Edison State College Admissions
Policy
Edison State College affirms its policy of open admissions. All
applicants for admissions are considered solely on the basis of their
academic qualifications, without regard to their race, color, religion,
sex, age, disability, sexual orientation, marital status and national
origin. Edison State College reserves the right to deny admission to
any applicant whose behavior is not in keeping with the best interests
of Edison.
Edison State assesses a non-refundable admissions application fee
for all new students. The admissions application is not processed until
the admissions application fee is received. The Office of the Registrar
is responsible for administering Edison State's admissions policies and
for providing information regarding the admissions process, including
admissions requirements, residency requirements, student privacy
rights and classification of students.
Students may submit application for admission via our online
system at www.Edison.edu/admissions or may print and mail an
application with the application fee.
After the admissions application has been processed, the Office
of the Registrar notifies each applicant of his/her acceptance to Edison
State and provides the applicant with assessment, advisement and
registration information. Accepted applicants may begin their studies
any term. For important dates, please see the College Calendar.

Clearinghouse and Higher One Inc. as agents of the college, authorized
to release student information in the performance of their contracted
duties.
Notification of Access and Review of
Student Records (Public Law 93-380
Buckley Amendment)
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) affords
students certain rights with respect to their education records. These
rights are:
1 . The right to inspect and review their education record within
45 days of Edison State receiving a request for access. The
student should submit to the District Registrar or other
appropriate Edison State official a written request that
identifies the record(s) the student wishes to inspect. The
Edison State official arranges for access and notifies the
student of the time and place where the student may inspect
the records. In the case where a request is presented to an
Edison State official who does not maintain the requested
records, the Edison State official advises the student of the
correct official to whom the request should be addressed.
2. The right to request the amendment of their education
records if the student believes the record is inaccurate or
misleading. The student should submit to the Registrar or
other appropriate Edison State official a written request
clearly identifying the part of the record the student wants
changed, and specifying why it is inaccurate or misleading.
The Edison State official notifies the student if it is decided
not to amend the record as requested by the student. The
Edison State official advises the student of their right to a
hearing regarding the request for amendment and provides
additional information regarding the hearing procedures to
the student.
3. The right to request the non-disclosure of personally
identifiable information contained in their education record,
except to the extent that FERPA authorizes disclosure
without consent. Students should contact the Office of the
Registrar for more information. One exception that permits
disclosure without consent is the disclosure to school officials
with legitimate educational interests. A school official is
a person employed by Edison State in an administrative,
supervisory, academic, research, or support staff position
(including law enforcement unit personnel), a person or
company with whom Edison State has contracted (such as an
attorney, auditor, or collection agent), a person serving on the
District Board of Trustees, or a student serving on an official
committee, such as a disciplinary or grievance committee, or
assisting another school official in performing their duties.
A school official has legitimate educational interests if the
official needs to review an education record to fulfill their
professional responsibility. Upon request. Edison State
discloses education records without consent to officials of
school(s) to which the student seeks or intends to enroll.
4. The right to file a complaint with the U.S. Department of

Notification of Social Security Number
Collection and Usage
In compliance with Florida Statute 119.071(5), Edison State
College collects and uses student social security numbers (SSNs) only
for the Following purposes in performance of the College's duties and

This unique ID number is used for all associated employment and
educational purposes at Edison State.
1 . Office of the Registrar
Federal legislation relating to the Hope Tax Credit requires
all post secondary institutions to report student SSNs to the
Internal Revenue Service. This IRS requirement makes it
necessary for colleges to collect the SSN of every student. A
student may refuse to disclose his or her SSN to the College,
but the IRS is then authorized to tine the student in the
amount of $50.00. ( Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997 (Pub. L.
No. 105-34, 111 Stat. 788).
In addition to the federal reporting requirements, the public
school system in Florida uses SSNs as a student identifier
(Florida Statutes 1008.386: Florida Public Records. FS
119.07l(5)(a)2.a.(II). In a seamless K-20 system, it is
beneficial for post secondary institutions to have access to
the same information for purposes of tracking and assisting
students in the smooth transition from one education level to
the next. All SSNs are protected by the Family Educational
Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) and are never released to
unauthorized parties.
2. Financial Aid Office
The Office of Financial Aid requires students to submit
their social security numbers on various forms in order to
correctly identify applicants, match each applicant's financial
aid record with the student record, and help coordinate state
aid programs with federal and institutional aid programs.

authentication, patron verification and the elimination
of duplicate records. (Florida Public Records, FS
119.071(5)(a)6.b).
5. Upward Bound Program
The Upward Bound Program is a youth outreach
(intervention) project funded by a discretionary grant

project is required to exclusively serve eligible participants
that are citizens or nationals of the United States; or, are
permanent residents of the United States. In order to verify
a participant's project eligibility, social security numbers are
required and also later used when submitting information for
the annual performance reports due to the U.S. Departments
of Education. (Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended.
Sections 402. 483. and 4S4(p). 20 USC 1091 (p): Code of
Federal Regulations, 34 CFR 668.320) and 668.36).
Enrollment Verifications
Students needing official verification of their enrollment
should submit a completed Enrollment Verification Request to the
Office of the Registrar at least one week before the verification is
needed. Enrollment Verification Requests should include the specific
information needed, including actual dates of attendance, full-timepart-
time status, residency status, etc. Enrollment Verification requests are
only processed for the current or previous semesters. Future semester
enrollment verifications are only processed after the last day to drop
with a refund for that semester. Enrollment Verification requests are
not processed for any student or alumnus with an obligation to Edison
State such as unpaid fees, overdue loans, library books, audiovisual

Grade Corrections
A request for a grade correction must be made during the semester
immediately following the semester in which the incorrect grade was
31
assigned. The instructor who taught the class and the appropriate
academic dean must approve the grade correction. No grade will be
changed after a degree is awarded.
Academic Second Chance
The Academic Second Chance policy allows students to request
that transfer or Edison State coursework that is five calendar years or

Academic Second Chance is a one-time non-reversible opportunity.
The student must submit a completed Academic Second Chance
petition to the Office of the Registrar on the Lee Campus, or to the
Campus Dean at Charlotte, Collier and Hendry/Glades. The student
must complete a minimum of twelve semester hours while maintaining
a GPA of 2.00 or higher for the petition to be considered. ESL/ENS/
EAP and college preparatory courses are not included when calculating
the twelve semester hour minimum and the 2.0 GPA. Courses included
in a previously awarded ESC degree program are ineligible for petition
under this policy.
The following statement is added to the student's transcript when
the petition is approved: "Academic Second Chance policy has been
applied." All grades and courses remain on the transcript.
The Academic Second Chance policy is applied only once and
it cannot be reversed. Students planning to transfer to another college
or university are cautioned that the receiving institution may use all
grades earned when computing a GPA for admissions eligibility or
for other purposes. Academic Second Chance has no effect on the
student's financial aid award history. Students may request Academic
Second Chance for a term or terms, but not individual courses within
a term. Academic Second Chance has no effect on the calculation of
course attempts related to the multiple course attempts surcharge.
Petitions
The Petitions process is designed to review, based on a student's
written request, Edison State College policies or procedures related
to:
1. Admissions eligibility to the College;

Baccalaureate Program; Substitution/waiver of a course
required for a degree or certificate program;
3. Readmission from academic suspension or dismissal;

6. Exception to registration polices or deadlines.
Students begin the process by completing an official petition
form available in the Office of the Registrar, Office of Counseling and
Advising, or the Campus Dean's Office. Completed petitions must be
submitted to the same office by the end of the semester immediately
following the semester in which the event occurred. Petitions that are
more than one academic year old arc not considered.
Many petitions, especially those regarding admissions processes
are handled directly in the Office of the Registrar. The Office of the
Registrar makes a determinaiion based on the information collected by
his/her office or provided by the student, and may request a meeting
with the student for further information or clarification. If necessary,
additional college administrators responsible for the area of the
petition may be involved in the decision. The Office of the Registrar
will inform the student of the decision by e-mail. Petitions without
third party supporting documentation will not be considered.
Appeal of an Academic Petition
A student has a right to appeal a decision made on an academic
petition. A student wishing to appeal a decision must complete an
appeal form, and return it to the Office of the Registrar or the campus
dean or President's Office. The appeal is forwarded to the appropriate
campus or academic dean or the Campus President's Office, if the
appropriate campus or academic dean or the Campus President had not
previously reviewed the petition. The appeal is forwarded to the Office
of the Vice President of Academic and Student Affairs if the appropriate
campus or academic dean or the Campus President made the original
decision. A copy of the original petition is automatically part of the
subsequent appeal. An appeal is not simply a review of the original
petition decision but a request to reverse the original decision. The
student must supply new, relevant, previously undisclosed information,
or present an argument as to why the original petition decision should
be reversed. For an appeal to be successful, new information must be
critical to the case, and new consideration or arguments should prove
the student's case conclusively. The reviewing office may request a
meeting or additional information for clarification. The Vice President
of Academic and Student Affairs has responsibility for making the
final academic decision for Edison State College. Appeal forms are
available in the Office of the Registrar or campus dean's office.

subpoena, provided that in advance of compliance with the court order
or subpoena Edison State notified the student. A student who objects
to the release of their records must file a motion to invalidate the
court order or subpoena, and provide Edison State with copies of the
relevant legal documents. All releases of student information are made
in compliance with state and federal regulations.

Credit Based on ACE
Recommendations
The American Council on Education (ACE) Corporate Programs
recommends academic credit for college-level examinations and
training courses offered by business and industry, labor unions,
associations, and government agencies. Edison State College
recognizes the recommendations of ACE as shown on the following
pages. In order to receive credit, the Edison State College Office of the
Registrar must receive official documentation of successful completion
of the training, or examination scores, either from an ACE transcript or
score report, or from the sponsoring organization. Documentation must
be sent from ACE or the sponsoring organization directly to Edison
State College Office of the Registrar. P.O. Box 60210, Fort Myers. FL
33906. Credit will not be awarded if it duplicates credit already posted
to a student's transcript.
ACE program evaluations are published in the National Guide to
Education Credit for Training Programs and the Guide to Educational
Credit by Examination, which are distributed annually to college
registrars and admissions officers throughout the United States.
Academic divisions within the College may make a determination,
on a case-by-case basis, of credit awards for training programs or
examinations not listed below, but contained in one of the ACE
publications. If a determination is made to grant a credit award, the
Academic Dean will notify the Office of the Registrar accordingly.

Departmental By-Pass Exam Policy
Departmental course by-pass exams are designed to allow a
student to challenge prerequisites for specific courses. All Edison
Stale College departmental by-pass exams will follow the rules and
procedures outlined below. Failure of a student or department to strictly
adhere to the follow ing policies will result in denial of prerequisite by-
pass by that examination.
Students must initiate a request with the appropriate Department
Chair. Should the Chair approve, the student must arrange tor the
examination with the department offering the course.
Departments offer by-pass exams m a limited number of courses
and have the prerogative of excluding certain courses which are
demonstrably unsuited for waiver by examination.
The academic standards for by-pass examinations will be
commensurate with the academic standards for the course. If a student's
performance on the examination is judged to be of C or higher quality,
the department Chair will notify the Office of the Registrar that the
student w ill not be required to complete the course as part of his/her
academic program. Students will not earn credits through by-pass
examinations.
If a student fails to achieve C or higher quality work on an
attempted examination, no action is required other than the notification
of the student by the department. However, that student is not eligible
for another such examination in the same course. Once a student has
failed a course, the student is not eligible for a by-pass examination
for that course.
Students may only take a by-pass exam during the allotted
period designated by Edison State College.
• Students must show a valid student ID in order to take the
exam.
No books, notes, and/or papers are allowed in the
examination room. All personal items, including cell phones
and electronic devices, must be left outside the testing area.
• If calculators and or scrap paper are needed for the exam and
allowed by the specific course, they will be provided by the
college and collected before the student leaves the testing
site.
• There will be strict adherence to predetermined departmental
time limits.
All by-pass exams must be proctored by the respective
department associate dean, chair, or faculty member
designated by the individual departments.
• A grade of 70% or better must be earned in order for the
exam to count toward a prerequisite bypass.
• Once the student has received the exam, he/she may not
leave the testing site. If the student opts to leave, he/she may
not return to finish the exam.
• Once the student completes his/her exam, the exam is
graded and the grade is sent to the Department Chair. The
Department Chair submits the results to the Registrar through
the by-pass Exam Grade Report Form.
• Students will be notified o\ the results within two weeks of
completing the exam.
• It is the responsibility of the students to notify the department
Associate Dean or Chair at least two weeks prior to the
testing date if he/she wishes to take a by-pass exam.
A student may take an individual exam only once.
• No exam may be taken by a student w ho has already begun
the course.
A student may not take a by-pass exam if he/she has already
taken and'or failed or received a W (withdrawal) in the
specific course.
• A by-pass exam cannot be used to replace an I (Incomplete)
for any course.
A student requesting a by-pass exam must be currently
enrolled at Edison State College.
A student may not use a by-pass as part of his or her credit
load or for maintaining financial aid requirements.
Challenge exams are offered in a limited number of courses.
Student records will be reviewed for comparable courses to determine
eligibility to take departmental challenge exams. Upon successful
completion of a challenge exam, the student will receive credit, but
no grade, for the course. Edison State College reserves the right to
deny students an opportunity to challenge credit through this process.
If eligible, students can pay the applicable testing fee to sit for the
challenge exam. Students must successfully pass the challenge exam
to receive comparable credit. Students are also encouraged to complete
any related CLEP exams to receive college-level credit. Information
about CLEP exams may be obtained in the Testing Department at
Edison State College.
Transfer Information and
Policies
Transfer Classification
A student is classified as a transfer student if he/she has previously
registered at any other regionally accredited college or university,
regardless of the amount of time spent in attendance or credit earned.
Students may transfer credit from other institutions into Edison State
College; however, at least 25% of the program or certificate credit
must be earned at Edison (excluding CLEP, credit by exam, or prior
learning).
Applicants who plan to earn a degree or certificate at Edison State
College must provide official transcripts from all previously attended
colleges or universities. Official transcripts must be sent directly to
Edison State College, Office of the Registrar, Lee Campus, within
the first semester of enrolling. These documents must be sent directly
from the educational institution to Edison State. Hand-delivered or
faxed transcripts are not considered official.
Acceptance of Transfer Credits from
Regionally Accredited Institutions
All credits earned at other colleges or universities accredited by one
of the six regional accrediting bodies will be recorded as transfer credit
and placed on the student's permanent record (transcript). Courses will
be equated to a similar course or an appropriate unclassified elective.
For students pursuing a baccalaureate degree, all earned credits will be
recorded at the appropriate level, i.e. freshman, sophomore, junior or
senior level.
Acceptance of Transfer Credits from Non-
Regionally Accredited Institutions
Edison State may accept credits from institutions that are not
regionally accredited in accordance with the State of Florida K-
16 Articulation Agreement, which recognizes courses approved in
connection with the Florida Department of Education Statewide
Course Numbering System.
Acceptance of credits from non-regionally accredited institutions
of higher education will be based upon evaluation and recommendation
from the Edison State College instructional department responsible for
the course subject area(s). Credits awarded at institutions not regionally
39
accredited may be accepted by Edison State College and placed on the
transcript if the credits represent collegiate level coursework relevant
to the program of study and course credit and level of instruction
resulting in student competencies that are at least equivalent to those
of students enrolled in comparable instruction at Edison State. The
following factors will be considered in determining whether courses
are transferable and if so, how they will be recorded.
1. Breadth, depth and rigor of course content as evidenced
by course syllabi, prerequisites, placement test scores, exit
requirements, student portfolios, textbooks, writing or oral
communication requirements, grading standards, catalog
descriptions, etc.;
2. Qualifications of the faculty member(s) providing the
instruction;
3. Age of credits;
4. Recommendations through other established credit
assessment bodies (e.g. ACE);
5. Institutional accreditation via other professional assessment
accrediting bodies (e.g. AM A, NLN. state agency);
6. Secondary documentation of course competencies (e.g.
professional certification, standardized exam scores, etc.).
Please note: Edison does not transfer degrees from non-regionally
accredited institutions.
Recording Transfer Credits on the
Student's Permanent Record (Transcript)
While evaluating credits. Edison State College reserves the right
to delay the recording of transfer credits on the student's permanent
record. Final award or posting of credits to the student's permanent
record may be contingent upon successful completion of one or more
of the following requirements:
1. Edison State College residency requirement:
2. Successful completion of higher-level courses in the
student's program of study;
3. Successful completion of subsequent courses in the subject/
course sequence;
4. Demonstration of specific lab clinical skills or other applied
competencies;
5. Additional supplemental independent directed study in the
subject area;
6. Presentation of a portfolio of coursework substantiating the
competencies;
7. Verification of faculty credentials at the transferring
institution.
Once accepted, transfer credits will be recorded on the student's
permanent record as externally awarded and will indicate the original
institution awarding the credit. Where appropriate, an equivalent
Edison State College course number may also be indicated. When
Edison State College docs not offer an equivalent course or if the
course differs substantively from the suggested Edison State College
course, the transfer credits may be listed on the transcript as an elective
Application of Transfer Credits to the
Baccalaureate Degree Programs
In order to maintain both flexibility and subject area integrity, as
well as to recognize the structure of the Baccalaureate programs, the
following guidelines apply to the use of upper division elective credit
for program completion requirements.
a. Upper division courses previously taken from related
academic areas, which are not identified as equivalent
courses through transfer evaluation, may be reviewed on a
case-by-casc basis by the Associate Dean of Baccalaureate
Programs in collaboration with program faculty. Students
may present courses for review by following the process
outlined below:
b. Submit to the District Registrar, in writing, a request for
course review (attach the Edison State Course Outline for
the course in question. A separate form must be submitted for
each course),
c. Attach all relevant documentation (transfer course syllabi,
assignments, exams, course outlines). If needed, a student
may be asked to participate in a meeting with the evaluator.
Once a decision has been made, a letter will be sent to the
student from the District Registrar's office acknowledging
the action taken.
Please note that equivalencies may be determined by combining
multiple documentation sources. As a result, the Associate Dean
may determine that credit will be awarded after completion of
specific Edison State College upper division coursework or through a
combination of transfer courses where grades are consistent with the
Baccalaureate program graduation requirement.
1. Failure to report previous college level work attempted
constitutes a falsification of the admissions application and
subjects students to loss of all credits earned and dismissal.
2. Applicants eligible to return to the previously attended
institutions of origin are admitted to Edison State. Final
acceptance is made after receipt and evaluation of official
transcripts.
3. Applicants who were suspended or dismissed from the
previously attended institution s) may be provisionally
admitted to Edison State. These applicants must submit a
petition requesting admission.
4. Applicants admitted to Edison State, who were not in good
academic standing at the previously attended institutions, are
classified in the same or similar manner under Edison State's
Standards of Academic Progress.
5. Credits and grades earned at the previously attended
institution(s) transfer in but may not be accepted for a
specific program. All grades earned at previously attended
institutions transfer in to Edison State as part of the student's
academic record. Grades of "S" and "P" will be accepted
and credit will be awarded but will not be calculated in the
student's transfer GPA.
6. Applicants may be exempt from placement testing based
on an unofficial review of the student's college transcripts.
Completion of specific coursework will be assessed for an
exemption from all three parts of the placement test. (Please
see Assessment Services in the Student Services section, for
more information.)
7. Applicants who have completed an AA or a baccalaureate
degree at another regionally accredited college or university
cannot enroll in an AA degree program at Edison.
a. In-State AA students with a previously earned Associate
in Arts degree from a Florida community college or
State University are considered to have met the general
education requirements of an Edison State College
degree.
:
a
40
b. Out of State AA students with a previously earned
Associate in Arts degree from a college or university
outside the State o\ Florida will be reviewed on a ease-
by-ease basis to match the 36 hours general edueation
eore requirements. Students must have earned
equivalent eredit hours in each general edueation
eategory (i.e. 6 hours of humanities, 9 hours of soeial
behavioral science). Students with a minimum of 36
hours of general edueation eore are considered to have
met the general edueation requirements of Edison State
College.
8. Previously earned Baeealaureate degrees:
a. Students who have earned a previous baeealaureate
degree from a regionally aeeredited institution
are eonsidered to have met the general edueation
requirements of an Edison State College degree.
b. Students who have earned a previous baeealaureate
degree from an International institution, and have had
the neeessary eourse-by-course evaluation eompleted
by an approved International Evaluator, will be
reviewed on ease-by-case basis for specific program
admission and graduation requirements. For some
programs, in the event the student does not receive
transferable credit for English Composition 1 and II. the
student will need to complete the TOEFL for waiver
from ENC 1101 and ENC 1102. Students must score
a minimum of 90 on the Internet-based test or a 550
on the paper-based version of the TOEFL for a waiver
from the composition requirements.
9. Students who have completed previous upper division
coursevvork in an education program may present those
courses for evaluation by the Discipline Chair for Education.
In some cases, students may be required to submit portfolio
icons or assignments to demonstrate competency in the
required Florida Educator Accomplished practices, reading
or ESOL standards. The student is urged to provide
the Discipline Chair for Education with corresponding
syllabi, samples of student work and textbook/assignment
information related to each upper div ision course.
Edison State College reserves the right to deny common
course number credit for courses in which practicum or
internship components reside.
1 0. Students who hold a valid, active, unencumbered Registered
Nursing License in the State of Florida, who completed a
nursing program outside of Florida to include a nursing
diploma program or international program, are eligible to
receive thirty (30) credit hours of lower division NUR credit
toward completion of the Bachelor of Science in Nursing.
Through the admissions process, official transcripts from the
applicable program! s) must be furnished to the Office of the
Registrar.
Students who have completed other program content area
courses through a nursing diploma or internationally based
program may be eligible to seek additional credit. Student
records will be reviewed for comparable courses to determine
eligibility to take departmental challenge exams. Edison State
College reserves the right to deny students an opportunity
to challenge credit through this process. If eligible, students
can pay the applicable testing fee to sit for the challenge
exam. Students must successfully pass the challenge exam
to receive comparable eredit. Students are also encouraged
to complete any related CLEP exams to receive college level
credit.
1 1 . Transfer Evaluation
a. Upon review of evaluated transfer credit, the District
Dean Campus Dean/Associate Dean/Program Coordinator
or Director may submit a Change Transfer Credit Form
to the Registrar's Office. The use of this form is to change
the transfer designation when an equivalency has been
determined.
12. Transient Student Enrollment
Baccalaureate degree-seeking students must obtain prior
approval to cross enroll in courses intended to fulfill upper
division program requirements. Approval will be determined
by the Associate Dean in collaboration with program
faculty.
13. Students MUST complete a minimum of 25% (30 credit hours)
of course work at Edison to graduate from Edison with the
bachelor's degree. English for Non-Native Speakers below
the 1600 level (ESL/ENS. EAP) and college preparatory
courses do not apply. Thirty (30) upper division program
hours (courses at the 3000 level or above) must be completed
through Edison State College.
State University System Articulation
Agreement
Florida law provides that Associate in Arts degree graduates of
a Florida community college must be granted admission to an upper-
division program offered by a state university or college, unless that
program has been designated limited access (see Transfer Guarantees
below) If limited access minimum standards are not met, universities
may deny both acceptance into the desired program and acceptance
into the university. The law gives priority to community college
Associate in Arts graduates over out-of-state students for admission to
a state university. Florida community colleges have similar articulation
agreements with the Independent Colleges and Universities of Florida
(ICUF).
Effective Fall 2000, all graduates of an Associate in Science
degree program listed in the Statewide Articulation Manual shall be
granted admission into a corresponding baccalaureate program at the
state universities or colleges, except for limited-access programs and
those requiring specific grades in particular courses for admission. The
Florida Department of Education stipulates that the integrity of the
general education program will be recognized by all public institutions
of higher education in Florida. Any questions about the general
education program should be addressed to an Academic Advising
Specialist or the Coordinator of Counseling Services.
Transfer Guarantees
Florida community college Associate in Arts graduates are
guaranteed the following rights when transferring to a state university
under the Statewide Articulation Agreement ( State Board of Education
Rule6A-l0.024):
1 . Admission to one of the state universities or colleges, except
to limited-access programs which have additional admission
requirements.
2. Acceptance of at least 60 credit hours by the state universities
toward the baccalaureate degree.
41
3. Adherence to university requirements and policies based
on the catalog in effect at the time the student first entered
a community college, provided the student maintains
continuous enrollment.
4. Transfer of equivalent courses under the Statewide Course
Numbering System.
5. Acceptance by the state universities of credit earned in
accelerated programs (e.g., CLEP, Advanced Placement.
Accelerated Programs. International Baccalaureate).
6. No additional general education core requirements.
7. Advance knowledge of selection criteria for limited access
programs.
8. Equal opportunity with native university students to enter
limited-access programs.
The universities determine the courses and prerequisites that
must be taken to receive a baccalaureate degree. Although all credits
earned toward an Associate in Arts degree will transfer to a university,
not all credits earned will meet program prerequisites or course
requirements for a baccalaureate degree. Therefore, students must
assume responsibility for knowing the course requirements of the
intended program and taking the appropriate course! s) while pursuing
the Associate in Arts degree.
Section 1009.286. Florida Statutes, establishes an "excess hour"
surcharge for a student seeking a baccalaureate degree at a state
university. It is critical that students, including those entering Florida
colleges, are aware of the potential for additional course fees.
"Excess hours" are defined as hours that go beyond 120% of the
hours required for a baccalaureate degree program. For example, if the
length of the program is 1 20 credit hours, the student may be subject to
an excess hour surcharge for any credits attempted beyond 144 credit
hours (1 20 x 120%).
All students whose educational plan may include earning a
bachelor's degree should make every effort to enroll in and successfully
complete those courses that are required for their intended major on
their first attempt. Florida college students intending to transfer to a
state university should identity a major or "transfer program" early and
be advised of admission requirements for that program, including the
approved common prerequisites. Course withdrawals and'or repeats,
as well as enrollment in courses non-essential to the intended major,
may contribute to a potential excess hours surcharge.
Edison State University Center
In accordance with F.S. 1 007.22, Edison State College has established
formal agreements with regionally accredited education institutions to
increase access to higher education in the ESC service area.
The Edison University Center (EUC) is an alliance between
Edison State College and regionally accredited colleges and universities
offering unique opportunities for Edison graduates to earn bachelor
and graduate level degrees. Features of degree programs offered
through the EUC include the convenience of distance-based learning
formats, classes on an Edison campus, transfer of up to 90 hours of
credit from Edison, seamless admission from a bachelor's program
into a graduate program and, in some cases, tuition benefits. Students
are supported in their learning by ESC staff. Participating colleges
and universities may also have support staff on-site. EUC programs
are individually tailored by Edison and participating institutions and
compliment Edison associate and baccalaureate degrees.
For more information about Edison State College baccalaureate
degrees, consult the EUC website or the Baccalaureate and University
Programs Division at (239) 489-9295 or (800) 749-2322. option #5. or
e-mail bachelorsdeurceto EdisonState.edu.
Transfer Services
Shidents who plan to transfer to an upper level college or
university program are encouraged to consult with an Academic
Advisor or Coordinator of Student Services concerning transfer
requirements. Students should also obtain a catalog and list of the
requirements from the institution that they expect to attend. The
Florida Academic Counseling and Tracking for Students program
(available via www.FACTS.org) offers a variety of student services
and resources provided by the State of Florida and participating
institutions. Students anticipating transfer should begin a preliminary
application to the college of their choice in the fall session of their
sophomore year. Students who plan to transfer to Edison State College
Bachelor programs should meet with an Academic Advisor or staff in
the Baccalaureate and University Programs Division.

Article IV: Academic Integrity
Edison State College recognizes that adherence to high principles
of academic integrity is vital to the academic function of the College.
Therefore, the entire academic community shares the responsibility for
establishing and maintaining standards of academic integrity. Those
in charge of academic tasks have an obligation to make known the
standards and expectations of acceptable academic conduct. Each
student has an obligation to know and understand those standards
and expectations. While the academic community recognizes that
the responsibility for learning and personal conduct is an individual
matter, all students and faculty members are expected to help maintain
academic integrity at the College by refusing to participate in, or
tolerate, any dishonesty.
The general aspects of academic integrity expected of our entire
academic community can be summarized in positive statements
regarding student behavior. Edison State College expects all students
to be honest in their academic endeavors. All academic work should
be performed in a manner which will provide an honest reflection
of the knowledge and abilities of each student. All members of the
community understand the rationale for. and the critical nature of.
academic integrity. Therefore, any policy associated with academic
integrity must be linked to efforts to educate students, faculty and staff
regarding definitions, concepts and issues associated with academic
integrity.
Violations of student academic integrity include any actions
which attempt to promote or enhance the academic standing of any
student by dishonest means. The following is a listing of some, but not
necessarily all. actions that are violations of academic integrity:
1 . Cheating on an academic exercise. Cheating includes giving
or receiving unauthorized aid or information by copying, by
using materials not authorized, by attempting to receive credit
for work performed by another, or by otherwise failing to
abide by academic rules. The person who aids an individual
in cheating will be held equally responsible.
2. Plagiarizing the words, ideas, or data of others by not
properly acknowledging the source. Plagiarism includes
failing to identify verbatim statements as quotations and
failing to give appropriate credit and citations of sources
used. The principles of academic integrity require that all
work submitted or presented without citation of sources will
be the student's own work, not only on tests, but in themes,
papers, homework, and class presentations, unless it has
been clearly specified that the work is a team effort.
3. Fabricating information with intent to deceive. Fabrication
includes, but is not limited to, falsifying experimental data
or results, inventing research or laboratory data or results for
work not done, knowingly presenting falsified or invented
results, citing information not taken from the source
indicated, falsely claiming sources not used, known to be
false, misleading, or not supported by evidence.
4. Submitting any academic accomplishment in whole or in part
for credit more than once whether in the same course or in
different courses without the prior consent of the instructor.
5. Obtaining or attempting to obtain an examination, or any
part of it. before, during, or after the examination has been
given.
6. Failing to follow approved test taking procedures by
performing such acts as changing answers after exam is scored
and communicating verbally, non-verbally or electronically
with another person during an exam, or leaving while an
exam is still in progress.

State College computer files without permission.

Academic Grievance Procedures
Guidelines
As with most procedures included in this catalog, the academic
grievance policy is based on the assumption that academic
disagreements should be resolved by student and faculty interaction.
These formal grievance procedures are intended to provide all Edison
State College students with opportunities for objective review of facts
and events that are related to the cause of a grievance when the involved
faculty members and students arc not able to resolve a dispute on their
own. These reviews will be accomplished in a collegial. non-judicial
atmosphere. All parties are expected to behave in a civil manner.
Article I: Definition of Terms
1. A formal academic grievance is a claim that a specific
academic decision or action that affects that student's
academic record or status has violated published policies and
procedures, or has been applied to the grievant in a manner
different from that used for other students. Grievances may
relate to such decisions as the assignment of a grade seen by
the student as incorrect or the dismissal or failure of a student
for his or her action(s). Academic grievances will not deal
with general student complaints.
2. The instructor is any classroom instructor, thesis/dissertation
directed study supervisor, committee member or chair,
or counselor/advisor who interacts with the student in an
academic environment.
3. An incorrect grade refers to a grade that is not representative
of a student's ability or performance as defined by the grading
rubric associated with a specific course.
4. A Discipline Chairperson is the academic head of a discipline:
this can be a dean discipline designee.
5. Dean means Campus-specific Academic Dean, the District
Academic Deans, and or the District Vice President for
Academic and Student Affairs.
6. Written Communication will include hard copy documents
sent to the recipient's address of record.
7. For purposes of this policy, the burden of proof is with the
student; this implies that the student has the responsibility
for supplying evidence that proves that an instructor's
decision, action, or grade assignment was incorrect. An
incorrect grading decision is one in which the grade is based
on something other than the student's ability as described
by the grading rubric published in the course syllabus. All
decisions will be based on the preponderance of evidence.
Article II: Resolution at the Discipline
Level
1 . The student shall first make a reasonable effort to resolve his
or her grievance with the instructor concerned, with the date
of the incident triggering the start of the process (i.e., the
issuance of a grade; the receipt of an assignment), and the
instructor shall accommodate a reasonable request to discuss
and attempt to resolve this issue.
2. If the situation cannot be resolved or the instructor is not
available, the student shall file a notification letter within
fifteen business days of the triggering incident to the
Discipline Chairperson. This shall be a concise written
statement of particulars and must include information
pertaining to how, in the student's opinion. College policies
or procedures were violated. The Discipline Chairperson
shall provide a copy of this statement to the instructor.
3. The Discipline Chairperson shall discuss the statement jointly
or individually with the student and the instructor to see if
the grievance can be resolved. If the discipline maintains its
own grievance procedure, it should be applied at this point. If
the grievance can be resolved, the chairperson shall provide
a statement to that effect to the student and the instructor
with a copy to the appropriate Associate Dean.
4. I f the grievance cannot be resolved, the Discipline Chairperson
shall notify both the student and the instructor, informing
the student of his/her right to file a written request within
three weeks to advance the grievance to the Campus level.
The instructor may tile a written response to the grievance
petition. Upon receipt of the student's request to move the
process to the Campus Level and the instructor's response
to the grievance (if provided), the Discipline Chairperson
shall immediately notify the Campus Dean or Vice President
of Instruction that a formal grievance has been submitted,
providing copies of the student's initiating grievance
statement, any instructor's written response to the griev ance.
and the written request from the student to have the process
advanced to the Campus Level (which may include additional
responsive or final statements by the student). Should the
student not file a written request to move the grievance to the
Campus Level within the prescribed time, the grievance will
end.
If the grievance concerns the Discipline Chairperson or other
officials of the department, the student has a right to bypass the
departmental process and proceed directly to the Campus Level.
NOTE: Disciplines may develop their own formal procedures
for considering grievances. Such procedures must be considered and
approved by the District Vice President for Academic and Student
Services, and published on the Discipline's website. When such
procedures exist, the Discipline's examination of the grievance will
unfold as specified in the procedures
Article III: Resolution at the Campus
Level
1 . Upon receipt of the grievance, the Campus Dean or Vice
President for Instruction will either determine that the
matter is not an academic grievance and dismiss it, or. with

the Committee or if there is a procedural violation of these
Student Academic Grievance Procedures. Such an appeal
must be made in writing to the District Vice President for
Academic and Student Affairs within three weeks of receipt
of the decision from the Campus Dean. Otherwise, the
decision is final and not subject to further appeal within

submitted to the Vice President for Academic and Student
Affairs.

Affairs.
4. Decisions made at the District Level are final.
Written Concerns or Complaints
A concern or complaint is to be distinguished from a petition.
A signed concern or complaint with contact information allows the
College to respond most effectively to the concern or complaint
expressed. A written concern or complaint is to be delivered to the
supervisor of the area, except for areas noted below. Since a concern
or complaint is normally related to a specific incident, it is to be
addressed by the appropriate College official. A concern or complaint
about a grade will be referred to the professor, since it is the professor's
professional obligation to assess student performance.
A concern or complaint related to sexual harassment must be
submitted to the District Dean of Student Services, Edison State
College, 8099 College Parkway. P.O. Box 60210, Fort Myers, Florida
33906-6210. telephone 239-489-9027 (see "State Statutes and College
Policies Affecting Students").
Violations of College policy must be submitted to the Chief
Learning Officer. "Incident Report" forms may be obtained from the
Security Office on each campus.

Florida Statute Section 1006.69
VACCINATION AGAINST MENINGOCOCCAL MENINGITIS
AND HEPATITIS B
1. A postsecondary educational institution shall provide
detailed information concerning the risks associated with
meningococcal meningitis and hepatitis B and the availability,
effectiveness, and known contraindications of any required
or recommended vaccine to every student, or to the student's
parent if the student is a minor, who has been accepted for
admission.
2. An individual enrolled in a postsecondary educational
institution who will be residing in on-campus housing
shall provide documentation of vaccinations against
meningococcal meningitis and hepatitis B unless the
individual, if the individual is I 8 years of age or older, or the
individual's parents, if the individual is a minor, declines the
vaccinations by signing a separate waiver for each of those
vaccines, provided by the institution, acknowledging receipt
and review of the information provided.
3. This section does not require any postsecondary educational
institution to provide or pay for vaccinations against
meningococcal meningitis and hepatitis B.
Meningitis is a serious disease that affects the brain and spinal cord.
Because bacterial meningitis is a grave illness and can rapidly progress
to death, it requires early diagnosis and treatment. This is often difficult
because the symptoms closely resemble those of the flu and the highest
incidence occurs during late winter and early spring (flu season). When
not fatal, bacterial meningitis can lead to permanent disabilities such as
hearing loss, brain damage or loss of limbs.
Hepatitis B is a serious infectious disease caused by a virus that
attacks the liver. The hepatitis B virus (HBV) can cause life-long
infection that leads to cirrhosis (scarring) of the liver, liver cancer, or
liver failure. There is no cure for hepatitis B. but the infection can be
prevented by vaccination. Each year, about 200.000 people are infected
with the virus and 5.000 people die.
Although there have been no reported cases of meningitis or

Board of Trustees Policies
POLICY REGARDING STUDENTS WITH HUMAN
IMMUNODEFIENCY VIRUS (HIV) (Edison State College District
Board of Trustees Policy 6Hx6:6.02)
The following guidelines are established regarding students with
Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV):
I . DEFINITION: For the puqioses of this policy, a student with
57
HIV falls into one of the following categories:
a. An individual who tests positive for HIV antibody but
who has no symptom manifestations; or
b. An individual who is diagnosed as having Acquired
Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS)-displaying one
or more opportunistic infections.
STUDENT RIGHTS: The College recognizes that the rights
of students with HIV to obtain education and employment
must be balanced against the rights of persons without HIV
who wish to be reasonably protected from contracting the
virus.
a. Both the Federal Vocational Rehabilitation Act of
1973 and the Florida Education Equity Act prohibit
discrimination against disabled persons, and students
with HIV are classified as disabled.
b. Precautions will be provided to students in Allied
Health Programs and science laboratory classes.
c. Any student who reveals that he/she has HIV will be
afforded confidentiality in accordance with appropriate
statutes and state law.
ADMISSIONS: No student will be denied admission to the
College solely on the basis that he/she has HIV.
a. The College will not require a student to reveal whether
or not he'shc has HIV when applying for admission to
the College.
b. furthermore, the College will not require serological
testing to determine if a student seeking admission has
HIV.
ATTENDANCE WITHDRAWAL. AND/OR
SUSPENSIONS: Under most circumstances, no student
will be required to cease class attendance solely on the basis
of having HIV.
a. If a student with HIV requests special accommodations
due to illness (i.e., disability), the College will
acquire sufficient information about such disability
to make a determination regarding the requested
accommodation(s).
1. Any student wishing to request special
accommodations should contact the District Dean
of Student Services.
2. On the Charlotte and Collier campuses, the student
should contact the Campus President's Office.
b. The College will not impose any rule(s) or restriction s)
upon a student with HIV that will have the effect of
limiting that individual's participation in the College's
educational programs and/or services solely on the
basis of that person's disability.
c. Current research has indicated the possibility that
the central nervous system may become affected by
HIV, which may lead to progressive neurological and
cognitive dysfunction and subsequent inability of the
student to maintain scholastic performance. Decisions
as to such a student continuing to attend class or being
suspended or withdrawn from class(es) will be made on
a case-by-case basis after reasonable accommodations
have been examined or tried, and after an examination
of the facts demonstrates to the College that the
student can no longer function as necessary to meet the
requirements of the student's course or program, or that
the student presents a health or safety risk to self or to
the college community.
DISCRIMINATION AND HARASSMENT COMPLAINT
PROCEDURE (Edison State College District Board of Trustees
Policy 6Hx6:2.03)
Edison State College is committed to providing an educational
and working environment free from discrimination or harassment
based on such factors as race, sex, age, religion, national origin,
disability, marital, or veteran status. Edison State College, as a matter
of policy and in compliance with Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of
1964 and the Florida Civil Rights Act of 1992 for employees and Title
I\ of the Education Act of 1 972 and the Florida Education Equity Act,
absolutely opposes any act of discrimination or harassment and strictly
prohibits and will not tolerate such action, whether those involved stand
in a subordinate-supervisory relationship, student-faculty relationship,
student-student relationship or others doing business with Edison State
College.
For purposes of this Policy "discrimination" includes, but is not
limited to. action with partiality or prejudice for or against a person of
a group on the basis of one of the protected categories above.
For purposes of this Policy "harassment" includes, but is not
limited to, verbal, physical, and visual conduct that creates intimidating,
offensive, or hostile working or educational environment or that
interferes with work performance or educational opportunities.
There are two types of educational 'workplace sexual harassment.
The first is "quid pro quo" which generally means that type of
harassment where a person is promised better employment conditions
such as a promotion or a desired transfer or, in the alternative, is
threatened with lesser conditions such as a demotion or termination
if the person refuses sexual overtures from a supervisor or some other
person in the management structure of the employer. The second type
of sexual harassment is a "hostile environment." A hostile environment
is created by a pervasive sexually oriented work/educational
atmosphere. For example, disparagement related to one's sex.
unwelcome sexual flirtations, sexually offensive jokes or comments,
and sexually offensive material displayed in the workplace can create
a sexually hostile environment. A sexually hostile environment will
exist if the type of conduct described above has the purpose or effect
oi' unreasonably interfering with an individual's work performance
or academic or professional performance or creating an intimidating,
hostile or offensive working or educational environment.
Edison State College is also equally opposed to willful and
intentional bad faith claims of discrimination or harassment. Bad faith
claims are those that are known or should be known by the alleging
employee'student to be false. The College takes this strong stand
because such claims often affect the future employment and important
family relationships of. not only the claimant, but also the person
against whom the claim is made.
If an employee or student becomes aware of any behavior that
may constitute discrimination or harassment, it is the responsibility of
that person to report such conduct.
1. Employees should notify their immediate supervisor,
the Associate Vice President of Human Resources or the
Executive Vice President.
2. Students should notify cither the Dean for Student Services
or the Associate Vice President of Human Resources.
Any report of alleged discrimination or harassment will be
promptly and fully investigated by the individual contacted above or his
or her designee. Appropriate disciplinary action will be taken against
any employee, student or applicant who is determined to have violated
this policy against discrimination or harassment or against anyone who
knowingly files false claims of discrimination or harassment. Based on
the seriousness of the offense, disciplinary action may include a verbal
58
or written reprimand, suspension, or termination. Certain disciplinary
actions, as determined by the President, may require action by the
District Board of Trustees, depending upon the nature of the offense
and the resulting severity of the action to be taken. In such cases, the
District President will recommend appropriate action to the District
Board of Trustees following the completion of the investigation and the
communication of the District President's position to the individuals
involved. Claims of discrimination or harassment made against a
student may be referred to the student disciplinary committee. Results
of the hearing may lead to suspension or expulsion.
Retaliatory action against anyone filing a valid complaint of
any type of discrimination or harassment will not be tolerated. The
individual investigating such reports or claims on behalf of the
College, « ith the District President's full support, will make all efforts
necessary to safeguard against any retaliation against any individual
involved in the discrimination or harassment claim and any witnesses
interviewed during the investigatory process.
This policy is intended to reflect applicable laws regarding
discrimination and harassment, as such laws may from time to time be
staled or clarified, and to provide no greater or lesser protection than
the laws provide. This policy is to be interpreted and applied with that
understanding.

Description of Health Risks
Alcohol. Alcohol consumption causes a number of changes
in behavior and physiology. Even low doses significantly impair
judgment, coordination, and abstract mental functioning. Statistics
show that alcohol use is involved in a majority of violent behaviors
on college campuses, including acquaintance rape, vandalism, fights,
and incidents of drinking and driving. Continued abuse may lead to
dependency, which often causes permanent damage to vital organs and
deterioration of a healthy lifestyle.
Cannibis (Marijuana. Hashish). The use of marijuana may impair
or reduce short-term memory and comprehension, alter sense of time,
and reduce coordination and energy level. Users often have a lowered
immune system and an increased risk of lung cancer. The active
ingredient in marijuana, THC, is stored in the fatty tissues of the brain
and reproductive system for a minimum of 28 to 30 days.
Hallucinogens. Lysergic acid (LSD), mescaline, and psilocybin
cause illusions and hallucinations. The user may experience panic,
confusion, suspicion, anxiety, and loss of control. Delayed effects, or
flashbacks, can occur even when use has ceased. Phencyclidine (PCP)
affects the section of the brain that controls the intellect and keeps
instincts in check. Because the drug blocks pain receptors, violent PCP
episodes may result in self-inflicted injuries.
Cocaine Crack. Cocaine users often have a stuffy, runny nose
and may have a perforated nasal septum. The immediate effects of
cocaine use include dilated pupils and elevated blood pressure heart
rate, respiratory rate, and body temperature, followed by depression.
Crack, or freebase rock cocaine, is extremely addictive and can cause
59
delirium, hallucinations, blurred vision, severe chest pain, muscle
spasms, convulsions, and even death.
Amphetamines. Amphetamines can cause a rapid or irregular
heartbeat, tremors, loss of coordination, collapse, and death. Heavy
users are prone to irrational acts.
Heroin. Heroin is an opiate drug that causes the body to have
diminished pain reactions. The use of heroin can result in coma or
death due to a reduction in the heart rate.
Legal Sanctions
You should be aware that State of Florida statutes provide that it
is "unlawful for any person to sell, purchase, manufacture, or deliver,
or to possess with the intent to sell, purchase, manufacture, or deliver,
a controlled substance in, on, or within 200 feet of the real property
comprising a public college or other postsecondary educational
institution." Legal action will be taken for violation of these statutes and
policies, as appropriate. Any person who violates this paragraph with
respect to a controlled substance named or described in s.893.03( 1 )(a).
(l)(b). (l)(d). (2)(a), or (2)(b) commits a felony of the first degree
punishable as provided in s.775.082, s.775.083., or s.775.084 and
shall not be eligible for parole or release under the Control Release
Authority or statutory gain time.
State law prohibits the possession of alcoholic beverages by
persons under age 2 1 . punishable for the first offense by a definite term
of imprisonment not exceeding 60 days and/or a $500 fine, and for a
subsequent offense by a definite term of imprisonment not exceeding
one year and a fine of $1 ,000. It is similarly prohibited and punishable
to distribute alcohol to minors.
State law makes it a crime for any person to possess or distribute
illicit drugs (controlled substances as described in Section 893.03.
Florida Statutes) under Section 893.13, Florida Statutes. Law provides
certain limited exceptions. The crimes range from second degree
misdemeanors (up to 60 days imprisonment and up to a $500 fine) to
first degree felonies (up to 30 years imprisonment and up to $10,000
tine).
Trafficking (distributing specified large quantities of various
controlled substances under Section 893.03. Florida Status) under
Section 893.135, Florida Statute is punishable, depending on the
particular illicit drug and quantity involved, by a minimum term
of imprisonment of 3 to 25 calendar years and a fine of $25,000 to
$500,000.
Federal trafficking penalties for first offenses, depending upon the
illicit drug involved, range from not more than one year imprisonment
and a fine of not more than $100,000 for an individual to 40 years to life
imprisonment and a fine of not more than $200,000 for an individual
to not less than life imprisonment and a fine of not more than 8 million
dollars for an individual.
The College requires that any employee who is convicted of any
offense relating to the sale, purchase, delivery, use, manufacturing
or distribution of illegal drugs or controlled substances on campus,
or while attending a College-sponsored event or conducting College
business to report such conviction to the Human Resources Office,

American Disabilities Act (ADA)
Policy
It is the policy of Edison State College that discrimination against
qualified individuals with disabilities is prohibited. Pursuant to Titles
I and II of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990 and
Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, the College provides
equal employment and educational opportunities and reasonable
accommodation for qualified individuals with disabilities.
Policy Guidelines
The College reaffirms the principle of Equal Access/Equal
Opportunity regardless of race, creed, color, national origin, religion,
sex, age, marital status, and disability. The equal opportunity principle
applies to otherwise qualified persons with disabilities with regard to
employment, the deliver}' of educational programs and services and all
other appropriate areas in which the College is involved.
The College assumes the Department of Labor's definition
of an individual with a disability is "one who (1) has a physical or
mental impairment which substantially limits one or more of such
person's major life activities; (2) has a record of such impairment;
or (3) is regarded as having such an impairment." Edison State
College understands that it must provide reasonable accommodation
to the known physical or mental limitations of a qualified applicant,
employee, and or student with a disability, unless such accommodation
would impose an undue hardship on the College.
The College has designated the Associate Vice President of Human
Resources as the ADA Coordinator for applicants, employees and
61
students. The Coordinator will oversee and coordinate the College's
efforts to comply with and carry out its responsibilities pertaining
to the Act and serve as the contact person for all ADA information,
resource policies, procedures and concerns.

STUDENT LIFE
Student Life
• Student Activities
• How to Organize a Club at Edison State
• Student Participation in Decision Making
• Student Government Association and Student Representation
• Student Organizations
Student life is considered an important facet of the Edison State
College experience. In keeping with this philosophy, student activities
Staff work to provide a variety of cultural and recreational opportunities
that interest the general student population. All programs arc funded
by student-generated fees.
Student Activities
The Office of Student Life sponsors various activities and
e\ ents on a weekly and monthly basis at Edison State College. These
activities contribute to the academic, social and cultural development
of our students, providing a more enjoyable and multifaccted campus
experience. To find more information on student activities and
programs, see Edison State's online calendar, the Portal calendar page,
or come by S-101 or 102 to pick up a monthly Student Life calendar.
Student Participation in Decision Making
Edison State College promotes student participation in the
decision-making process of the College through a number of
mechanisms. These include but are not limited to representation on
the Curriculum Committee, student surveys, search committees, AS
Program Committees, student focus groups. Student Government
Association (SGA) and various clubs and organizations.
Student Organizations
Club activities at Edison State College provide a variety of
opportunities for students to participate in the college community
outside the classroom. For more information, contact the Student Life
Office on the respective campus.
How to Organize a Club at Edison State
Students arc encouraged to join clubs and to organize associations
at Edison State for educational, political, social, religious or cultural
purposes, as long as they are in keeping with the philosophy and
objectives of the College. The College procedure for organizing a
campus club is as follows:
1. Secure a petition for organization from the Student Life
Specialist.
2. Submit, to the Student Life Specialist, the completed petition,
which should include a list of prospective members, a
constitution and by-laws, a sponsor and any other information
that may be relevant according to the College Catalog.
3. Following approval by the SGA and Student Life, the Student
Life Specialist will inform the new club of its status and offer
support as the club develops.
Student Government Association and
Student Representation
The Student Government Association (SGA) is the student's voice at
Edison State College. There is a Student Government Association on
each of the three campuses. The SGA serves:
1 . To provide a means whereby members of the student body
may express themselves.
2. To provide leadership in coordination of activities of the
student body for the benefit of the entire College.
3. To act as a service organization for Edison State College.
The SGA is made up of club-appointed Representatives and elected
Senators, who coordinate events, service projects and follow through on
student issues. Representatives confer with their advisor on matters of
student interest and concern and promote the general welfare of the student
body. All qualified students, including upper-level students, are invited to
participate in SGA by attending meetings and running for office. Students
are free, individually and collectively, to express their views on issues of
College policy and on matters of general interest to the student body. The
Student Government Association provides a means for participation in
the formulation and application of College policy affecting academic and
student affairs with the assistance of the SGA Advisor and the Director of
Student Life. Proposals for changes in policy, regulations and procedures
that affect the student body as a whole are to be directed through the SGA
and its advisor or the Director of Student Life.
The right of assembly for students is recognized, providing
that student gatherings do not disrupt or interfere with the orderly
educational operation of the institution. Such assembly must be in
compliance with Florida statutes and College policies and procedures.
Student Identification
Student ID cards are available to all students. Students should
carry their ID card with them at all times. The photo ID card is
required in the Learning Resource Center and in the various academic
computer laboratories. Photo identification cards are also required
for student verification at the admissions and registration counters, at
the Assessment and Testing Center prior to testing, and when selling
textbooks back to the bookstore. In addition, the student ID card may
qualify students to discounts in area theaters and businesses.
63
EFFECTIVE CATALOG POLICY
The College Catalog is the official document that describes the
policies, academic programs and requirements for students attending
Edison State. Students are responsible for knowing and adhering to
the policies and requirements that affect them. A student's governing
catalog is the Edison State catalog in effect at the time of the student's
initial enrollment in credit courses. An Edison State catalog is valid for
five academic years provided the student is continuously enrolled. A
student may choose to meet the graduation requirements specified in
either the catalog in effect at the time of initial enrollment or at the time
of graduation. Graduation requirements refer to the specific combination
of general education courses, required core courses, elective courses, and
any other completion requirements such as passing scores on exams or
completion of capstone projects. If the prerequisite requirements for any
course change since the student's time on initial enrollment, the student
must meet the prerequisites in effect during the term that the student
registers for the course.
A student whose enrollment was interrupted for more than one
year must meet the graduation requirements of the catalog in effect at
the time of readmission or at the time of graduation. Students entering
limited-access programs, such as Nursing, must meet the graduation
requirements of the catalog in effect at the time of entry into the
limited-access program. Exceptions to the effective catalog policy may
be necessary if degree requirements change as a result of changes in
statute, accreditation requirements, or requirements of other regulatory
agencies to which Edison State College is subject.
Although Edison State faculty, staff and administrators assist
students in meeting the requirements for a degree or certificate, it is
ultimately the student's responsibility to meet those requirements.
Edison State does not award a degree or certificate until all requirements
and obligations have been met. Questions regarding application of this
rule can be directed to the Office of the Registrar.
Class Attendance
Students arc expected to attend all class periods of the courses
for which they are registered. Absence from several meetings of
a course may result in a lower grade, depending on the professor's
grading policy. The determination of what constitutes excessive
absence in any course rests with the professor conducting that course.
Attendance requirements for a given course are to be found in the
course syllabus.
Only those persons enrolled in a class, or those persons who
have authorization to be in attendance for a particular class, will
be permitted to attend the class. Authorized persons include: those
individuals who have enrolled and paid for the class, those persons in
attendance to assist students identified by the Office of Students with
Disabilities, and guest speakers. If an unauthorized visitor refuses to
leave a classroom or laboratory, assistance should be sought from the
department chair, dean's office, and or Public Safety.
Class Cancellations
Edison State attempts to honor its commitment to provide the
classes scheduled for a given term. However, at times, usually due to low
enrollment, it may be necessary to cancel a class. In such cases every effort
will be made to find an appropriate alternate class for the student.
Religious Observance
Per Section 1006.53, Florida Statutes, the Edison State College
policy on observance of religious holy days provides that students
shall, upon notifying their instructor, be excused from class to
observe religious holy days of their faith. The student will be held
responsible for any material covered during the excused absence, but
will be permitted a reasonable amount of time to complete any work
missed. Students who feel this policy has been improperly applied may
have their grievance addressed through the general academic appeals
process.
Common Course Syllabus
The common course syllabus provides students with information
such as the description of the course, prerequisites, the major topics to
be covered in the course, and the skills to be mastered as a result of
taking the course. This information is the same for all sections of the
course.
The common course syllabus also provides a detailed description
of the particular section of the course that a student is enrolled in during
a particular semester, and includes such information as schedule of
class meetings and assignments, attendance policies, course materials,
and scheduled test dates. Students can access generic course syllabi
from the Edison State College Web site. Looking at common course
syllabi before enrolling in courses each semester can be helpful because
they provide more detailed information than a course description
about what a course requires. Common course syllabi can be found
at www.edison.edu. Click on the District Administration link on the
left, then click on the Academic Affairs link, then click on the Course
Descriptions and Outlines folder link. Common course syllabi arc
arranged alphabetically by subject area.
Final Examinations
The final examination schedule is published online at www.
edison.edu. It is the student's responsibility to know when and where
the final examination is scheduled.
64 :_,
STANDARDS OF ACADEMIC PROGRESS
The purpose of maintaining Standards of Academic Progress
(SOAP) is to assist Edison State College in identifying and providing
help to students who are having academic difficulties. The intent
of SOAP is to inform students that they are not making appropriate
academic progress. Students are required to meet with an Academic
Ad\ ising Specialist to discuss ways of improving their academic
status.
To complete degree and certificate program requirements,
students are required to maintain a minimum cumulative grade point
average (GPA) of "C" (2.0 on a 4.0 scale) or better. The Director of
Counseling Services sends written notification to each student placed
on Academic Suspension and or Academic Dismissal.
1. GOOD ACADEMIC STANDING
Students are considered in good academic standing if they
maintain a 2.0 or higher cumulative GPA and earn credit in
greater that 50 per cent of the total credits attempted.
2. ACADEMIC WARNING
Students are considered on academic warning if they have
attempted 12 credit hours or less with a cumulative GPA
less than 2.0 or have earned credit in 50 per cent or less of
total credits attempted. These students should meet with an
Academic Advising Specialists prior to future registration.
Academic warning limits a student to (12) credits in fall,
spring and summer.
3. ACADEMIC PROBATION
Students whose cumulative GPA is below 2.0 are placed on
academic probation. These students are required to meet
with an Academic Advising Specialists to determine the best
strategies to improve their academic progress. Academic
Probation limits a student to nine (°) credits in the fall, spring
and summer semesters. Students on Academic Probation arc
placed on suspension if they fail to earn a 2.0 term GPA in the
following semester. Students could jeopardize their financial
aid eligibility, scholarship or veteran's benefits.
5. PROBATION AFTER ACADEMIC SUSPENSION
Students who reenter Edison State following academic
suspension are required to work closely with an Academic
Advising Specialist to develop an appropriate plan to
improve their academic record. Such measures could be, but
are not limited to. learning contracts. College Success SLS
1101. SOAR work shops, and or academic progress reports.
Probation after Academic Suspension limits a student to
nine 9 credits in the fall, spring and full summer semesters
and limits a student to three 3 credits in mini A and mini B
semesters. Students who fail to maintain or improve their
current cumulative GPA and fail to achieve a 2.0 GPA in their
most recent semester arc dismissed for one full academic
year.
6. ACADEMIC DISMISSAL
Students who have been on probation after academic
suspension and have failed to achieve a 2.0 term GPA are
dismissed for one full academic year. Students may petition
their dismissal to continue their enrollment by completing
an academic petition form obtained from the Advising
Office or Edison State College website wAvw.edison.edu
(Refer to the Petitions in the Student Records section for
more information). Students approved for continuation of
enrollment through petition will be placed on Probation
after Dismissal status. Students whose petitions are denied
are dismissed for one full academic year. At the end of the
dismissal period, the student must petition for readmission.
Students who reenter Edison State College following
academic dismissal arc required to work closely with an
Academic Specialist to develop an appropriate plan to
improve their academic record. Such measures could be. but

Maximum Course Attempts
In accordance with State Board of Education Rule 6A-14.0301,
students may attempt the same course a maximum of three times at
Edison State. Enrollment in a course beyond the last day to drop with
a refund counts as an attempt for the purposes of this rule. Upon the
third attempt, the student is not permitted to withdraw from the course
and will receive a grade for the course. Course withdrawals and earned
grades count toward the maximum attempts.
Multiple Attempt Course Surcharge
Florida Statute requires that any student enrolled more than two
times in the same state-funded undergraduate course, including college
preparatory courses, be assessed an additional fee per credit hour.
Students are assessed the additional fee on the third and subsequent
attempt. Any coursework taken prior to the Fall 1997 semester does
not count as an attempt when determining course attempts. Only
coursework repeated at Edison State count in attempts. Transfer
coursework does not count in the repeat calculation.
Florida Statute also provides a one-time exception to the surcharge
based on extenuating circumstances or financial hardship. (Please see
Petitions in the Student Records section for more information.)
Course Withdrawal Policy
A student can withdraw without academic penalty from any
course in a term by the mid-point of that term. Withdrawals after that
date may be granted only through established institutional procedures.
The College Calendar provides information on important dates for
each semester, such as the last day to withdraw from courses without
a penalty.
In order to withdraw from a course or courses, the student must
complete a request to withdraw from a course. This request can be
secured in the Counseling Center or Registrar's Office and be turned
in at the Registrar's Office.
Students who officially withdraw from a class or classes any time
prior to the date listed in the College Calendar will receive a grade of
"W." A student will be limited to two withdrawals per course. Upon the
third attempt, the student will not be permitted to withdraw, and will
receive a grade for that course.
Incomplete Grade Policy
A grade of "I" is given only when the student has successfully
completed most of the course in question and. in the judgment of the
professor, is able to make up any deficit within the assigned time frame.
A student who receives an "I" must make up the deficiency and have
the change of grade recorded in the Office of the Registrar no later
than last day to remove incomplete grades as published in the College
Catalog. After that, the grade defaults to an "F." The responsibility for
making the necessary arrangements with a professor for the removal
of an "I" rests with the student. A student may not register for a class
in which they have an "I" grade. An incomplete grade may delay
graduation if requirements have not been met by the end of the term.
If a professor awarding an "I" is not going to be available the
following term, it is the responsibility of the professor awarding an
"I" to make arrangements for the student to deliver the necessary
completed coursework to a fellow faculty member or the professor's
supervisor for a change of grade.
In such a case, it is the professor's responsibility to inform the
faculty member or supervisor and the student, in writing, what needs
to be completed in order for the "I" to be changed. The professor
should provide a copy of the student's grades to date, and describe the
student's remaining work and final grading procedure.
In extreme cases where circumstances prevent a professor from
assigning a grade, final responsibility for the grade change rests with
the supervisor.
Grade Corrections
The responsibility for the evaluation of student coursework and
the assignment of final grades rests with the professor who has been
assigned to teach that course. A student who believes that an error
was made in the assignment of their final grade must contact his or
her professor by the 28th calendar day after the start of classes in the
following semester. For example, the student must request the review
of a grade that was assigned in the Fall Semester by the 28th calendar
day after the start of Spring classes.
The professor who assigned the final grade must initiate a
Change of Grade. The Change of Grade form must be approved by
the appropriate academic dean and forwarded to the Office of the
Registrar.
As a matter of practice, a grade is corrected only in the instance
where an error was made in the recording of a grade. Under no
circumstances will an academic dean change a student's grade. In
rare cases under compelling extenuating circumstances, an academic
dean may ask a professor to consider changing a grade if it is deemed
appropriate to do so.
During the semester professors will communicate directly
with those students who arc doing unsatisfactory work. Students
with unsatisfactory performance are encouraged to meet with their
professors with a view toward improving their work.
66 -
Grade Forgiveness Policy
The Grade Forgiveness Policy permits students to repeat a course
in an attempt to improve a grade of "D" or "F". A student will be
limited to two repeats per course, or a total of three attempts. Upon
the third attempt, the student is not permitted to withdraw from the
course and the grade assigned is the final grade for the eourse. Course
withdrawals and earned grades eount toward the maximum attempts.
Grade forgiveness is automatic, beginning Summer B, 1995,
for all students who have repeated courses at Edison State College
Students must complete a Grade Forgiveness Form only if BOTH the
original and the forgiven grades were awarded in terms or semesters
previous to Summer B 1995. or if both courses were transferred to
Edison State from other institutions.
Students should be aware that some colleges or universities may
not accept the grade of a repeated course, or may compute grade point
averages incorporating the grade originally assigned.
Students receiving financial aid of any type are cautioned to
check with the Financial Aid Office to ensure that the repeated courses
will count toward their financial aid award.
Only the last grade earned in a repeated course will be computed
into the grade point average at Edison State, provided that the last
assigned grade is not a "W" or an "X" (Audit). However, all grades
will appear on the transcript.
Students may not repeat a course to improve a grade point average
after the awarding of the Associate degree.
This policy applies to courses that are repeated for grade
forgiveness purposes. It does not apply to courses designated as
repeatable.
Student requests for a change of grade to a "W" must be
submitted through a petition for Exception to Registration Policies and
Procedures.
67
OTHER ACADEMIC POLICIES
Dean's List
At the conclusion of the Fall and Spring semesters only, the
Office of the Registrar will generate a list of students completing 12
or more credits whose grade point average is 3.5 or above, and who
did not receive any grade below a "C". The list is published after the
period allowed for students to make up "Incompletes." The Dean's
List will be posted on each campus, and each student on this list will
receive a letter noting the accomplishment, signed by the appropriate
academic officer for each campus. A notation of this accomplishment
will be made on the transcript of each student so honored. Please note:
College Preparatory Courses and course beginning with the prefixes
EAP, PEL, PEM, PEN. and SLS are not considered in calculating
Dean's List eligibility.
Latin Honors Graduation Distinction for
Baccalaureate Students
Baccalaureate students with a record of academic achievement
may be considered for Latin honors upon graduation. To graduate with
a Latin honors distinction, baccalaureate degree candidates must have
completed a minimum of 39 credit hours of upper division graded
courscwork at Edison State College and must have earned an overall
grade point average (GPA) of 3.50 or higher. Latin honors designations
are conferred according to following scale and are noted on a student's
official academic transcripts and diploma:
Cum Laude (with honors): an overall GPA of 3.50, but below 3.70
Magna Cum Laude (with high honors): an overall GPA of 3.70,
but below 3.90
Summa Cum Laude (with highest honors): an overall GPA of 3.90
or higher
When determining Latin honors for graduation, the GPA is not
rounded up (e.g., 3.49 is not rounded up to 3.50 for graduation w ith an
honors designation).
Recognition of Latin Honors at
Commencement:
Candidates who have accumulated the minimum Latin honors
CiPA requirements, prior to the term of graduation, will be recognized
at the commencement ceremony and will be provided with gold
honors cords. Candidates who will become eligible for honors after
the current term's grades are recorded will not be recognized at the
commencement ceremony, but will have the honors designation posted
on their official academic transcripts and diploma.
Baccalaureate Regalia:
Candidates for the baccalaureate degree will dress in the
traditional black gown. Gold embossed diploma covers will be
presented to baccalaureate graduates. Tassels for placement on the
traditional graduation cap will represent the color associated with
the baccalaureate discipline. The colors associated with the different
disciplines are as follows:
Business Drab
Education Light Blue
Nursing Apricot
Public Administration Peacock Blue
Science Golden Yellow
Faculty Office Hours
Hull-time professors are required to schedule a minimum of
10 hours per week of office hours, during which time they will be
physically present on campus and available to assist students. The
scheduling of these office hours is subject to the approval of the
professor's supervisor but should ideally be distributed over the five
working days each week. Office hours will be posted on or near faculty
office doors. Additional office hours beyond the required 1 0 hours may
be scheduled, and students may also be seen by appointment. Faculty
teaching online courses have the same requirements for holding office
hours, but may hold a portion of their office hours online.
Part-time professors are required each semester to make
themselves available for student consultation before or after class.
They may also make themselves available by appointment, phone,
voice mail, or e-mail. Availability to students should be appropriately
noted in the class syllabus.
Individualized Study
Individualized Study leads to the completion of a college course
and the receipt of academic credit. The content of the learning
experience is completed under the direction of a professor assigned
to work with the student independently of the normal class schedule.
While Edison State College recognizes the legitimate need for such
learning experiences, its policy is to keep this practice to a minimum.
Individualized Study may be used to complete required courses when
extenuating circumstances exist as defined by the academic dean.
Approval must be obtained before the student is allowed to take the
course.
Individualized Study courses are permitted for the following
circumstances:
1 . A regularly scheduled course is canceled due to insufficient
enrollment and no alternate course can be taken to meet the
student's educational goals for that semester.
2. A student is unable to complete a needed regularly offered
class due to a documented medical or learning disability, or
unique work schedule. Appropriate documentation must be
provided by the student.
3. A student is in his/her last semester and a course required for
graduation is not being offered and an appropriate substitute
is unavailable.
The request form for Individualized Study is obtained at the
academic dean's office, or at Edison State's Web page wwvv.edison.
edu. Click on the District Administration link on the left, then click on
the Academic Affairs link, then click the Forms link, and click on the
Word Format link. The Individualized Study form will be on the list of
forms available for download. The Individualized Study form must be
completed and submitted to the academic dean prior to the end of the
drop/add period for the given semester. Once the form is approved, the
student may register for the class. It is the professor's responsibility to
prepare the syllabus for each Individualized Study.
The standard college grading system applies to all Individualized
Study. Grades earned through Individualized Study have the same
status as those earned through regular class attendance.
Word-Processing or Typing Policy
Students are expected to type or word-process papers presented
in courses taken for credit. Edison State's basic composition course,
ENC 1101, requires students to demonstrate competence in the basic
use of computers, including word processing. The word processing
of papers is regarded as the norm and is considered good practice
68 w
for students transferring to upper-division colleges and universities.
Students who cannot type are urged to enroll in a keyboarding class,
or to seek assistance through various options available in Academic-
Support Programs.
Student Review of Instruction and Course
Evaluations
In order to improve the teaching learning process, further course
and program development, and encourage faculty professional
development, it is necessary to gather information regarding
instructional practices and procedures. Among relevant kinds of
information is the student's opinion regarding classes he/she is taking.
Student Review of Instruction and Course Evaluation forms are
distributed after mid-term examinations. The professor arranges for
a student in the class to administer the survey and is not to be present
while the survey is completed. Written comments regarding any aspect
of instruction in the survey are encouraged. Students are encouraged
to be as candid and as accurate as possible. Written comments should
focus on elements that the student thinks can be improved, or on
elements that were particularly effective or satisfying so that these may
be retained.
The person administering the survey should remain in the room
for questions, collect the survey and materials, seal responses in the
envelope pro\ ided. and return the envelope to the designated office.
The survey and the envelope should be checked to verify the semester,
year, course number, section and professor's name. For those enrolled
in distance learning, the survey is given to the student by the test
proctor when the student takes the last proctored exam of the semester.
Copies of these directions may be obtained from any instructional
administrator's office. Class averages, other survey results, and
comments are reviewed by the appropriate instructional supervisor.
Surveys will be forwarded to the professor after the term is
completed so the professor may benefit from students' opinions
reuardinu instruction.
Student Surveys
Edison State College will periodically distribute surveys to
students in order to obtain information useful in evaluating education
programs, student services and many other aspects of the College
and its mission. These surveys may be sent by mail, administered
over the phone, administered by a link to a Web site sent by e-mail.
or administered in the classroom. They may be administered to a
cross-section of students, to graduates of particular programs or
to students enrolled for a short time. Results of student surveys are
shared with administrators, faculty, the Board of Trustees and with
students. Findings are reported as summaries of all responses, without
identifying any particular student. The information is used to identify
w ays to improve programs and sen ices, and to plan future activities.
Student participation in surveys ensures that the information gathered
prov ides an accurate basis for decision-making.
Textbook Selection Process
It is the practice of Edison State College to encourage selection of
the same textbooks for all sections of a particular course. This ensures
some consistency in the content covered in each course section. The
College anticipates that, except in unusual circumstances, course
materials will be adopted for at least one vcar. Committees will meet
each year to review materials currently in use and to make decisions
regarding the continued use of course textbooks and materials or the
adoption of new materials.
Foreign Language Requirement
State Board of Education Rule 6A-10.02412 stipulates that all
undergraduate students who admit to a Florida public university
must have earned two credits of sequential foreign language at a
secondary level (high school) or the equivalent of such instruction
at the post secondary level (2 semesters). The equivalent number of
college credits in American Sign Language may substitute for the
foreign language admission requirement. In certain cases students
may be admitted without the completion of this requirement but must
satisfy the foreign language requirement prior to graduation from
the university. This requirement does not apply to students who have
already earned a baccalaureate degree or those students who entered
a state university in Florida prior to Fall 1987. (NOTE: some majors
may have a foreign language graduation requirement in addition to
admission requirement.) Please consult with the Coordinator of
Counseling Services or an Academic Advising Specialist about the
foreign language requirements.
Edison State College does not require completion of foreign
language for admission into its baccalaureate degree programs.
Students much have completed Florida's foreign language requirement
prior to the completion of a bachelor's degree. Students may beet this
competency in two ways:
a. successful completion of two years of a single foreign
language while in high school (official high school transcripts
must be submitted to the College registrar), or
b. successful completion of two semesters ( minimum of 6 credit
hours) of a single foreign language in a college (or through
corresponding College Level Examination Program CLEP
exams). Edison State College may determine standards for
review of non-traditional foreign language competence for
languages not available through CLEP (in languages other
than French. German and Spanish).
Lifelong Learning Surcharge
Florida Statute requires that students who enroll in courses that
were taken previously and passed with a grade of "C" or higher, be
charged a Lifelong Learning continuous enrollment surcharge. Edison
State College bills the new course at the out-of-state tuition rate. This
rule applies even if the original course was transferred to Edison State
College from an out-of-state school.

Credit by Assessment of Prior Learning
Experience (PLE)
Students may seek credit for courses required within their degree
program, based on prior learning, where an accelerated mechanism
is not defined through statewide articulations, testing or transfer of
credit. The assessment of learning shall take place through means
consistent with best practices of measuring college-level learning.
Assessment methods may include, but are not limited to, written and
oral examinations, portfolio evaluations, interview assessments, and
project or product evaluations. Students will be required to submit
relevant documentation for review by a faculty member in the
discipline.
The PLE program is designed to assess prior experiences, translate
them into college classroom learning outcomes and consequently
college credits. Learning may result from work experience,
employment-related training programs and seminars, volunteer work,
travel, military service, non-accredited college courses, or intensive
self-directed study.
Assessment of prior learning will ensure student competency
in course and program outcomes. If a student can demonstrate prior
learning from experience, the College will award credit for achievement
rather than have the student repeat the learning sequence. Information
concerning such assessments may be secured from the associate dean
in the discipline area.

Transfer to a State University
EXCESS HOURS ADVISORY
STATEMENT
Section 1009.286, Florida Statutes, establishes an "excess hour"
surcharge for a student seeking a baccalaureate degree at a state
university. It is critical that students, including those entering Florida
colleges, are aware of the potential for additional course fees.
"Excess hours" are defined as hours that go beyond 120% of the
hours required for a baccalaureate degree program. For example, if the
length of the program is 1 20 credit hours, the student may be subject to
an excess hour surcharge for any credits attempted beyond 144 credit
hours (120x 120%).
All students whose educational plan may include earning a
bachelor's degree should make even,' effort to enroll in and successfully
complete those courses that are required for their intended major on
their first attempt. Florida college students intending to transfer to a
state university should identify a major or "transfer program" early and
be advised of admission requirements for that program, including the
approved common prerequisites. Course withdrawals and'or repeats,
as well as enrollment in courses non-essential to the intended major,
may contribute to a potential excess hours surcharge.

PROGRAMS OF STUDY
ASSOCIATE IN ARTS
The Associate in Arts degree in Florida consists of 60 credit hours
in two main parts: the general education core, and bachelor's degree
program prerequisites. The 36-credit hour general education core is
outlined by the Florida Department of Education, and consists of the
following five areas of concentration: communication, mathematics,
social science, humanities, and natural sciences. The remaining 24
credit hours constitute program prerequisites, which should be chosen
by the student based on the entrance requirements of the Edison State
bachelor's degree program, or other college or university bachelor's
degree program, to which the student will transfer.
ASSOCIATE IN ARTS DEGREE
GENERAL EDUCATION PROGRAM
GUIDE
General Education Philosophy
General Education is a program of study that establishes a
foundation for lifelong learning and prepares students to be thoughtful,
informed, global citizens. This program fosters academic excellence,
interdisciplinary dialog, respect for self and others, and social
responsibility.
General Education Core Courses
General Education core courses differ from traditional survey
courses by integrating a breadth of knowledge and skills essential to a
complete education and are the foundation of knowledge upon which
all degrees are built.
General Education Competencies:
General Education courses must meet at least four out of the five
following outcomes. All other courses will meet one or more of these
outcomes:
• Communication (COM): To communicate effectively using
standard English (written or oral).
• Critical Thinking (CT): To demonstrate skills necessary for
analysis, synthesis, and evaluation.
• Technology/Information Management (TIM): To
demonstrate the skills and use the technology necessary to
collect, verify, document, and organize information from a
variety of sources.
• Global Socio-cultural Responsibility (GSR): To identify,
describe, and apply responsibilities, core civic beliefs, and
values present in a diverse society.
• Scientific and Quantitative Reasoning (QR): To identify
and apply mathematical and scientific principles and
methods.
Associate in Arts students must follow the General Education guide
below in planning required courses. This guide complies with Southern
Association of Colleges and Schools' (SACS) Core Requirement 2.7.3
which requires course distribution in humanities/fine arts, social/
behavioral sciences, natural sciences/mathematics; Florida Statute
1007.25(3) which requires the core curriculum to include subject
areas of communication, mathematics, social sciences, humanities and
natural sciences; Rules of the Florida State Board of Education, which
requires six credits of mathematics and twelve credits (four courses)
in which writing is heavily emphasized. Additionally, the mathematics
and writing courses must be passed with a "C" or better.

Total AA Credit Hours: 60
ADDITIONAL OPTIONS
FOR PURSUING A
BACHELOR'S DEGREE
The following tips for transfer students are found on the FACTS
website:
1 . Students should meet with their academic advisor to discuss
degree requirements and transfer options.
2. When applying for admission to a state university, transfer
students who have not yet completed the AA degree will
be evaluated on their high school transcripts as well as
their college coursework. Transfer students without an AA
degree and less than 60 hours must compete with all entering
freshman applicants to the college or university.
3. It is strongly recommended that a student complete the AA
degree prior to transferring. If this is not possible, students
are encouraged to at least complete the 36 hour general
education block at their initial institution.
4. Students who have entered a community college with a
"CPT-eligible" certificate of completion must complete the
AA degree before transferring to a 4-year institution.
5. Students should check with the transfer services office at
the college or university to which they are transferring to
obtain information relating to transfer policies, financial aid
opportunities and other available assistance.
6. Students wishing to receive accommodations for a disability
have a responsibility to inform the disability services center at the
4-year institution. A student with a disability may be eligible for
a special admission review under § 1007.265. Florida Statutes.
A special admission review may apply if documentation can be
provided that failure to meet an admission requirement is related
to the disability and failure does not constitute a fundamental
alteration in the nature of the program. Contact the admissions
director for more information.
7. Please note: several AS degrees transfer to discipline related
BS degrees within the State University system. Please see a
program advisor for more information.
CLAS
All Associate in Arts and Baccalaureate degree-seeking students
need to satisfy the requirement of the CLAS.
Foreign Language
Students seeking admission to the Florida State University System
should have completed two years of foreign language at the high
school level or two courses (six to eight credit hours) at the college
level. Foreign language is a State University System and Edison State
College baccalaureate level graduation requirement.
88

EDISON ONLINE
Students enrolled at Edison State College have the ability to
earn their Associate of Arts degree entirely online through the Edison
Online virtual campus. Classes have been developed in every core
requirement area of the degree program. Many upper division classes
are now offered online as well. Students may apply and register online,
and an interactive chat system with student services and financial aid
will be available.
While Edison Online credit courses are academically equivalent
to on-campus courses, they allow students the opportunity to complete
their coursework off-campus - anytime, anywhere. This gives the
student greater flexibility, but can require more self-discipline.
For additional information please visit: http://online.edison.edu
Online Courses: Students must have regular access to a computer
with a high-speed internet connection. Required materials may be
purchased online through the bookstore. Many professors require
at least one proctored exam. These may be taken at a testing center
at any Edison State College campus or at a remote testing center by
arrangement.
Blended Learning Courses: Blended courses are a combination
of classroom and online instruction. A course may be delivered to the
student using online components such as lectures, labs and streaming
video as well as print-based material. On-campus sessions will be
required for orientation, discussion, labs and/or examinations. Students
must have regular access to a computer with a high-speed internet
connection. Required materials may be purchased online through the
bookstore.
Registering for Edison Online or Blended Courses: The 3-digit
section number identifies whether a course is online or blended. An
Edison Online class will have a campus code of EOL with the number
"7" as the middle digit of the section number. For example. AMH
2010, Section 171 designates an online American History course.
A blended class will have the number "8" as the middle digit of the
section number. For example. AMH 2010. Section 181 designates a
blended version of the same American History course.

CARDIOVASCULAR TECHNOLOGY, AS
The Cardiovascular Technology Program is a two year program
leading to an Associate in Science Degree in Cardiovascular
Technology. The first year of the program is comprised of both general
education and core cardiovascular courses. In the second year students
are concentrating on core didactic, lab and clinical cardiovascular
courses. Clinical instruction occurs at affiliated hospitals throughout
Southwest Florida.
Cardiovascular Technology is an exciting, rewarding and
relatively new field. Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of
death in the United States. Advances in technology and the training of
Cardiovascular Technologists have improved the lives of millions of
patients. This has resulted in a high demand for our graduates. After
graduation you will be in demand as a Cardiovascular Technologist
to work in hospitals and cardiology practices. The demand is high in
Florida and throughout the United States.
The Invasive Cardiovascular Technologist is employed in cardiac
catheterization laboratories (cath labs). Our specialty of invasive
cardiology will prepare the graduate to function in multiple facets in
the cardiac catheterization laboratory. Working with a Cardiologist
they perform sophisticated tests in order to diagnose and quantity
cardiac disorders. These include coronary artery disease, cardiac
valve disease or disorders of the heart's electrical conduction
system. Cardiovascular Technologists perform diagnostic cardiac
catheterization studies on patients including coronary arteriography,
hemodynamic monitoring and analysis, and electrophysiology studies.
They also assist the cardiologist in interventional procedures including
coronary angioplasty, direct infarct angioplasty, rotablator procedures,
intra-coronary stenting. paeemakeCdefibrillator insertion and
radiofrequency ablation. We also offer an elective in echocardiography
for students who would like a basic foundation in this high demand
field.
The Edison State College Cardiovascular Technology Program is
accredited in invasive cardiology by The Commission on Accreditation
of Allied Health Education Programs ( www.caahep.org) based on
the recommendation of the Joint Review Committee on Education in
Cardiovascular Technology.
The Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education
Programs (CAAHEP) is located at 1361 Park Street. Clearwater. FL
33756. phone 727-210-2350 ( www.CAAHEP.org).
Graduates may apply for the invasive cardiology registry
examination offered by Cardiovascular Credentialing International
(CCI) for national certification. Upon successful completion of the
national exam, graduates earn the RCIS (Registered Cardiovascular
Invasive Specialist) credential.
A freshman class begins each Fall. Currently 20 freshmen are
accepted each year. Class size is limited by the number of cardiology-
laboratories in the clinical affiliates needed for the training of students.
Students will have the opportunity to practice cardiac catheterization
procedures in our "on campus"' cath lab prior to entering the clinical
component of the curriculum. The Cardiovascular Technology Program
is a "limited" admission program. The criteria for admission arc-
available through the program office or through the Cardiopulmonary
Professions office at (239)-433- 6918. Information packets with an
application to the program may be downloaded by visiting www.
Edison.edu (go to Academic Programs, click on Academic Program

NURSING RN ADVANCED
PLACEMENT. AS
Program Description
The Associate in Science Degree in Nursing program is designed
to prepare the student to care for the clients he/she serves. Comprised of
general education courses, as well as clinical nursing courses, the ADN
curriculum incorporates classroom instruction, laboratory simulation,
and clinical practice in the care of infants, children, and adults. Local
health facilities are utilized for clinical practice, including community
agencies, acute care institutions, and long-term care facilities.
Graduates of the program possess the knowledge, values, and skills
essential to practice in a dynamic and rapidly changing health care
environment.
The Advanced Placement Programs are available to students
who already hold licensure as an LPN, or certification as a paramedic,
registered respiratory technician (RRT), or cardiovascular technician
(CVT). Both programs are designed for students who seek immediate
employment as general staff nurses, as well as for those who decide to
continue their nursing education by pursuing a baccalaureate degree in
nursing (BSN).
Accreditation
The Edison State College Nursing Program is approved by
the Florida Board of Nursing, 4052 Bald Cypress Way, Bin C02.
Tallahassee 32399-3252, phone (850) 488-0595. The Nursing Program
is also fully accredited by the National League for Nursing Accrediting
Commission (NLNAC). 61 Broadway, 33rd Floor, New York, New
York 10006, phone (800) 669-1656.
Admission
The Basic Nursing Program and the Advanced Placement Nursing
Program are selective admission, limited enrollment programs.
Admission to Edison State College docs not imply acceptance into
either Nursing Program. Following admission to the College, the
student must meet all admission criteria for the Edison State nursing
program he/she wants to attend before applying to that program. Each
program has its own admission packet. Since there often are more
qualified applicants than available spaces, meeting all admission
criteria does not guarantee acceptance into any of the Nursing
Programs.
Final selection of accepted students is made using a point system
that credits cumulative grade point average (minimum 2.75) in the
general education prerequisite courses, number of required general
education courses completed, and standardized preadmission test
score.
Applicants with the highest point totals, who meet all criteria, are
offered admission on a space-available basis. For details regarding the
admission criteria and point system, refer to the Edison State Nursing
application packet and/or access the nursing program web pages at
www.cdison.edu.
Students are admitted to the Basic Nursing Program on the Lee or
Collier campuses twice a year. Applicants are admitted to the Charlotte
Basic Nursing Program once per year. Admission to the Advanced
Placement Program occurs on each campus annually except Lee which
admits twice annually. Contact the Nursing Office on the appropriate
campus for applications, deadline dates, and enrollment limits.
Under normal circumstances, transfers between campuses are
prohibited. Should extenuating circumstances arise which are beyond
the student's control, transfer requests will be considered on a case-by-
case basis by a committee comprised of either the Basic or Advanced
Placement Program Coordinators and the District Director of Nursing.
All requests for transfer must include supporting documentation.
The admission and enrollment process includes completion of
health certificate, AHA CPR certificate, drug screen and criminal
background check.
Transfer Applicants
Applicants who have attended another RN program in the past
year may apply for admission to the Edison State College nursing
programs, provided that they supply a letter of good standing from
the director(s) of previous nursing program(s). The transfer applicant
must meet the same admission criteria as any other nursing applicant.
Students who have been academically dismissed from another
nursing program are not eligible to apply to Edison State's
Nursing Programs.
All nursing coursework taken elsewhere and at Edison State
College must be completed within 3.5 years (from the first nursing
course taken to graduation from Edison State College). Nursing
courses older than one year will not be accepted for transfer.
Transcripts must be evaluated by both the Nursing Director and
the Records Technician at Edison State's Registration Department prior
to acceptance as an Edison State transfer nursing student. In order for
transcripts to be evaluated, complete syllabi from all previously taken
nursing courses must accompany the application. Any transfer nursing
student must complete a minimum of 1 8 credit hours at Edison State
in order to graduate from Edison State's ADN program.

for students seeking a professional career in a law-related field. The
program trains students in many diverse areas of law. Subjects include
legal research and writing, real estate law, criminal law, family law,
wills and trusts, torts, and litigation.

Successful completion of this program qualifies students to sit for
the National Association of Legal Assistants (NALA) Certified Legal
Assistant/Certified Paralegal exam (CLA/CP). The program does not
qualify students to practice law, sit for a state bar exam, nor act as
or represent themselves as lawyers. Paralegals and legal assistants
are advised to acknowledge the American Bar Association definition
of a paralegal or legal assistant as "a person, qualified by education,
training or work experience who is employed or retained by a lawyer,
a law office, corporation, governmental agency or other entity and
who performs specifically delegated substantive legal work for which
a lawyer is responsible."
The Associate in Science degree in Paralegal Studies transfers

CRIME SCENE TECHNOLOGY
CERTIFICATE
The Crime Scene Technology Certificate is designed to prepare
students for employment in fields related to crime scene investigation.
Those who complete the program will be able to locate, preserve,
develop, collect, analyze and present physical evidence relating to the
scene of the crime. Students learn the necessary skills to accurately
map out, collect and log evidence, develop and preserve fingerprints,
write reports, and present courtroom testimony. Typical industry job
titles include Crime Scene Technician or Crime Scene Technologist.
The Crime Scene Technology program consists of a 2X credit
hour college certificate (major code PSVC CRST) and a two year (60
credit hour) associate in science degree (major code AS CRST). The
certificate program is designed to provide technical training and will
transfer directly into the Crime Scene Technology Associate in Science
degree. As many law enforcement agencies require college degrees
prior to employment, students that do not have law enforcement
related experience are strongly encouraged to complete the AS degree
program. Although many crime scene technicians in Southwest
Florida are law enforcement certified, more agencies are beginning
to use civilians in this position. Employment opportunities are greatly
enhanced by prior experience in a law related field. Salary and job
opportunities vary with willingness to relocate.
The core crime scene course schedule is designed for the evening
student. Full time students can complete all coursework for the
certificate program in one year. In addition to class and laboratory
training, upon approval, internship opportunities are available that will
allow the student to experience first- hand the job skills required in the
field of crime scene investigation.
Florida certified law enforcement and/or corrections officers may
qualify for the award of specified courses and elective credit, based on
the successful completion of the state exam. Please see the Program
Advisor or the Criminal Justice Academy Bridge Program for details.

SCHOOL OF EDUCATION
MISSION
Edison State College's School of Education provides a rigorous
learning environment ensuring teacher candidates will achieve their
greatest potential through Principles of Excellence. Building on a
strong pedagogical, ethical and socially conscious foundation that
fosters creativity and innovation, Edison State College's School of
Education produces graduates equipped to contribute to the diverse
community of life-long learners in Southwest Florida.
VISION
Edison State College will mentor reflective practitioners endowed to
educate 21st century learners in a world-class global environment.
PRINCIPLES OF EXCELLENCE
The teacher candidate will...
• Synthesize academic content, pedagogical skills and educational
technology to instinct digital natives.
• Continually explore new methods, best practices and instructional
designs to impact p-12 learning.
• Employ strong written, verbal and non-verbal communication
skills.
• Emulate and foster caring and ethical behavior in order to build
teaching and learning environments that build upon the strengths of
students' diverse cultures and learning styles.
• Collaborate with key stakeholders, such as; administrators,
colleagues, parents and leaders in the local community.
• Engage in reflective practice with an understanding that learning is a
lifelong process.
The School of Education at Edison State College offers pathways for
candidates interested in working in educational settings from birth
to high school. All programs focus on preparing candidates for their
roles as a positive and engaging educational practitioner. It is through
transformational education initiatives that focus on social justice and
practical experiences that teacher candidates will learn to educate in
today's diverse classrooms. The School of Education offers rigorous
and demanding education programs. Setting high expectations and
requiring all teacher candidates meet these expectations, enables
teacher candidates to glean the knowledge and skills needed to be
successful educators. Teacher candidates will graduate from the
School of Education's Elementary Education program certified with
both Reading and ESOL endorsements. The Middle and Secondary
programs offer the minimum state required hours needed for meeting
Reading and ESOL competencies.
Faculty and staff continually strive towards excellence in preparing
candidates to work in diverse environments. Through the School of
Education, teacher candidates will have the ability to build a strong
sense of community and support amongst students and faculty.
Teacher candidates engage in diverse field experiences at the onset
of every program and continue honing their pedagogical skills and
knowledge throughout the program. Teacher candidates arc assessed
on their knowledge, dispositions and performance throughout each of
the education programs.
COOP FIELD EXPERIENCE MODEL
The School of Education prepares individuals to work in diverse
learning environments in the professional field of education. In
accordance with state and national standards, teacher education
candidates at Edison State College arc assessed on their knowledge,
dispositions, and performance. The CoOP model of Field Experience
enhances pre-service teacher education by empowering quality k-12
teachers to mentor teacher candidates through the three phases of field
experience: foundation, practicum, or internship. CoOP mentors play
a vital role in the development and preparation of high quality teacher
candidates.
Edison's innovative model of field experience minimizes disruptions
to the k-12 classroom setting caused by faculty supervisor visitations
and sanctions "teachers as leaders". The School of Education provides
training for teachers interested in mentoring our teacher candidates.
Once teachers have met the CoOP criteria, they will be added to our
database and can request that Edison teacher candidates be placed in
their classroom for any one of the three phases of field experience. The
three state mandated classroom observations, as well as the mentoring
during co-teaching experiences, will be conducted by the "trained" k- 1 2
teachers. Edison faculty in consultation with Coordinator of Assessment
and Student Success and the field experience office will serve as
counselors, resource personnel, and liaisons for teacher candidates and
mentor teachers. It is our goal to support the k-12 mentor teachers, as
well as our teacher candidates through open communication, resource
and information sharing, and curricula alignment. The k-12 teachers
are the experts in their field. Allowing them to share their expertise
and providing a platform for shared best practices benefits the k-12
student, as well as teacher candidates.
In applying to the CoOP, mentors agree to work with teacher candidates
during any of the three field base components: foundations, practicum
or internship hours. Mentors are responsible for (but not limited to)
the following:
• Completing all necessary training (including, but not limited to.
FLDOE Clinical Educator Training, and Edison's Field Experience
Mentor Teacher Training)
• Documentation of teacher candidate with regards to knowledge of
content area, performance, and disposition
• Observation and conferencing with candidate, as required with
Clinical Education Training
• Providing teacher candidates with on-going support, guidance and
strategies to become effective teachers
• Regularly communicating with college faculty and/or field
experience coordinator
Mentor teachers arc expected to be sensitive to the needs and concerns
of teacher candidates while maintaining a positive k-12 co-teaching
learning environment. Persons interested in becoming mentor teachers
should contact Christy Duda at cduda@edison.edu.

CANDIDATE DISPOSITION
ASSESSMENT PROCESS
The School ofEducation prepares individuals to work in diverse learning
environments in the professional field of education. In accordance
with state and national standards, teacher education candidates at
Edison College are assessed on their knowledge, dispositions, and
performance. Know ledge assessment occurs primarily through courses
and is reflected in course grades and the candidate's grade point average
(GPA). The Honda Teacher Competency Exams also demonstrate a
candidate's acquisition of know ledge. Performance is assessed through
the candidate's classroom practice, particularly the student teaching
experiences. Dispositions arc assessed by the disposition assessment
process described herein. The assessment of dispositions takes place
at all times while students are on campus and during student teaching.
According to the National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher
Education (NCATE), "NCATE expects institutions to assess teacher
candidate dispositions based on observable behavior in the classroom.
NCATE does not recommend that attitudes be evaluated." Dispositions
shall be assessed under the premise of educational equity and the belief
that all students can learn.
Prospective teachers must be able to demonstrate that they are
individuals of strong moral character who can make mature decisions.
Teachers are responsible for the education, safety, and well-being
of anyone in their charge. As such, students enrolled in Edison
State College's education programs must adhere to the Principles of
Professional Conduct for the Education Profession in Florida, 6B-
1.006. All teacher education candidates, faculty, staff and academic
advisors will be provided with a copy of the Principles of Professional
Conduct for Florida Educators. Dispositions to be Assessed, and a
Disposition Assessment Form. Furthermore, a signed contract must
be on file for every teacher candidate prior to enrolling in any course
requiring field experience components. Candidates who do not have
such forms on file are subject to appropriate violations of disposition
procedures as stated in this process policy.
This process shall apply to candidates' dispositions as reflected in field
experience and related course work. Candidates will be made aware
that repeated violations of these dispositions will constitute grounds
for a decision regarding separation from the Education programs
of Edison State College. This information will also be published in
appropriate teacher education documents and reinforced throughout
the program.
PROCEDURE FOR ADDRESSING
DISPOSITION PROBLEMS:
The Disposition Assessment Form (Form D-2) may be utilized by all
faculty, staff and classroom teachers to bring a deficiency with regard
to professional conduct to the attention of the Associate Dean and
possibly escalate to the Teacher Education Council of Special Cases
Committee. The C oordinator of Assessment and Student Success will
monitor each candidate's folder to ascertain if a D-2 form has been
issued to the candidates by a faculty member, staff or mentor teacher. If
two D-2 submissions have been submitted, the faculty advisor and or
field placement coordinator will send notice to the Associate Dean of
the School of Education. The Associate Dean will schedule a meeting
with the candidate, the Coordinator of Assessment and Student
Success, the course instructor and/or mentor teacher. The deficiency
observed will be discussed with the individual within 14 days of the
D-2 form being submitted. (If notification of the second D-2 form
falls at the end of a term, the Associate Dean will schedule a meeting
within 14 days after the beginning of the next full term in which the
candidate is enrolled.) If the meeting determines that a dispositional
issue does exist, a list of actions that the candidate agrees to follow will
be prepared in memo form, and both the candidate and Associate Dean
w ill sign the agreed course of action to be taken. A copy of actions will
be placed in the candidate's file. The candidate may also submit an
additional statement to be included in the record.
If a candidate receives a D-2 form for a third separate incident, the
Coordinator of Assessment and Student Success will notify the
Associate Dean w ithin 14 days of the filing. The Associate Dean
will notify the candidate of any future action to be taken. The
decision to submit to the Teacher Education Council of Special Cases
Committee may be warranted and action will be taken according to
the deficiency.
The candidate will be asked to provide any information he/she
wishes regarding the three D-2 forms in writing to the Special Cases
Committee. D-2 forms submitted to the Special Cases Committee
will be reviewed bi- monthly unless the offense or defense warrants
immediate action. The Special Cases Committee shall provide one
of three rulings to the Associate Dean of the School ofEducation:
continue in the program, removal from the program, or not enough
evidence was provided to make a recommendation in which case the
committee may request further information from prior faculty, mentor
teachers, or peers. Within 14 days of receiving the recommendation
from the Special Cases Committee, the Associate Dean of the School
of Education shall affirm or negate the committee's decision on the
case and notify all parties involved including candidate, academic
advisor, department head, mentor teacher, and involved faculty.
The teacher candidate may appeal the affirmed decision to the Vice
President of Academic Affairs within five days of receiving notice of
the committee's decision.
EGREGIOUS VIOLATIONS OF
DISPOSITIONAL STANDARDS
A candidate may be subject to expedited dismissal from the School
ofEducation for an egregious violation of dispositional standard.
Examples of possible egregious violations include, but are not limited
to: engaging in illegal or unethical conduct involving minor children
or conduct which would be grounds for dismissal from a teaching
position, mishandling of private and confidential student information,
and serious violations of Principles of Professional Conduct for the
Education Profession in Florida 68- 1 -006.
