titles, is
referred to as the SCNS taxonomy. Descriptions of the content of
courses are referred to as statewide course profiles.
General Rule for Course Equivalencies
Equivalent courses at different institutions are identified
by the same prefixes and same last three digits of the course
number and are guaranteed to be transferable between partici-
pating institutions that offer the course, with a few exceptions.
(Exceptions are listed below.)
For example, a freshman composition skills course is offered
by 55 different post-secondary institutions. Each institution uses
ENC_101 to identify its freshman composition skills course.
The level code is the first digit and represents the year in which
students normally take the course at a specific institution. In the
SCNS taxonomy, ENC means English Composition, the century
digit 1 represents Freshman Composition, the decade digit 0
represents Freshman Composition Skills, and the unit digit 1
represents Freshman Composition Skills I.
In the sciences and certain other areas, a C or L after the
course number is known as a lab indicator. The C represents a
combined lecture and laboratory course that meets in the same
place at the same time. The L represents a laboratory course
or the laboratory part of a course, having the same prefix and
course number without a lab indicator, which meets at a differ-
ent time or place.
Transfer of any successfully completed course from one
participating institution to another is guaranteed in cases where
the course to be transferred is equivalent to one offered by the
receiving institution. Equivalencies are established by the same
 SANTA FE COLLEGE
30 prefix and last three digits and comparable faculty credentials
at both institutions. For example, ENC 1101 is offered at a state
or community college. The same course is offered at a state uni-
versity as ENC 2101. A student who has successfully completed
ENC 1101 at the college is guaranteed to receive transfer credit
for ENC 2101 at the state university if the student transfers. The
student cannot be required to take ENC 2101 since ENC 1101
is equivalent to ENC 2101.
Transfer credit must be awarded for successfully completed
equivalent courses and used by the receiving institution to de-
termine satisfaction of requirements by transfer students on the
same basis as credit awarded to the native students. It is the
prerogative of the receiving institution, however, to offer transfer
credit for courses successfully completed that have not been
designated as equivalent.
The Course Prefix
The course prefix is a three-letter designator for a major
division of an academic discipline, subject matter area, or sub-
category of knowledge. The prefix is not intended to identify the
department in which a course is offered. Rather, the content of a
course determines the assigned prefix to identify the course.
Authority for Acceptance of Equivalent Courses
Section 1007.24(7), Florida Statutes, states: Any student
who transfers among postsecondary institutions that are fully
accredited by a regional or national accrediting agency recog-
nized by the united States Department of Education and that
participate in the statewide course numbering system shall be
awarded credit by the receiving institution for courses satisfacto-
rily completed by the student at the previous institutions. Credit
shall be awarded if the courses are judged by the appropriate
statewide course numbering system faculty committees repre-
senting school districts, public postsecondary educational insti-
tutions, and participating nonpublic postsecondary educational
institutions to be academically equivalent to courses offered
at the receiving institution, including equivalency of faculty
credentials, regardless of the public or nonpublic control of the
previous institution. The Department of Education shall ensure
that credits to be accepted by a receiving institution are gener-
ated in courses for which the faculty possess credentials that
are comparable to those required by the accrediting association
of the receiving institution. The award of credit may be limited
to courses that are entered in the statewide course numbering
system. Credits awarded pursuant to this subsection shall satisfy
institutional requirements on the same basis as credits awarded
to native students.
Exceptions to the General Rule for Equivalency
Since the initial implementation of the SCNS, specific disci-
plines or types of courses have been excepted from the guar-
antee of transfer for equivalent courses. These include varying
topics courses that must be evaluated individually, or applied
courses in which the student must be evaluated for mastery
of skill and technique. The following courses are exceptions to
the general rule for course equivalencies and may not transfer.
Transferability is at the discretion of the receiving institution.
A. Courses not offered by the receiving institution.
B. For courses at non-regionally accredited institutions,
courses offered prior to the established transfer date of the
course in question.
C. Courses in the _999-_999 series are not automatically
transferable, and must be evaluated individually. These
include such courses as Special Topics, Internships,
Practica, Study Abroad, Thesis and Dissertations.
D. College Preparatory and vocational preparatory courses.
E. Graduate courses.
F. Internships, practica, clinical experiences and study abroad
courses with numbers other than those ranging from
_999-_999.
G. Applied courses in the performing arts (Art, Dance, Interior
Design, Music, and Theatre) and skills courses in Criminal
Justice are not guaranteed as transferable.
Questions about the Statewide Course Numbering System
and appeals regarding course credit transfer decisions should
be directed to Martha Morton in the Office of Curriculum and
Scheduling, Robertson Administration Building, room 15, or to

Air Force ROTC
The Air Force Reserve Officer’s Training Corps (ROTC) was
established to select and prepare students to serve as officers
in the united States Air Force. The Air Force ROTC program
is divided into two phases: the first two years constitute the
General Military Course and the last two the Professional Officer
Course. Full-time Santa Fe College students are eligible to enroll
in the General Military Course taught at the university of Florida.
Transferring at a later date to one of the more than 140 colleges
and universities offering Air Force ROTC can lead, upon comple-
tion of that course, to a commission as a second lieutenant in
the united States Air Force.
The General Military Course examines the role of u.S. military
forces in the contemporary world with particular attention to
the united States Air Force, its organization and mission. The
functions of strategic offensive and defensive forces, general
purpose and aerospace support forces are covered. The de-
velopment of air power over the last 200 years is examined by
tracing the various concepts of employment of air power and by
focusing on factors which prompted research and technological
change. A variety of events and elements in the history of air
power are stressed, especially where these provide significant
examples of the impact of air power on strategic thought.
To learn more or to enroll in the General Military Course, con-
tact the Air Force ROTC Detachment at uF, (352) 392-1355.
Army ROTC
Santa Fe College offers the Army Reserve Officer’s Training
Corps (ROTC) Basic Course. Students incur no military obligation
by taking this course of instruction and are eligible to compete
for two- and three-year scholarships. These scholarships can
be used at any four-year institution that offers Army ROTC. The
scholarships pay all tuition, textbook, laboratory fees and other
purely educational expenses.
Students who successfully complete two years of college
and the basic course will be given a certificate of training allow-
ing them, upon transfer, to enroll in the Army ROTC Advanced
Course. This leads to a reserve or regular commission as a
second lieutenant in the Active Army, Army Reserve or National
Guard. Students who do not transfer to an upper division college
and who desire to enlist in the Army may be able to do so at a
higher pay level.

CREDIT BY ExAMINATION
Section 240.4015, Florida Statutes, requires the Articulation
Coordinating Committee (ACC) to establish passing scores and
course and credit equivalents for Advanced Placement (AP),
International Baccalaureate (IB), and College Level Examination
Program (CLEP) exams. Public colleges and universities in
Florida are required to award credit for AP, IB, CLEP, DANTES,
AICE, and Excelsior College exams as designated.
Credit awarded by exam may not duplicate other credit.
Institutions may not award credit for scores below those listed
by the ACC. SF students may satisfy up to 45 semester hours
of course credit through one or more of the mechanisms listed
below; however, a maximum of 30 hours may be awarded for the
IB diploma.
Score minimums, credit hours awarded, and course equiva-
lencies awarded are subject to change for any examination with-
out prior notice. Credit for all exams is awarded based on the
recommendation of the State of Florida Articulation Coordinating
Committee as listed on the chart found at www.fldoe.org/
articulation/. For more information please contact Selena Riess
in Building R, room 103.

www.collegeboard.com/student/testing/clep/about.html
The College Level Examination Program (CLEP) is a series of
examinations developed by the Educational Testing Service that
allows students to demonstrate competency in certain subjects
and earn college credit for those courses without attending
classes. The required levels of performance on the examinations
and the specific courses for which credit may be granted are
subject to change according to the decisions of a statewide
committee.
The CLEP examination may be taken at SF, the university
of Florida or any center authorized by the College Entrance
Examination Board. The student is responsible for having all
scores submitted to the SF Office of Records (Building R, room
112). The results are evaluated and recorded on the student’s
transcript if credit is earned. Transfer students must have all
transcripts on file from their previous institutions prior to having
CLEP credit awarded. There is no charge for posting credits.
Semester hours toward graduation are recorded as “credit by
examination” with no grades or quality points given. These cred-
its do not affect a student’s grade point average.
Credit for the general and subject examinations may be
earned in those areas where students have not already earned
academic credit. Credit for the examinations may be earned
as listed in the following table, provided the student has not
already earned credit for the particular course(s) for which
Santa Fe could give examination credit. Credit is not awarded
for a basic course in areas where advanced course credit has
been earned. No examination may be repeated in an attempt
to receive credit. Score minimums, credit hours awarded, and
course equivalencies awarded are subject to change for any
examination without prior notice.

34 Defense Activity of Non-Traditional
Education Support (DANTES)
The DANTES Subject Standardized Tests (DSSTs), unlike
Advanced Placement, are not built around curriculum. Rather,
they are designed to test students’ knowledge of a variety of col-
lege level subjects, regardless of where they may have learned
the material. Transfer of credit is based on the Articulation
Coordinating Committee’s recommended minimum scores and
maximum amount of credit guaranteed to transfer with no letter
grades or grade points assigned. Contact the Office of Records
(Building R, room 112) for more information.

Advanced International Certificate of

Education Program (AICE)
The AICE program is an international, advanced second-
ary curriculum and assessment program equivalent to the
British system of “A-Levels.” Transfer of credit is based on the
Articulation Coordinating Committee’s recommended minimum
scores and maximum amount of credit guaranteed to transfer
with no letter grades or grade points assigned. Contact the
Office of Records (Building R, room 112) for more information.

Excelsior College Examinations

Excelsior College Examinations (formerly known as the
Regents College Examinations or the Proficiency Examination
Program) are developed by Excelsior College using national
committees of faculty consultants and national studies to as-
sess how well the tests measure the performance of students
in actual college courses. Excelsior College Examinations are
approved by the American Council on Education, and Excelsior
College itself is accredited by the Middle States Association
of Colleges and Schools. Transfer of credit is based on the
Articulation Coordinating Committee’s recommended minimum
scores and maximum amount of credit guaranteed to transfer
with no letter grades or grade points assigned. Contact the
Office of Records (Building R, room 112) for more information.
Department Credit by Examination
Students wishing to earn course credit by passing a depart-
mental examination should consult the department in which
the course is taught. Students may not apply for course credit
through an SF Credit Examination if a CLEP examination is
available. Students should be aware that SF Credit Examinations
may not be offered for certain courses due to the nature of a
particular course’s content.
Students may not take an examination for credit in a course
if they have attempted the course at SF (receiving either an
A, B, C, D, F, I or W for work attempted) or if they have earned
credit for an advanced course in that area. Decisions about
the relevancy of particular advanced courses will be made by
instructors giving the examination. Credit by examination will not
be counted in student course loads, but will be averaged into
student grade point averages. Credit by examination will not be
available during the period between official college terms or on
official college holidays.
Procedure for SF Department Credit by Examination
1. Students complete a Credit by Examination application
available in the offices of academic chairpersons and
directors.
2. Completed applications are presented to department or
discipline chair or director. If the application is approved,
the chair or director will explain how the examination
will be administered according to current procedures.
Depending on the discipline or program area, either
individual examination dates for each student or a common
examination date for all students will be set each term.
3. Requests are presented to the appropriate chair or director
for approval (signature).
4. Approved forms are taken to the cashier’s window in the
Robertson Administration Building for payment of the $30
examination fee.
5. The application is returned by students to the discipline/
program area examiner indicated in step two above.
6. upon completion of the examination, the examiner will
forward the results (application) to the appropriate office
and will also telephone that office to verify the test grade.
The completed examination will be placed in the division’s
Credit by Examination file for the discipline or program
area.
7. Students must then return to the office where the
application was made, pick up a copy of the signed form
and take it to the Office of Records (Building R, room 112)
for final recording. Students must allow one week after
completion of the examination before picking up the copy
from the appropriate office.
8. Credit by Examination may be attempted a second time
after the lapse of one full academic term beyond the term
in which the first attempt was made. Students may not
attempt Credit by Examination more than twice in the same
course.
Tech Prep Acceleration Credit
Tech Prep credit is a mechanism of accelerated college credit
that may be employed during the high school years. Students
who have earned sufficiently high grades in Tech Prep classes
while in high school and who have passed an exam formulated
and administered by Santa Fe College may receive college credit
upon request after registering at SF. Santa Fe College will not ac-
cept Tech Prep credit that is earned at a high school with which
the college has no prior articulation agreement.

Mission
The Liberal Arts and Sciences further the college’s mission by
• providing a strong liberal arts education leading to the
Associate of Arts degree;
• preparing students with diverse backgrounds and goals for
careers, further academic study, and lifelong learning;
• creating intellectual independence by teaching creative
thinking, critical reasoning, and problem-solving skills;
• building an awareness of self, diverse opinions and cultures,
and one’s responsibility within the global community;
• promoting the attainment of a balanced core of knowledge
drawn from various discipline areas; and
• providing a personalized, supportive learning environment
that challenges students to achieve high levels of academic
performance.
Purpose
Liberal Arts and Sciences provides opportunities for
students to
• attain a broad-based education through courses in written
and oral communication, mathematics, natural sciences,
social sciences, history, humanities and creative arts;
• complete programs of study that will lead to the Associate of
Arts degree;
• complete their General Education courses, electives, and
prerequisites for the Associate of Science degree and
certificate programs;
• pursue university-parallel programs of study leading toward a
baccalaureate degree; and
• become lifelong learners.
Philosophy
Liberal Arts and Sciences believes all students deserve the
opportunity to strive for academic excellence in an environment
that both respects and supports diverse learners. The division
provides a multidisciplinary breadth of knowledge from the per-
spectives of a wide range of academic subjects. This foundation
prepares students for success in higher education, career and
personal goals.
ASSOCIATE OF ARTS (A.A.) DEGREE
The college offers the Associate of Arts degree to students
wishing to transfer to a four-year college upon graduation from
Santa Fe College.
In keeping with the articulation agreement between state
universities and public colleges in Florida, each institution grant-
ing the Associate of Arts degree sets its own General Education
requirements and stipulates the additional elective hours
required for the degree. By law, the articulation agreement pro-
vides that every Associate of Arts graduate of a Florida college
be granted admission to the upper division of a state university
except to a limited access or teacher certification program or
a major program requiring an audition. Students earning the
Associate of Arts degree and transferring to one of Florida’s
public universities will not be required by the university to take
additional General Education courses.
Although the Associate of Arts degree does not require the
choice of a major or area of concentration, students are advised
early in their academic careers to be aware of the upper division
requirements in specific fields of study. As a result, they may be
able to choose courses within the required General Education
core that meet the prerequisites for their chosen field of study. In
addition, the Associate of Arts degree requires 24 hours of elec-
tives, which should be carefully chosen to meet the future needs
of each student upon transfer to upper division.
Although the college will make every attempt to advise
students concerning upper division requirements for the various
majors, students are urged to become familiar with the require-
ments of the upper division universities to which they plan to
transfer. Students must select a program major by the time they
complete 24 college credit hours. With the help of their advisors,
students should choose electives that will be most advanta-
geous in the pursuit of their intended bachelor’s degrees. Each
upper division university annually publishes counseling manuals
for every major offered at that institution. Each state university
has a designated articulation officer to facilitate the transfer of
college graduates to the State university System.
Although there are not degree programs in the Fine Arts at
this time, we recommend that those students working on an
A.A. degree with a Fine Arts program emphasis check with the
discipline coordinators of their program for proper academic
advisement: Dance, Tari Kendall, 395-5916; Music/Vocal, Lynn
Sandefur, 381-3639; Music/Instrumental, Chris Sharp, 395-
5313; Theatre, Terry Klenk, 395-5092; Theatre/Technical, Owen
Reynolds, 395-5985; Visual Art, Matthew Newell, 395-5810;
Visual Art/Sculpture, Matt Shaffer, 395-5810.

requirements for the
associate of arts degree
• Complete the basic 36-hour requirement of the General
Education program.
• Complete at least 60 semester hours of credit in a prescribed
course of study with a minimum 2.0 grade point average.
Select courses from those with an assigned ID code of P
(Parallel). Courses designated O (Occupational) are not
guaranteed for acceptance by upper division institutions.
• Meet Rule 6A-10.30 (Gordon Rule). Courses marked with an
asterisk (*) will meet a portion of this rule.
• Pass or earn exemptions from all subtests of the College Level
Academic Skills Test (CLAST).
• Pay all fees and discharge all other financial obligations to the
college.
• File an application for graduation with the Office of Records.
General Education
General Education is the core preparation for lifelong learn-
ing. It fosters a disciplined curiosity that leads to exploring the
foundations and ranges of knowledge in the arts and sciences.
The General Education program at Santa Fe College develops
the student’s professional, intellectual and social skills, thereby
facilitating understanding of, and involvement in, cultural, politi-
cal and natural environments. General Education provides criti-
cal competencies students need in today’s society, to succeed in
the workplace, and to transfer education.
Specifically, the student will
• experience the perspectives of various disciplines that
comprise the arts and sciences and understand their
interconnection;
• gain the necessary foundation and depth and breadth of
knowledge to become an independent, creative, lifelong
learner;
• develop effective writing, speaking, reading, listening and
interpersonal skills;
• learn how to acquire, organize, evaluate, verify, present,
interpret and use information from various programs of study;
• sharpen problem-solving skills through deductive and
inductive reasoning, analysis, synthesis, and collaboration;
• develop the skills necessary to evaluate social, political,
cultural and scientific bodies of knowledge, their historical
development and their continuing influence;
• gain an appreciation for diversity in the world community; and
understand the importance of civic and social participation
and informed decision making.
The General Education requirements at Santa Fe College are
met by a minimum of 36 credit hours representing communica-
tion and mathematical skills and introductions to, or surveys
of, the academic areas of history, humanities, natural sciences,
social sciences, and creative arts. A focus on the diversity of the
human condition can be accomplished from the perspective of
any one of these areas.
Gordon Rule (6A-10.030)
1. In addition to assessments that may be adopted by the
State Board of Education or Board of Governors to measure
student achievement in college-level communication and
computation skills, other assessment requirements shall be
met by successful completion of course work in English and
mathematics. For the purposes of this rule, a grade of C or
higher shall be considered successful completion.
2010-2011 CATALOG
2. Prior to receipt of an Associate of Arts degree from a public 37
community college or university, or prior to entry into the
upper division of a public university or college, a student
shall complete successfully the following:
a. Six (6) semester hours of English course work and
six (6) semester hours of additional course work in
which the student is required to demonstrate college-
level writing skills through multiple assignments. Each
institution shall designate the courses that fulfill the
writing requirements of this section. These course
designations shall be submitted to the Statewide Course
Numbering System. An institution to which a student
transfers shall accept courses so designated by the
sending institution as meeting the writing requirements
outlined in this section.
b. Six (6) semester hours of mathematics course work at
the level of college algebra or higher. For the purposes
of this rule, applied logic, statistics and other such
computation course work, which may not be placed
within a mathematics department, may be used to fulfill
three (3) hours of the six (6) hours required by this
section.
c. Students awarded college credit in English based
on their demonstration of writing skills through dual
enrollment, advanced placement, or international
baccalaureate instruction pursuant to Rule 6A-10.024,
Florida Administrative Code (F.A.C.), and students
awarded college credit based on their demonstration
of mathematics skills at the level of college algebra

Gordon Rule Writing Courses
Santa Fe College has established the following rationale for
identifying writing intensive courses that may be used to satisfy
the college level writing portion of the Gordon Rule (2a above):
A writing intensive course is a content specific course that
has as major instructional, learning and assessment objectives,
a substantial discipline-based writing component that consists
of teacher-assessed college level writing assignments. College
level writing exhibits critical and analytical skills to discuss
a topic; presents paragraphs that are focused, developed,
organized, coherent, and unified; expresses ideas in complete,
clear, well-structured sentences; and enhances ideas through
discipline-appropriate diction, conventions, and rhetorical
strategies.

and instructors about trends in business and industry for which
students must be prepared. The curriculum is continuously
upgraded to meet employer specifications.
Course requirements for each Career and Technical Education
program at the college are updated each year. To obtain the
latest copy of course requirements, contact the appropriate
program advisor. Directors and program advisors for Career and
Technical Education programs are listed in the section below.
Career and Technical Education Programs
Career counseling for students in each technology program

Surgical Technology – Certificate 7338
The certified surgical technologist (CST) is a key member of
the surgical team who anticipates the needs of the surgeon and
passes instruments, sutures, and sponges in an efficient man-
ner during surgery. under the supervision of the surgeon, a CST
may be involved in holding retractors or instruments, sponging
or suctioning the operative site, or cutting suture material. The
surgical technologist must perform under pressure in stressful
and emergency situations, have a strong sense of responsibility,
considerable patience, manual dexterity, and physical stamina.
CSTs ensure that the operating room environment is safe, that
equipment functions properly, and that the operative procedure
is conducted under sterile conditions that maximize patient
safety. With additional specialized training or education, a CST
may act in the role of surgical first assistant, providing aid in
exposure of the wound, suturing and other technical functions.
Although CSTs primarily work in the hospital as the sterile
member of the surgical team, other job opportunities include
work in delivery rooms, emergency departments, and ambula-
tory care centers. There are also jobs in medical sales, product
development, and management roles in surgical services and
research. In addition, CSTs are employed directly by surgeons
as “private scrubs” and/or surgical first assistants. They have
served in the Peace Corps as well as in all branches of the mili-
tary. A number of them are instructors and directors of surgical
technology programs.
The program is fully accredited by the Accreditation Review
Committee on Surgical Technology Education. Graduates are
qualified to take the NBSTSA National Certification Examination.
Achieving the CST credential is crucial for professional recogni-
tion and advancement.

Sonography, better known as diagnostic medical sonography
(DMS) at Santa Fe College, is a 12-month certificate program
conducted in cooperation with imaging centers and hospitals
in surrounding urban and rural settings. The program correlates
classroom theory and laboratory experiences to provide a bal-
ance of courses to set the stage for students’ clinical competen-
cies. Students’ clinical competency performance expectations
increase with their tenure in the program.
The program was designed to accept those individuals
already certified in an imaging science (cardiovascular technol-
ogy, nuclear medicine technology, and radiography). However,
it has expanded to include nurses, physicians, respiratory
therapists, and persons possessing baccalaureate degrees. This
expanded group must complete required prerequisite course
work. Graduates are eligible to take the national certification
examinations offered by the American Registry of Diagnostic
Medical Sonographers and the American Registry of Radiologic
Technologists.
Diagnostic medical sonography is a dynamic entity of the
imaging sciences, which has grown rapidly over the past few
years. The growth of sonography is projected to continue, which
will lead to many employment opportunities nationwide. Salaries
are very competitive when compared to other professions
requiring similar levels of education. Typically, sonographers are
employed in clinics, hospitals, imaging centers, and physicians’
offices. Following additional academic preparation, other career
opportunities may become available in areas such as education,
management, research and technical advisement.

The Information Technology Education programs prepare
students to enter careers in the field of computer and informa-
tion systems as Internet programmers, network technologists,
Web site developers, and graphic designers. All programs are
performance based and include extensive hands-on training
using state-of-the-art technology.
The Information Technology Education A.S. degree programs
offer students practical training in computer skills and applica-
tions products commonly used in the commercial computer and
graphic design environments, in-depth knowledge of current
systems technology, experience with current software develop-
ment techniques, skills in related business activities, and a firm
foundation in communications and General Education areas.
The lab facilities at Santa Fe College include dedicated
computer science instructional labs and an open lab with state-
of-the-art networked microcomputer workstations. The college is
connected to the Internet, and all students have e-mail accounts
for added communications with instructors, administrators and
peers.
A college-sponsored organization, the Graphic Design
Student Association, is open to all students interested in graphic
design. Members participate in many professional development
and public service activities throughout the year. The club pro-
vides opportunities for students to use their design skills to work
on community projects. It also sponsors guest speakers, field
trips, and professional networking. Contact the Graphic Design
Technology office in Building N, room 309, (352) 395-5579, for
information.
The ITE Department has student advisors to provide informa-

Digital Media Technology –
Associate of Science 3620
The Associate of Science degree program in Digital Media
Technology offers instruction in the theory and practice of digital
media to prepare graduates for entry-level jobs in this expanding
career field.
Students in the Digital Media Technology program choose
between a Graphic Design specialization, an Interactive Media
Production specialization or an Interactive Web Design special-
ization. All specializations are admitted into the program twice
a year. Students also have the option to take the Interactive
Media Production group of courses as a Vocational Certificate
degree, after completing the Graphic Design track, for a more
thorough preparation for today’s evolving job market. Admission
is competitive. The Digital Media Technology program requires
a separate application beyond initial acceptance to Santa Fe
College.
Admission is based on faculty rankings of the departmen-
tal applications. Potential students must take the College
Placement Test and complete all required prep classes before
applying for admission to Digital Media Technology. Because
the Digital Media Technology department offers classes only in
the fall and the spring terms (no summer classes) it is recom-
mended that students plan to take their General Education
courses during the summer terms. For this reason it is not a
requirement that students complete their General Education
requirements before applying for admission to Digital Media
Technology. However, we strongly recommend that applicants
take classes in the Fine Arts Department before being admitted
to Digital Media. Some of these classes may also cover some
of their General Education requirements (please contact our
department for more information about classes we recommend).
Once admitted to Digital Media, students take classes full time
in a specific, or lockstep, sequence.
The program emphasizes creative thinking and problem
solving in combination with hands-on instruction on industry
standard computer hardware and software.
The students in the Graphic Design Specialization track learn
illustration, computer graphics, desktop publishing, Web page
design, electronic imaging, presentation techniques, photog-
raphy and design, and magazine and newspaper advertising
layout. Students learn about logos, brochures, newsletters,

The Bachelor of Applied Science (B.A.S.) is the designated
degree for flexible baccalaureate programs that are designed
to accommodate the unique demands for entry and advance-
ment within specific workforce sectors. B.A.S. programs provide
degree completion opportunities for students from a variety of
educational backgrounds, but primarily those with Associate of
Science degrees or the equivalent. B.A.S. degree programs ad-
here to the state’s common course prerequisites. B.A.S. degree
programs typically include capstone experiences that provide
opportunities for students to demonstrate the application of
acquired knowledge, skills, and competencies.

CLINICAL LABORATORY SCIENCES

Clinical Laboratory Sciences (CLS) –
Bachelor of Applied Science 5200
Program Director Dr. Kelly Gridley
Program Advisor Ms. Denise Remer
Faculty Dr. K. Gridley
The Clinical Laboratory Science Program at Santa Fe College
is located in the Department of Laboratory Technology at the
Charles R. and Nancy V. Perry Center for Emerging Technologies
in Alachua, Florida, and offers a Bachelor of Applied Science
degree in Clinical Laboratory Science.
Clinical Laboratory Science (CLS, also referred to as Medical
Technology) applies basic science to medical diagnostics. It is a
profession of highly knowledgeable and skilled individuals who
perform clinical laboratory tests on blood, body fluids, or tissue
samples. This is a critical part of health care, as the results pro-
vided by these laboratory professionals are a vital tool for physi-
cians in their diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of disease.
Many clinical laboratory scientists (or medical technologists)
work in hospitals, clinics, and medical centers, but positions are
also available in industrial settings, public health, reference and
research laboratories. These individuals may practice as general-
ists, typically covering the areas of serology, microbiology, clini-
cal chemistry, hematology, and immunohematology, or they may
specialize in one scientific area. After experience within the field,
there are opportunities for advancement into management or
teaching positions. Industry also offers opportunity in the area
of sales, public relations, research and development. There are
channels for continued academic specialization and advanced
degrees which in turn bring further employment opportunities
and benefits.
Admission to the B.A.S. in Clinical Laboratory Science pro-
gram requires a 2.5 overall GPA on all college course work; the
completion of the CLS program course prerequisites with a mini-
mum grade of C (STA 2023, BSC 2010/L, CHM 2211/L, MCB
2010/L); the completion of an associate’s degree (A.A., A.S.
or A.A.S.); the completion of all program course prerequisites;
and the completion of the College Level Academic Skills Test
with passing scores (unless otherwise appropriately exempted).
Applicants must complete an SF application for admission or
readmission, a separate application to the CLS program, and
submit a 500 word personal statement addressing their profes-
sional and personal goals. It is not necessary to complete all of
the common degree program prerequisite requirements before
admission (these courses are designated with an asterisk).
This limited access program is work-intensive and courses
include clinical practice in a variety of settings. Due to this, it is
strongly recommended that students be at least one-year post
high school and complete their foreign language requirement
prior to applying to the program. An FDLE background check and
Board of Clinical Lab Personnel trainee license are required to
complete clinical internship courses. Students with concerns
or questions should seek advisement from program advisor
Denise Remer at (352) 395-5839 or program faculty at (352)
381-3750.

The Bachelor of Applied Science (B.A.S.) in Health Services
Administration is designed to accommodate the unique
demands for entry and advancement within specific workforce
sectors. The program provides degree completion opportunities
for students from a variety of educational backgrounds, but
primarily those with Associate of Science (A.S). degrees or the
equivalent. The online program is designed to provide skills and
competencies that enable graduates to function as supervisors
and managers in health care settings. A health care administra-
tor is a well trained and skilled professional who serves in a
management capacity within a hospital, health care facility,
agency, or other organization that offers health care and related
services.
Santa Fe College’s Bachelor of Applied Science in Health
Services Administration adheres to the state’s common course
prerequisites and curriculum framework. Most students will enter
the program after completing an A.S.in a health related area, but
provisions have been made for enrollment by students who have
completed an associate degree in other areas. Health Services
Administration baccalaureate students will select electives to
create a specialty within their major and will complete a cap-
stone course in their final year. The capstone course will serve
as a summative evaluation point at which the students must
demonstrate attainment of the program’s learning outcomes.
All B.A.S. degree seeking students must complete the same
basic requirements as traditional baccalaureate students, in-
cluding 36 hours of General Education, College Level Academic
Skills Testing (CLAST), and demonstration of foreign language
competence. Due to the specialized nature of the B.A.S. in
Health Services Administration program, students are strongly
encouraged to consult with an academic advisor when applying
for admission. This program is taught primarily in an online envi-
ronment. Some campus attendance may be necessary.
