History

Edison Community College celebrates 37 years of service to Southwest Florida this year. Since the first students were
admitted to Edison in the fall of 1962, the college has enrolled more than 150,000 students in credit courses. Associate in
Arts and Associate in Science degrees are offered at Edison as well as one-year certificate programs.

From its first quarters in the old Gwyne Institute Building in downtown Fort Myers, Edison moved to its permanent
135-acre campus in South Lee County in June 1965. Following a master plan designed to provide for growth and future
needs, the Lee County Campus now includes eight permanent structures and the Barbara B. Mann Performing Arts Hall to
meet the needs of students and a growing community.

Edison's Collier County Campus opened in March of 1992. The beautiful campus is located on a 50-acre site near State
Road 951 and Rattlesnake Hammock Road, in east Naples. The Charlotte County Campus opened in 1997. Located on a
wooded site on Airport Road in Punta Gorda, the campus is an excellent addition to the Charlotte area.

Edison receives its funding primarily from the State of Florida. Student fees and federal grants provide approximately
one-third of the college budget, with individual and private grants supplementing the nearly two-thirds provided by state
sources. The Edison Community College Foundation, Inc., provides more than $500,000 per year in aid to Edison students
and programs.

Edison Community College is governed by its District Board of Trustees composed of nine representatives of Charlotte,
Collier, Hendry, Glades and Lee Counties. The members are appointed to four-year terms by the Governor of Florida.
Currently about 450 professional and support staff members provide the full-time instructional and support services for the
more than 14,000 credit and 16,000 non-credit students who participate in Edison courses and programs each year.

Lee County Campus

The Lee County Campus is located on approximately 135 acres between College Parkway and Cypress Lake Drive in
South Lee County. Courses of study leading to Associate in Arts, Associate in Science, or Certificate programs, as well as
non-credit Continuing Education classes are offered at the Lee County Campus. The first permanent location of the college,
the Lee County Campus, was constructed in 1965. The campus is made up of one- and two-story classroom buildings includ-
ing: library; bookstore; cafeteria; student center; auditorium; and specialized laboratories for science, computer science,
nursing, health technologies, and college preparatory classes. The Barbara B. Mann Performing Arts Hall, the Gallery of
Fine Art, and the Kulakowski Observatory are located on the Lee County Campus.

Schedule of Classes is published each semester. The Sched-
ule is available in all Student Services Offices on the college
campuses, and on the Internet at http://www.edison.edu.

Please refer to the academic calendar for registration
dates. Separate registration periods are set for continuing
and returning students, new degree-seeking students and
new non-degree-seeking students. There are several other
important registration dates for drop and add, refunds, and
withdrawal without academic penalty. These dates are also
set in the Academic Calendar. This Calendar is published
in this Catalog and in each Schedule of Classes.

Drop/Add Periods

Drop and add periods begin with each registration
period. The end of drop and add coincides with the last day
for refund. These dates are published in the College Catalog
and in the Schedule of Classes. The policy for the end of
drop and add period is as follows:

Semester ( 1 6 week major term) - The first five weekdays
after classes begin, including the first day of classes.

Summer A and B (7 and 6 week term) - The first three
weekdays after classes begin, including the first day of
classes.

Mimi-Semester (8 week term) - The first three week-
days after classes begin, including the first day of classes.

When a semester and a mini-semester begin on the
same day the drop and add period will end on the day,
as published in the College Catalog.

Late start classes are those which begin after the pub-
lished drop and add dates for the major terms and sub-
terms. The drop and add period for late start classes
which meet on three (3) or more days ends the day

consideration of reasonable substitution in meeting
these requirements.

2. Documentation. Students who have a documented
vision impairment, hearing impairment, dyslexia or
another specific learning disability (as defined in SBE

sonable substitution for admission to a program of
study, or graduation. Such documentation, including
suggestions for accommodations, shall be provided by a
medical doctor, psychologist, or other specialist recog-
nized to treat the specific disability who is licensed or
certified to practice in the State of Florida. College
personnel who determine that a disability heretofore
undocumented may exist shall request that the student

ability in order to provide the most suitable means for
addressing the student's academic needs.

3. Review Process. Students with disabilities wishing to
petition for substitute admission and graduation
requirements should submit academic petition to the

of this rule. Membership on this panel shall include:
District Director, Learning Assistance; Director,
Counseling; Registrar; Director. Student Support
Services, as appropriate, and other academic adminis-
trators responsible for the program or courses to
which admission or other substitution is being sought.

The panel shall make a recommendation for substi-
tution to the appropriate Dean, or Provost.

municated by the appropriate administrator in writing
to the Office of the Registrar. The Office of the Regis-
trar will notify the student of the decision.

5. Any substitution previously granted to a student trans-
ferring into the College by a Florida state post-
secondary institution will be recognized by Edison
Community College.

6. Student Appeal. The student may appeal a denial of
the substitution request(s) or determination of ineligi-
bility to the appropriate Dean, or Provost. If the issue
is not resolved at that level, the student may then
appeal the decision to the Equal Access/Equal Oppor-
tunity (EA/EO) Committee. The EA/EO Committee
shall make its recommendation(s) to the President, who
shall make the final decision.

7. Records. The Dean of Students or Provost shall report
the number of students whose requests for substitution
were granted or denied to the appropriate College
Official charged with reporting this data to the state.

NOTIFICATION OF STUDENT'S RIGHTS
UNDER FAMILY EDUCATIONAL
RIGHTS AND PRIVACY ACT

(Public Law 93-380 Buckley Amendment)

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act
(FERPA) affords students certain rights with respect to
their education records. They are:

1 . The right to inspect and review the student's educadon
record within 45 days of the College receiving a
request for access. Students should submit to the
Registrar, Dean, Department Chairperson, or other
appropriate official, a written request that identifies
the record(s) they wish to inspect. The College official
will arrange for access and notify the student of the
time and place where they may inspect the records. If
the records are not maintained by the College official
to whom the request was submitted, that official will
advise the student of the correct official to whom they
should address the request.

2. The right to request the amendment of the student's
education records that the student believes are inaccu-
rate or misleading. Students should submit to the
College official responsible for the record, a written
request clearly identifying the part of the record they
want changed, and specifying why it is inaccurate or
misleading. The College will notify the student if it
decides not to amend the record as requested by the
student. The College will advise the student of their
right to a hearing regarding the request for amend-
ment. The College will provide additional information
regarding the hearing procedures to the student when
notified of the right to a hearing.

3. The right to consent to disclosures of personally iden-
tifiable informadon contained in the student's educa-
tion record, except to the extent that FERPA authorizes
disclosure without consent. One excepdon that permits

disclosure without consent is the disclosure to school
officials with legitimate educational interests. A school
official is a person employed by the College in an
administrative, supervisory, academic or research, or
support staff position (including law enforcement unit
personnel and health stafQ, a person or company with
whom the College has contracted (such as an attorney,
auditor, or collection agent), a person serving on the
Board of Trustees, or a student serving on an official
committee, such as a disciplinary or grievance com-
mittee, or assisfing another school official in perform-
ing their tasks.

A school official has legitimate educational interests if

the official needs to review an educational record to

fulfill their professional responsibility.

Upon request, the College discloses education records

without consent to officials of another school(s) in

which a student seeks or intends to enroll.

The right to file a complaint with the U.S. Department

of Education concerning alleged failures by the

College to comply with the requirements of FERPA.

Admission Procedures:

Residency Rules/Guidelines

This is a summary of the Florida Community College
Residency Manual. Authority: Florida Statute 240.1201,
Florida Administrative Code 6A-10 and Florida Commu-
nity College Residency Guidelines.

The State Board of Community Colleges and Board of
Regents shall maintain consistent policies and practices for
the classification of students as resident for tuition purposes.

Edi.son Community College admissions procedure
(which is reciprocal among all state colleges and universi-
ties for each student) includes determination of residency
for tuition purposes.

Once a student has been classified by a public institu-
tion, institutions to which they may transfer are not required
to re-evaluate the classification unless inconsistent infor-
mation suggests that an erroneous classification was made
or the student's situation has changed.

Florida residency law includes a basic provision for
12 month legal residency, including physical presence in
Florida, prior to the first day of classes for the term residency
is sought. The following circumstances must be reviewed:

1. Physical presence

2. Intent

3. Dependence/Independence

NOTE: The student who comes to Florida for continuous
full-time enrollment in a public college/university
will NOT normally become a Florida resident for
tuition purposes regardless of the length of time
enrolled. Continuous enrollment implies enrollment
in at least two terms per 12 months period.

Presumptions or Exceptions:

1 . Persons married to legal Florida residents may claim
the Florida residency of the spouse, provided that they
are domiciled in Florida and intend to make Florida
their home;

2. Active duty members of the armed services stationed
in Florida (and spouse/dependent children) or military
personnel not stationed in Florida whose home of record
or state of legal residence certificate, DD Form 2058.
is Florida (and spouse/dependent children);

3. Full-time instructional and administrative personnel
employed by the State public school system, commu-
nity colleges and institutions of higher education (and
spouse/dependent children);

4. Dependent children residing with a legal resident adult
relative, other than the parent, for at least five years.

5. A dependent child whose parents are divorced, sepa-
rated, or otherwise living apart, will be considered a
resident for tuition purposes if either parent is a legal
resident of Florida, regardless of which parent claims
the minor for tax purpo.ses;

6. Persons who were enrolled as Florida residents for
tuition purposes at a Florida in.stitution of higher edu-
cation, but who abandon Florida residency and then

re-enroll in Florida within 12 months of the aban-
donment;

7. Students from Latin America and the Caribbean who
receive scholarships from the federal or state govern-
ment. The student must attend, on a full-time basis, a
Florida institution of higher education.

8. United States citizens living on the Isthmus of Panama,
who have completed 12 consecutive months of college
work at the Florida State University Panama Canal
Branch, and their spouses and dependents.

9. Southern Regional Educational Board's Academic
Common Market graduate students attending Florida's
state universities;

1 0. Full-time employees of state agencies or political sub-
divisions of the state when the student fees are paid by
the state agency or political subdivision for the pur-
pose of job related law enforcement or corrections
training;

1 1 . Qualified beneficiaries under the Florida Pre-Paid
Post- secondary Expense Program per S.240.551(7)(a);

12. McKnight Scholars.

(Documentation appropriate to the exception will be required).

Eligible Non-Citizen Categories

1 . Resident aliens, parolees, asylees, refugees, or other
persons married to U.S. Citizens, and temporary per-
manent residents;

e. K. Visa - Fiance/fiancee, children of U.S. cifizens.

Admission Application

All applicants' residency documentation will be
examined by appropriate Office of the Registrar staff to
determine residency.

Examples of inconsistency:

1 . Out-of-state emergency address;

2. Graduation from an out-of-state high school within
the previous year;

3. Attendance at an out-of-state college, within the pre-
vious year;

4. Employment or other out-of-state activity within the
previous year;

5. Non-U. S. Citizen or non-permanent resident alien;

6. Florida driver's license, Florida vehicle registration or
Florida voter's registration not provided;

Florida voter's registration issued at least 12 months
before first day of classes of term for which enroll-
ment is sought not provided;

8. Residency statement is not completed or is completed

incorrectly.

When an application is inconsistent, the Office of the
Registrar staff will contact the applicant and advise that they
will be classified as non-resident for tuition purposes begin-
ning with the next session until the applicant supplies hard
copy evidence of legal Florida residency as outlined below.

Evidence to be Required

The following hard copy documentation may be requested,
considered, accepted and/or subsequently recorded on a check-
list as evidence of establishing a legal residence in Florida.
At least one of the following documents must be dated at
least 12 months before the first day of classes and presented
before classes begin.

Reclassification

Established procedures will be followed in reclassify-
ing students from non-Florida to Florida residents and for
Florida residents who have subsequently lost their resi-
dency status.

All requests for change of residency and supporting
hard copy documentation will be examined by the Office
of the Registrar. Office of the Registrar staff are authorized
to make prospective residency determinations as of the
term for which applications for reclassification are made.

It is important to understand that living in or attending
school in Florida is not sufficient evidence to establish res-
idency for tuition purposes. Students must show that they
were in Florida to maintain a bona fide domicile.

The following list of hard copy evidence may be
accepted and considered and filed or recorded on a resi-
dency checklist as evidence of establishing legal residence
in Florida. Reclassification of residency must be requested
and documented before the published first day of classes
for the semester in which reclassification is requested.

1. Independent students, if appropriate, obtain parent/
student tax returns, employment records, bank accounts,
etc., and at least one document of legal residency
dated at least 12 months before the term for which
legal residency is sought. (See previous list of accept-
able evidence.)

2. Dependent students, if dependent on a Florida resident
parent/legal guardian, obtain from parent/legal guardian:
a) proof of dependent status and b) at least one docu-
ment of legal residency pertaining to the parent/legal
guardian which is dated 1 2 months before the first day
of classes, (see previous list of acceptable evidence).

3. Students seeking reclassificafion under an exceptional
category, require and file or record hard copy docu-
mentation appropriate to the particular category (e.g.
marriage certificate, military orders, teaching con-
tract, etc.).

STUDENT EXPENSES

Notice: Fees are subject to change if approved by the Florida Legislature.
Students will be invoiced for the fee increases, if applicable.

Student Financial Information/Financial Aid

The staff of the Office of Student Financial Aid pro-
vides financial assistance to qualified students to attend
Edison. They administer the Work Study Program for stu-
dent employment, the federal education grants (PELL and
FSEOG) and numerous other scholarships and loans pro-
vided by individuals, organizations and the Edison Com-
munity College Foundation. Application for all types of
student financial assistance should be made at the Financial
Aid Office on any Edison Campus. Information brochures
and applications are available at all locations.

Financial Information

— Students or parents wishing to make payment by
check should make them payable to Edison Commu-
nity College for the amount of fees. Visa and Master
Card credit cards are also accepted at the Cashier's
Office or through the telephone registration system
"REGGIE".

— Veterans who are eligible to receive monthly educa-
tional benefits should be prepared to meet ALL expenses
since the first checks are often delayed until after a
semester is in session.

— The college reserves the right to withhold students
from classes, final examinations, and graduation unless
fees are paid in full. No grades, degrees, statements of
honorable dismissal, or transcript of credits will be
issued until safisfactory settlement of college fees and
other financial obligations have been met. This includes
loans to students.

— Limited tuition loans are available with a minimum
service charge. Application for such funds must be
made through the Financial Aid Office.

— The cost of books and supplies varies with the pro-
gram of each student.

— The college reserves the right to change its fees at any
time without notice.

Refund Policy

— Refunds of matriculation and tuition fees are made
only if official drop or withdrawal forms are turned in
at the Registrar's Office by the published deadlines
(see calendar), or if you drop via REGGIE (and the
drop is confirmed) by the deadline.

— If the student withdraws from the College because of
administrative action or for the convenience of the
College, except for disciplinary reasons, the student is
entitled to a full refund of matriculation, tuition fees
and special fees.

— If the student is dropped from a class due to cancella-
tion of that class, the student is entitled to a full refund
of matriculation, tuition fees and special fees.

— If the student is withdrawn from a course or courses
for disciplinary reasons, the student is not entitled to a
refund of matriculation, tuition or special fees.

— Refund checks are mailed as soon as possible after the
refund deadline and should be received within 30 days
after the start of classes.

Financial Aid

Students are encouraged to come to the Financial Aid
Office for assistance in planning the financing of their col-
lege education. A variety of resources are available to help
those who without such help, would be unable to attend
college. Assistance is awarded to students enrolled for six
or more credit hours in Fall and Spring sessions on the basis
of financial need, scholastic achievement, and character.
Applications for assistance received after May 1, 1998 will
be considered only if funds are available. In order to remain
eligible for scholarships, work-study, loans and grants, a stu-
dent must successfully meet the requirements of the Stan-
dards of Academic Progress for Financial Aid recipients.

Work Study Programs

Students enrolled for six or more hours in the Fall and
Spring Sessions who meet federal requirements of finan-
cial need, and who are capable of maintaining adequate
grade averages may be employed in part-time jobs to help
meet expenses. These jobs are available on campus. The col-
lege is an equal opportunity employer. Off campus employ-
ment opportunities for community service are also available.

Loans

Edison Community College Loan Fund: The college
makes available a short-term loan fund to enable students
to pay their tuition fees. Apply through the Financial Aid
Office. A small service fee will be charged. The loan bal-
ance is due on a date set by the Financial Aid Office before
registration begins for the next semester.

Federal Family Education Loan: These long-term
loans are made through area banks and financial institutions
with certificafion of eligibility by the Financial Aid Office.

GRANTS

Federal Pell: These grants are provided by the Federal
government to students with financial need. Students enrolled
less than half-time may be eligible for this program.

Federal Supplemental Education Opportunity Grant
(FSEOG): Provided by the federal government to students
with certified financial need.

Florida Student Assistance Grant (FSAG): Awarded
to full-time students with financial need who are Florida
residents.

Standards of Progress for Students
on Financial Aid

Students awarded financial aid must meet the follow-
ing academic standards each academic term:

1. "Good Standing" for purposes of Financial Aid:

For Full-time students — 2.0 GPA for 12 credit

hours — (minimum)

For Part-time students — 2.0 GPA for all credit hours

2. "Not in Good Standing":

Students who receive withdrawals ("W"'s) or audits
("X"'s)

3. Incomplete grades (I's) must be completed to total
12 credit hours with a 2.0 grade point average before
financial aid may be awarded.

4. All students must complete their academic program
within 90 attempted credit hours. Exceptions must be
approved by the Financial Aid Director based on mit-
igating circumstances.

5. If a student does not meet standards of progress for a
session, an appeal must be made by petition to the
Office of Student Financial Aid to be considered for
financial aid for the next session. If approved, the stu-
dent must meet standards of progress for the next ses-
sion. An intervening session of satisfactory work
clears a student for financial aid.

6. A student who has not maintained Standards of Aca-
demic Progress and has registered for a future session
but not paid the fees for that session may:

a) Pay the fees for the session;

b) Officially withdraw from some or all of their
courses with no financial liability.

Student Fees

In the event of financial need, an application for loan
funds may be made to the Financial Aid Office. Student
fees are payable by the date shown on fee schedules.

Veterans Educational Benefits

The Financial Aid Office, Lee County Campus, serves as
the Veterans' Affairs Office for Edison Community College.

If you are a veteran or a dependent of a veteran and are
eligible for educafional benefits, you should:

Contact the Veterans Specialist well in advance of

enrollment to process eligibility forms.

Apply for admission as a degree-seeking student

Submit the Certificafion of Eligibility or a copy or

your DD-214 (separafion paper) to the Veterans
Specialist for cerufication of enrollment. Submit
additional forms if requested for certification to the
Veterans Specialist.

Contact the Veterans Specialist each time you change

course schedule, register for classes each semester,
or change degree program.

All veterans continuing enrollment for a following

term should contact the Veterans Affairs Office
with schedule and fee receipt as soon as possible
before the beginning of the next term.

National Guard Fee Waiver

Recommended National Guard enlistees may be eligi-
ble to receive a fee waiver. Contact your National Guard
Education Officer. Eligibility for the waiver must be
processed by the Veterans Specialist, Financial Aid Office,
Lee County Campus.

Veterans Dependents

Wives, widows, or dependents of deceased or 100%
disabled veterans should contact the Veterans Affairs Office
for the appropriate forms.

Veteran Transfer Students

A transfer student must have a transcript from the pre-
vious college forwarded to Edison Community College
before transferring. The VA must know how many credits
are accepted by the college. The student's certification will
not be processed by the VA office until the transcript is
received and evaluated by Edison. Failure to have the cer-
tification forwarded will delay the veteran's benefit check.

Approved VA Programs

The student must be working toward an approved
degree in order to receive VA benefits. Check with the col-
lege Counseling or Advising Centers to ensure that the
classes you plan to take are correct for the degree selected.
This will avoid the possibility of overpayment for classes
not required for the degree. A student will not be paid
for a course repeated to earn a higher grade, unless the stu-
dent received an "F" in that course, or a "D" when a "C"
is required.

Deferment of T\iition

Veterans and other eligible students may receive one
deferment each academic year if there is a break (failure to
return in a subsequent semester) in the VA benefits.

Change of Status and Attendance

Veterans who withdraw, drop or add a class should notify
the Veterans Affairs Office immediately. Such a change could
result in an incorrect payment from the VA. Professors can
and will withdraw students from classes for excessive
absences; withdrawals and grades of "W" are retroactive to
the beginning of the term, and the VA does not pay for
courses in which the student receives a grade of "W".

Standards of Progress

Veterans must maintain a "C" (2.0) grade point aver-
age to remain in good standing. If the veteran does not
have a 2.0 after attempting 12 credit hours, the student will
be placed on Academic Warning. After attempting 24
credit hours, if the veteran still has less than a 2.0 GPA. the
veteran benefits will be terminated by the VA.

ACADEMIC POUCIES

&
PROCEDUKES

Academic Calendar

Edison's academic calendar is developed to comply
with State Board of Education (SBE) Rule 6A-10.019,
Florida Administrative Code (FAC). The academic year is
comprised of 220 days: a Summer B Session of 35 days;
a Fall Semester of 75 days; a Spring Semester of 75 days;
and a Summer A Session of 35 days. The Fall Semester is
scheduled to begin within the first three weekdays after
August 22; the Spring Semester within the first three
weekdays after January 4; and Summer A within the first
three weekdays after May 5. Although Summer B does not
have a state-defined start date, it is, in effect, defined by the
start dates of the other sessions.

In the Fall Semester of each year the Registrar's Office
drafts an academic calendar for the subsequent year. The cal-
endar contains designation of dates such as the following:
Beginning and ending dates of instructional terms

- Observed holidays

- Mid-term and final examination dates

- Commencement date

- Dates final grades are due

Once the draft calendar has been reviewed, the draft is
forwarded to Human Resources and at that point, class
days and faculty "duty days" are calculated. The final ver-
sion of the academic calendar is then prepared for submis-
sion to the Board of Trustees for approval.

Academic Petition and Appeal Process

Academic Petition:

The academic petiuon is a process designed to review,
based on written student request, college practices or actions
related to, but not limited to:

- Admissions processes
Substitution for a required course

- Waiver of general education requirement
Readmission from Academic Suspension

- Waiver of residency requirement for graduation

Students begin the process by completing an official
academic petition form, which is available in the Registrar's
Office. Completed academic petitions must be submitted
to the same office. It is the responsibility of the Registrar's
Office to log the petitions, and to route them to the appro-
priate person for review.

Many academic petitions, especially those regarding
admissions processes or standard substitution for required
courses, can be handled directly at the Office of the Regis-
trar. Those which the Registrar's Office feel need to be
referred elsewhere are normally sent to the instructional
supervisor responsible for that area. The instructional super-
visor then makes a determination based on the information
collected by his/her office or provided by the student, and
may request a meeting with the student for further infor-
mation or to receive clarification. The petition decision is
forwarded to the Office of the Registrar, which informs the
student of the decision.

Academic Appeal:

A student has a right to appeal a decision made on an
academic petition. If a student wishes to appeal such a
decision, the student must fill out an academic appeal form,
and return it to the Registrar's Office. The appeal is logged,
and forwarded to the Office of the Provost, Lee County
Campus. The Provost of the Lee County Campus will review
a student's appeal. A copy of the original academic pedfion
decision is automatically part of the subsequent appeal. An
appeal is not simply a review of the original pefition deci-
sion. It is a request to reverse the original decision. The
student must supply new, relevant, previously unconsid-
ered informaUon, or spell out the 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 considerations or arguments should prove
the student's case conclusively. The office may request
additional meetings or additional information for clarifica-
tion. The Provost of the Lee County Campus has the respon-
sibility for making the final academic decision for the
College. Forms are available in the Office of the Registrar.

Accelerated Programs

The "Accelerated Programs" cluster represents a variety of different programs in which students may earn college credit
through non-traditional methods. Most of the accelerated programs offered at Edison serve only eligible high school stu-
dents. However, the CLEP program is available to all students.

The effect of State Board of Education Rule 6A- 10.030 on the use of the College Level Examination Program at Edison
Community College is to disallow the use of CLEP to earn credit in any English Composition courses which count toward
graduation requirements. Students who have completed higher levels of mathematics courses in high schools may seek
CLEP credit for not more than three credits of mathematics.

Credit earned on the CLEP for Humanities may be used as the second course in the general education Humanities
requirement, but not for HUM 2210, 2230 or 2930; credit earned through CLEP will not count in fulfilling a writing inten-
sive course requirement. CLEP credit may not be used for grade forgiveness. CLEP credit is not granted if the course has
already been taken. CLEP credit for DEP 2004, Human Growth and Development, is not accepted by the Edison Nursing
Program.

II. ADVANCED PLACEMENT

In order to provide greater flexibility and opportunity for high school students to proceed with their education, Edison
Community College participates in a state-wide program of advanced placement with local high schools. The following pol-
icy will apply to Edison Community College Advanced Placement Program:

a. Educational Testing Service scores of 5, 4, and 3 will be accepted for credit, such credit to be assigned by the
Admissions Officer in terms of the entrance policies of Edison Community College.

b. State institutions will accept some placement credit for ETS scores of 5, 4, and 3 included in transcripts from Edison
Community College. The student should contact the anticipated transfer institution for verification of acceptance
prior to taking the examinations.

The following advanced placement exams earn Edison credit as indicated:

III. ACCELERATED PROGRAMS FOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS:

Dual Enrollment and other accelerated studies

A. Part-Time Dual Enrollment

High school seniors in Florida who have maintained
a 3.0 academic average (or juniors who have maintained
a 3.5 GPA), and demonstrate an ability and readiness
for college level work may, with the approval of the dis-
trict school superintendent or designee, enroll for courses
which carry credit toward high school graduation as
well as college.

These courses may be held on the high school cam-
pus or the college campus. Readiness for college level
work is determined through scores earned on one of the

following entrance examinations which are required
prior to dual enrollment: ACT, SAT, or PCELPT

Each county (and many private schools) has a sepa-
rate Dual Enrollment contract with Edison. See your
high school counselor for details.

Dual enrollment students work closely with their
high school guidance counselors to see that the follow-
ing requirements are met.

1. Testing prior to admission: SAT or ACT are pre-
ferred; FCELPT is allowed.

2. 3.0 GPA for seniors and Collier County juniors;
3.5 GPA for all other juniors.

3. High school principal or designee must sign the
dual enrollment form, listing the courses students
should take (from approved list).

4. Admit, attend orientation and register at one of
Edison's three campuses.

5. If the class is offered at the high school, admit and
register in class.

B. Other Accelerated Studies

Students with demonstrated ability may be admitted
part-time or in summer school by arrangements with
their high school principal and counselor. A letter from
the high school principal or designee must be submitted
each session, specifying the areas in which the student
has demonstrated ability and the courses the student is
to take at Edison. Testing is required for English com-
position and math courses. The student is responsible
for payment of fees and books.

C. Early Admissions: Full-time Dual Enrollment and other
Accelerated Studies

Early Admissions consists of:

1. Full-time Dual Enrollment

2. A combination of Dual Enrollment and other accel-
erated studies which equal 1 2 credit hours or more.

Edison Community College subscribes to a policy of
early admission. The following must accompany the
Edison Application for Admission:

1 . A letter from the high school principal and counselor
or designee containing:

- a recommendation for full-time early admission
and a list of approved other accelerated courses,
if appropriate.

- designations of courses which the student needs
for high school graduation.

2. Appropriate completed Dual Enrollment forms list-
ing school board approved courses for which the stu-
dent may register. These courses must apply toward
high school graduation. (Note: Course descriptions
will be provided by the Director of Counseling as
requested).

The applicant must complete testing and orientation
prior to registering for classes. All early admissions stu-
dents must achieve the state minimum cut off scores on

all appropriate subtests of the college entry placement
test. It is preferred that students present ACT or SAT
scores at the time of application. If the student must be
tested by Edison, the entire FCELPT will be adminis-
tered. (Dual Enrollment/Early Admission students who
use the FCELPT to establish their status may retest one
additional time on the FCELPT once they have gradu-
ated from high school, if they choose not to use their
SAT or ACT scores for entrance to Edison). A hold will
be placed on the application for early admission until it
is determined that required test scores are achieved.
No high school student will be placed in college
preparatory classes or Health and Wellness for dual
enrollment credit.

Next, the applicant is interviewed and approved for

admission by the Director of Counseling, or

designee. An Edison advisor will assist the student in

selecting the schedule of classes based on the

courses recommended by the high school principal

or counselor. If the principal or counselor indicates

that a student has completed all high school credits

except for electives, the Edison advisor will be able

to provide a schedule of classes.

- Tuition is waived for students earning early

admission and dual enrollment credit. Textbooks

are available at Edison or the high school. Check

with a counselor/advisor for information.

Policy for Awarding International
Baccalaureate Program Credit

Edison Community College has adopted a policy for
awarding International Baccalaureate Program Credit. The
Policy is as follows:

- Students receiving the IB diploma will receive up to
30 semester hours of credit for scores of four (4) or higher
on both higher level and subsidiary level examinations.

- Students who do not receive the IB diploma will receive
credit for scores of five (5) or higher on higher level exam-
inations only.

Beepers, Cellular Phones, and Pagers

Beepers, cellular phones, and pagers should be turned
off when entering a classroom. In an emergency, with prior
authorization from the professor, a beeper, cellular phone,
or pager may be turned to "silent ring" mode. In such a
case, any exit from a classroom should be made with a
minimum of disturbance.

Children or Family Members
in the Classroom

Only currently enrolled students are authorized to be
in classrooms, except for situations involving a disability.
Children, spouses, or other relatives are not permitted,
except by express permission of the Division Dean, Campus
Provost, or District Director of Learning Assistance. Com-
plaints regarding classroom disruption should be reported
to the same persons.

Class Attendance, Absence

Students are expected to attend all class periods of the
courses for which they are registered. Absence from sev-
eral meetings of a course may result in a lower grade. As a
result of excessive absence, a student may be required to
withdraw from a course or from college. The determina-

tion of what constitutes excessive absence in any course
rests with the professor conducting that course. Most
professors have written attendance requirements, for the
student's reference, in their course syllabus.

Class Cancellations

The college attempts to honor its commitment to pro-
vide 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.

College Level Academic Skills Test (CLAST)

The State of Florida has developed a test of college-
level communication and computation skills called the
College Level Academic Skills Test or CLAST CLAST is
designed to test the communication and computation skills
that are judged by state university and community college
faculty to be generally associated with successful perfor-
mance and achievement in lower division work.

The test is required by Florida statues and rules of the Sate
Board of Education when competencies in English, read-
ing, and mathematics can not be demonstrated by any of
the following options:

Students completing an Associate in Arts degree or an
Associate in Science degree and planning to transfer to a
Florida State University must demonstrate their competen-
cies required in the CLAST either through the method
described above or by earning passing scores in both the
Communication and Computation sections.

The CLAST is administered three (3) times per year
as determined by the State Department of Education. The
college calendar should be consulted for registration dead-
lines and test dates.

Students who are required to take the CLAST and do
not make acceptable scores on the test will not be awarded
the Associate in Arts degree. Students who successfully
complete three of the four CLAST sections may be admit-
ted to the units of the Florida university system, but they
must complete the remaining section prior to completion
of thirty-six (36) credit hours of university work.

After successful completion of all CLAST sections
the student will be fully admitted to upper division status
in the state university system. At this point, the student
may apply for graduation and be awarded the Associate in
Arts degree from Edison Community College. CLAST
requirements also apply to students transferring to state
universities in Florida from private colleges in Florida and
from out of state colleges.

The State Board of Education has established mini-
mum CLAST score standards for the awarding of the
Associate in Arts degree and for admission to upper divi-
sion status in state universities in Florida. Students should
check with the Counseling Center regarding specific score
information.

The Coun.seling Center staff at any of the college's
three campuses, or the Learning Assistance staff in Lee
County, can tell you how and when to apply to take the
CLAST, CLAST score standards, and inform you where

the communication and computation skills are taught in the
curriculum. In addition, these locations can inform you
about the CLAST exemptions and when special review
sessions are available. Final authority for granting an
exemption lies with the Institutional Test Administrator
(ITA). This office is located only on the Lee County
Campus in the Counseling Center, Sabal Hall.

Students with disabling condition, which require spe-
cial accommodations, must see the ITA prior to the regis-
tration deadline for the CLAST. The college calendar should
be consulted for appropriate dates.

Students with a documented disability who wish to peti-
tion for a waiver of the CLAST must also contact the ITA-

CLAST Waiver Requests

The legislature also realized that, for some individu-
als, passing the CLAST might be overwhelmingly difficult.
Therefore, the following circumstances have been delineated
which allow a student to request a waiver of the CLAST.

A petition must be filed with the ITA requesting such
a waiver. After reviewing the petition, the ITA provides the
paperwork to the CLAST Waiver Committee chairperson
who then convenes a committee appointed by the Provost,
Lee County Campus, to review the student's case. The
committee examines the student's academic and medical
records and hears testimony relevant to the case. The com-
mittee then recommends granting or denial of the student's
request for a CLAST waiver.

Edison Community College has established a commit-
tee pursuant to SBE Rule 6A- 10.03 11, FAC, to consider
requests for CLAST waivers. This committee is responsi-
ble to the chief academic officer and has four additional
members: a member of the mathematics department, a mem-
ber of the English department, the ITA, and a fourth faculty

member from a department other than English or mathe-
matics. Other non-voting faculty or staff may be invited to
attend and offer the benefit of their expertise as it relates to
the student's inability to pass the subtest(s).

Students with Documented Disabilities

A student who has a documented, specific learning
disability such that he/she cannot successfully complete
one or more subtests of the CLAST may request a waiver
of the particular subtest(s).

Other CLAST Waiver Petitions

Any student who has taken a subtest of the CLAST at
least four times and has not been able to achieve a passing
score, but has otherwise demonstrated proficiency in course
work in the same subject area, may request a waiver from
that particular subtest. Waivers may be considered only after
the student has been provided with test adaptions or other

administrative adjustments to permit the accurate measure-
ment of the student's proficiency in the subject area.

The committee will consider the student's proficiency
in the subject area(s) and the student's educational records
as well as other evidence as to whether the student should
be able to pass the subtest(s). A waiver of the subtest(s) in
question may be recommended upon a majority vote of the
committee. When a waiver from a subtest(s) is approved,
the student's transcript will be noted accordingly. A state-
approved code will be used to indicate that the student did
not meet the requirements of the above mentioned state
statue and that a waiver was granted.

The ITA submits a written report to the Department of
Education as waivers are approved and final documenta-
tion is sent to the student. The report outlines the follow-
ing: name and social security number of the student,
gender and ethnic background, type of waiver granted, and
the subtest(s) for which the waiver was granted.

College Preparatory Program

The Florida Legislature created, by statute, College
Preparatory Programs in all of Florida's community col-
leges effective July 1, 1985. First-time-in-college appli-
cants for admission who apply to enter degree programs
shall be tested prior to the completion of registration. Tests
which are recognized for purposes of evaluation at Edison
Community College are: The ACT Enhanced, SAT, and
FCELPT. The test which will be routinely given to enter-
ing students is the FCELPT (Florida College Entry Level
Placement Test).

Students should present scores on the above test which
have been earned up to two years previous to admission to
Edison. Further testing on the FCELPT may be necessary.
These scores will be entered on the student's transcripts.
Students shall enroll in college preparatory communica-,
tion and computation instruction if test scores are below
the specific levels indicated on the chart below.

TEST READING ENGLISH MATH

ACT-Enhanced 16 16 16

SATR 420(Verbal) 420 440

FCELPT 83 83 72(Alg)

Please note: The FCELPT may be taken only one time. All
test scores used for entry into Edison must be less than two
years. Scores below those printed will require learning
assistance courses.

If the student scores above the cut off scores on the
placement test, she/he may enroll in college credit instruc-
tion. If the student scores below the cut off scores on the
entrance test, she/he is required to enter college prepara-
tory instruction. College preparatory instruction may NOT
be counted toward meeting degree requirements.

Students who test into college preparatory instruction
and subsequently enroll in college preparatory instruction
must successfully complete the required college prepara-
tory studies by the time they have successfully accumu-
lated 1 2 hours of college level course work or they must
maintain continuous enrollment in college preparatory
course work each semester until the requirements are
completed while performing satisfactorily in the degree
earning course work. Students shall not enroll for more
than three (3) attempts in each course to complete college
preparatory instruction. Students enrolled in a college
preparatory course who drop the course after the drop/add
period will be considered to have utilized one of their three
semesters allowed to complete that course. Students are
permitted to enroll in college preparatory instruction con-
currently with credit instruction in courses for which they
are qualified. College preparatory students may not enroll
in the following categories of college credit courses while
completing their college preparatory course work:

1) College preparatory students who are deficient in
mathematics may not enroll in any college level
mathematics courses or other courses that require

mathematics skills that are beyond the skill level of
the student.

2) College preparatory students who are deficient in
English and/or reading skills may not enroll in
English or humanities courses that meet the
Gordon Rule requirements, or any other courses
that require communication skills that are beyond
the skill level of the student.

3) College preparatory students who are deficient in
all three areas may enroll in college-level courses
such as orientation courses, college success courses,
or other courses that are not dependent on college-
level computation and communication skills.

College preparatory instruction earns compensatory
education credits only.

College preparatory instruction is provided in reading,
writing and mathematics. There are three levels of reading,
three levels of English, and three levels of mathematics.
The college preparatory courses a student may have to take
are determined by the FCELPT scores.

Reading instruction includes the recognition of main
ideas, supporting details, meanings of words in context,
author's purpose, tone, valid arguments, explicit and implicit
relationships within and between sentences; and the ability
to detect bias, to distinguish fact from opinion, and to draw
logical inferences and conclusion. College preparatory
writing instruction includes word choice, sentence, and
five (5) paragraph essay. College preparatory mathematics
instruction includes arithmetic and introductory algebra
including real numbers and their properties, basic opera-
tions and linear expressions, factoring of algebraic expres-
sions, and solutions of linear equations and inequalities.

All college preparatory courses require ninety (90)
contact hours per semester. These contact hours are com-
prised of a combination of regular classroom lecture hours
and open lab hours. The combination is determined by the
department each semester and is published in the official
schedule of classes each semester. The open lab hours are
posted each semester. Open lab hours can be completed
any time the lab is open.

Students shall not enroll for more than three (3) attempts
in each course to complete college preparatory instruction.
Students who withdraw officially after the end of the drop/
add period (defined as the date published in the Catalog)
shall be considered to have enrolled that semester for pur-
poses of this limitation.

Students who withdraw after this point for reasons of
personal hardship, disability, or under extenuating circum-
stances may be granted an exception. Student must provide
written documentation of hardship, disability, or extenuating
circumstances that warrant withdrawal. Such exceptions
require approval under guidelines established and approved
by the Board of Trustees. Such documentation shall be
submitted to the District Director of Learning Assistance,

who will approve or disapprove the request. In the event
that no documentation can be furnished by the student, the
signature of the District Director of Learning Assistance
will be accepted as authorization for the exception.

Edison Community College's Preparatory program is
part of Learning Assistance. Should questions arise about
this program and its regulations, please consult personnel
in Learning Assistance or a counselor.

PLEASE NOTE: STUDENTS WHO MUST ENROLL IN THE
SAME PREPARATORY CLASS WITHIN A SKILL AREA
MORE THAN ONE TIME SHALL PAY FEES AT 100 PER-
CENT OF THE FULL COST OF INSTRUCTION STU-
DENTS WHO WITHDRAW OR FAIL A CLASS DUE TO
EXTENUATING CIRCUMSTANCES MAY BE GRANTED
AN EXCEPTION ONLY ONCE FOR EACH CLASS. STU-
DENTS MUST PROVIDE WRITTEN DOCUMENTATION
OF FINANCIAL HARDSHIP DISABILITY, OR EXTEN-
UATING CIRCUMSTANCES THAT WARRANT WITH-
DRAWAL OR FAILURE. SUCH DOCUMENTATION
MUST BE SUBMITTED TO THE DISTRICT DIRECTOR
OF LEARNING ASSISTANCE.

College Rights

Edison Community College reserves the right to deny
admission to any applicant, to change any of the rules,
courses, regulations, or teaching assignments without notice,
and to suspend any student whose behavior is not in keep-
ing with the best interests of the college.

Course Deletions — "5- Year Rule"

In compliance with SBE Rule 10.0331, FAC, and as
part of the process of developing the new Catalog each
year, the college shall delete from the Catalog any course
not taught during the five fiscal years, or less, if desired,
preceding the effective date of the next catalog. Based on
data from Institutional Research, the instructional supervi-
sors annually recommend to the Curriculum Committee
which courses should be deleted from the Catalog.

The following are exceptions to this rule:

(1) Any course which is slated for deletion in accor-
dance with above, but which is scheduled to be
taught during the effective dates of the next
Catalog, will be retained in the next Catalog.

(2) Any course which is slated for deletion in accor-
dance with above, but which the College feels
should be retained as a course offering for some
extraordinary reason(s), may be retained in the
next Catalog, providing such action will be by
specific recommendation of the Curriculum Com-
mittee and the approval of the Provost, Lee
County Campus.

The Provost of the Lee County Campus shall annually
notify the office of the State Board of Community Col-
leges (SBCC) as to which courses are to be deleted from

the inventory for Edison Community College, pursuant to
this Rule.

The Office of the Provost, Lee County Campus shall
annually update the on-line course record to retain the
Edison history of courses, including last term taught and
relationship to previous or new courses.

The President shall certify to the Board annually that
the College has complied with this State Board Rule.

Course Outline and Course Syllabus

OUTLINE: The course outline is distinguished from
the course syllabus in that the outline sketches or provides
an overview of the content of the course. The syllabus, on
the other hand, provides a detailed description of the par-
ticular section of the course that a student is enrolled in
during a particular semester, and includes such informa-
tion as schedule of class meefings and assignments, atten-
dance policies, textbook requirements, and actual test
dates. The course outline typically includes only the first
three steps listed below.

The appropriate academic administrator or professor
developing a new course is responsible for submission of
the course outline. This document must be furnished to the
Curriculum Committee along with the course proposal
when a course is presented. If the course is subsequently
approved for permanent use at the College, the course out-
line becomes part of the documentation sent to the State
Course Numbering System.

SYLLABUS: The course syllabus is the responsibility
of each professor. It should be developed by the professor,
approved by the academic administrator, typed (or "word-
processed,") duplicated, and ready to distribute and review
with students at the first class meeting. A copy should be
provided for the supervisor's file.

The syllabus should include — at a minimum — the
following:

1. Course number and title. Catalog description, credit
hours.

2. Prerequisites for the course.

3. General course information — Topic Outline: what
the course is (and is not) designed to include.

4. Course outcomes — in behavioral terms, specify what
students are expected to achieve for each topic covered.

5. Requirements for the students — class participation,
tests, homework assignments, make-up procedures, etc.

6. Attendance policy — the professor's specific policy
concerning absence. (The college policy on attendance
is in the Catalog, and defers to the professor.)

7. Grading Policy — the numerical ranges for letter
grades. (Note: The "incomplete" grade ["I"] should be
given only when unusual circumstances warrant. An
"incomplete" is not a substitute for a "D", "F", or "W."
Refer to the policy on "incomplete" grades.)

8. Textbook requirements (in correct bibliographic format).

9. Reserved materials for the course. Other special learn-
ing resources.

10. CLAST competencies involved in the course.

1 1. Cla.ss Schedule: This section includes assignments for
each class meeting or unit, along with scheduled LRC
media and other scheduled support, including sched-
uled tests.

12. Any other information or class procedures or policies
which would be useful to the students in this class.
Since the syllabus may be interpreted as a contract

with students, it should be developed carefully, insuring
that material discussed is covered during the semester,
grading and absence policies are followed, and so forth.

Course Withdrawal Policy

Students who officially withdraw from a class or classes
any time prior to the date listed in the college calendar,
found in the first few pages of this College Catalog, 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. (See "Maximum Course Attempts Policy.")

Credit Class Scheduling

Development of the class schedules for any session is
at the discretion of the scheduler, i.e.. Director, Dean, or
Provost. It is the responsibility of the scheduler to insure
that: (1) appropriate courses are offered which best serve
the needs of the community, (2) qualified instructors are
found to teach all offered courses and (3) courses are
scheduled in order to make efficient use of space available
at each location. Class schedule development begins
according to the time lines set by the Office of the Provost,
Lee County Campus. Input from faculty is solicited. Final
corrections are made and a copy made available for print-
ing according to a publishing schedule set by the Registrar.

Credit classes at Edison are scheduled to comply with
SBE Rule 6A- 10.033, FAC, which requires one (1) college
credit be awarded for learning expected from the equiva-
lent of fifteen (15) fifty-minute periods of classroom
instruction. Contact hours assigned to laboratory instruc-
tion, internships or clinical experience are determined by
Edison based on the proportion of direct instruction to
the laboratory exercise, internship hours, or clinical prac-
tice hours. Definition of such ratios are found in the Col-
lective Negotiations Agreement, available at the Human
Resources Office.

Curriculum Committee

The Provost, Lee County Campus, and the District
Curriculum Committee share a strong commitment to pro-
mote quality academic programs which meet student and
community needs, and reflect the philosophy of the
College as published in the College Catalog. The Curricu-
lum Committee is responsible to the Provost, Lee County

Campus, for reviewing and recommending new courses or
programs to be offered, for recommending changes in or
discontinuation of courses or programs, and for the contin-
uous review and recommendation concerning the overall
curriculum and instructional programs of the College. The
Committee's recommendations concerning curricular pro-
posals are forwarded to the Provost, Lee County Campus,
for further action.

Guidelines for Curriculum Proposals:
Additions or Changes

The following is a list of steps which must be under-
taken in order to add a new course or change the content of
an existing course. Course proposals which fail to adhere
to these guidelines will not be considered by the Cur-
riculum Committee:

1. All new curriculum proposals should first be dis-
cussed with the appropriate instructional supervisor.

2. In the case of a new or experimental course, if the
supervisor is in agreement with the proposal, he or
she will fill in a "New Course Transmittal Form"
except for the State Common Course Number. Based
on the information presented, the Office of the Provost,
Lee County Campus, will request a State Common
Course Number.

3. After the supervisor has received a return memo
from the office of the Provost, Lee County Campus,
with a State Common Course Number, a course pro-
posal can be submitted to the Curriculum Committee.
No new or experimental course will be considered
by the Curriculum Committee without a State Com-
mon Course Number.

4. When all elements of the course proposal have been
completed, sufficient copies (25) of the proposal should
be turned in to the chairman of the Curriculum Com-
mittee ten (10) working days prior to the monthly
meeting. (Curriculum Committee meetings are gen-
erally held on the fourth Thursday of each month.)
Complete proposals must include the following:

- Curriculum Committee Course Proposal Form

- Course Outline

- Course Transmittal Form

Course proposals missing any of these items are
incomplete and will not be considered by the committee.

For inclusion in the College Catalog for the next aca-
demic year, new curriculum proposals must be acted upon
by the Curriculum Committee prior to December first. Pro-
posals acted upon by the committee after this time will not
be printed in the College Catalog for the next academic year.

Experimental courses are valid for one year. For
experimental courses to become part of the permanent col-
lege course inventory and appear in the College Catalog,
they will need to be resubmitted to the Curriculum Com-
mittee for consideration prior to the December deadline.

Dean's List

After the end of the Fall and Spring Semesters only,
the Office of the Provost, Lee County Campus, will pub-
lish a list of students completing twelve or more credits
(College Preparatory Classes EXCLUDED) whose credit
class grades averaged 3.5 (B-i-) 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 incomplete
grades (see 'Incomplete' Grade).

Faculty Office Hours

Full time faculty are required to schedule a minimum
of ten hours per week during which time they will be avail-
able for consultation with students. Office hours configura-
tion is subject to the approval of the instructor's supervisor.
Office hours will be posted on faculty office doors by
means of a "Program Card." Additional office hours may
be scheduled, and students may be seen by appointment.

Adjunct faculty should make themselves available for
student consultation before or after class, and/or by
■ appointment.

Final Exam Procedures

Information on this topic is published, by term, in the
"Class Schedule."

"Grade Forgiveness" Policy

The "Grade Forgiveness" Policy permits students to
repeat a course in an attempt to improve a grade. Repeating
a course is permissible only for courses in which a student
earned a "D" or an "F." A student will be limited to two
repeats per course. Upon a third attempt, the grade issued
will be the final grade for that course. (See "Maximum
Course Attempts Policy.")

Grade forgiveness is automatic, beginning Summer B,
1995, for all students who have repeated courses at Edison.

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 from other institutions.

Students should be aware that some colleges or uni-
versities 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 cau-
tioned to check with the Financial Aid Office to insure 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, 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 grade-point
average after the awarding of the Associate in Arts degree.

This policy applies to courses that are repeated for
"grade forgiveness" purposes. It does not apply to offi-
cially repeatable courses.

Grade Reports

FINAL: Final Grade Reports are mailed at the end of
each semester The final grade is the only grade which
appears on the student's transcript.

Grading and Grade-Point System

For the current grade symbols and grade-point weights,
the following grade symbols and grade-point weights are
used at Edison Community College beginning in the 1997-98
academic year:

A Excellent 4 points

B Good 3 points

C Average 2 points

D Poor 1 point

F Failure 0 points

I "Incomplete"* 0 points

W Withdraw** 0 points

X Audit (No credit) 0 points

*See 'Incomplete ' Grade

**See Course Withdrawal Policx

^Incomplete' Grade

A grade of "I" is given only when the student has suc-
cessfully completed most of the course in question and, in
the judgment of the professor, is able to make up any
deficit within the required time frame. A student who
received an "I" must make up the deficiency and have the
change of grade recorded in the Office of the Registrar no
later than the twenty-eighth (28th) calendar day after the
first day of classes in the next session. After that, the grade
defaults to an "F*. The responsibility for making the nec-
essary arrangements with an instructor for the removal of
an "I" rests with the student concerned. Extensions of a
grade of "I" are not allowed.

If a professor awarding an "I" is not going to be avail-
able the following term, it is the responsibility of the pro-
fessor awarding an "I" to make arrangements for the
student to deliver the necessary completed course work to-
a fellow faculty member or the professor's supervisor for a
change of grade. In such a case, it is the professor's respon-
sibility to inform the faculty member or supervisor and the
student in wrifing what needs to be completed in order for
the "I" to be removed. The professor should provide a copy
of the student's grades to-date, and to describe how to
assess the students remaining work and final grade.

In cases where circumstances prevents a professor
from assigning a grade, final responsibility for the grade
change rests with the supervisor.

Learning Resources Charges

The following charges apply to all patrons:

( 1 ) Charges for material checked out and not returned:

(a) The charge for material owned by Learning
Resources will be the current average trade
price of the material not returned.

(b) Patrons of Learning Resources who do not
return material obtained through intra/inter-
library loan will be billed the charges assessed
by the owning library.

(c) Patrons who have overdue material or who
have failed to return material that has been
recalled will be notified. Patrons will be advised
of the "Hold on Records" status defined in
section 5.

(d) If the material is not returned, patrons will be
sent an invoice for the charges specified in
this rule.

(2) Lost or Mutilated Materials:

(a) An item reported lost, or one returned in a
damaged/mutilated condition, will be billed
as described above.

(b) If "lost" material owned by Learning Resources
is subsequently found and returned in usable
condition, within six (6) months, a refund will
be issued of the charge paid provided the
receipt is presented.

(c) If "lost" intra/interlibrary material is subse-
quently found, any refund will be at the dis-
cretion of the owning library.

(d) Exceptions to the time limits of this secfion
may be made (at the discretion of the Direc-
tor of Learning Resources) for out-of-print
materials of continuing value.

(3) Fee-based services provided by outside agencies:
Patrons who request services for which a fee
is charged will be billed the amount charged.
No additional service charges will be added by
Learning Resources. Examples of such services
are literature searches done by a reference librar-
ian in an external database and charges levied by
the owning library for intra/interlibrary loans.

(4) Learning Resources Cards:

Patrons eligible for borrowing privileges will be
provided one Learning Resources card at no charge.
Patrons will be required to pay a replacement fee
for each succeeding card issued.

(5) Definition of "Hold on Records" Status:

(a) No transcripts will be released.

(b) No further registration will be permitted.

(d) Learning Resources borrowing privileges will
be suspended.

(6) Patrons will be given signed and dated receipts
for each charge and/or service fee paid.

(7) Learning Resources invoices that are not resolved
may be turned over to the Business Office for fur-
ther action.

(8) Appeals by patrons penalized under this rule may
be made to the Director of Learning Resources.
Appeals must be submitted within ten working
days of the assessment.

Maximum Course Attempts Policy

A student will be permitted a maximum of three
attempts per course. This applies to course withdrawals
and "grade forgiveness" or both of these combined.

Maximum Student Class Load

A student may not take more than 1 7 credit hours dur-
ing a full-length semester or 8 credits during Summer A or
Summer B session without the written permission of a
counselor. Counselors will work closely with each student
in determining the maximum class load the student should
carry in relation to his or her ability and background. There
is no minimum class load.

Music Admission Policy

Applied Music is designated a Limited Enrollment
Program. Students who demonstrate advanced accom-
plishment may be eligible for one-on-one applied music
instruction. Seats are limited, and these classes are not

intended for beginners. The criteria guiding the selection
process follows:

1. Full-time music majors have first priority. Due to
the high cost of individual instruction, students are
not permitted to repeat an applied music course.

2. Full-time (12 hours) degree-seeking students have
second priority; students who need a one-credit-hour
course to "fill" their load do not qualify, nor do
those who are just learning to play an instrument.

3. Dual enrollment students and part-time students who
are likely to become full-time have third priority.

4. Community members have fourth option on remain-
ing seats, exclusive of those who have repeated a
course more than once. Such repeaters should be
referred to the Office of Continuing Education.

All students enrolled in applied music lessons must
receive approval and certification of demonstrated advanced
accomplishment by the professor, the written permission
of the dean, and must show evidence of having enrolled in
an ensemble. The written permission shall designate the
criteria ( 1 , 2, 3 or 4 as listed above) under which the student
is granted approval. Students must be accommodated in
priority order, i.e. criteria one students have first priority,
then criteria two students, etc. A form will be provided for
this process.

Out-of-District Instruction

Consistent with SBE Rule 6A- 14.006, FAC, credit and
non-credit instruction provided by a community college
outside its own district requires prior approval by the State
Board of Community Colleges. State guidelines apply to
foreign study, out-of-state but in-country instruction, and
out-of-di strict but in-state instruction. Policies for grading,
course outlines, learning outcomes, standards, etc., shall be
the same for out-of-district instruction as for in-district
instruction. Documentation to this effect shall be kept by
the College.

A professor who wishes to organize and instruct an
out-of-district class, should fill out SBCC Form OD-1 (for
out-of-state courses or programs), or SBCC Form OD-2
(for out-of-district but in-state courses or programs). After
the form has been submitted to his/her supervisor for
approval, the Board of Trustees must approve the request
for submission to the State Board of Community Colleges.
The Office of the Provost, Lee County Campus, coordi-
nates the paperwork with the State Board of Community
Colleges.

Since approval of both Boards is necessary, approval
normally takes several months. Therefore the approval
process should be initiated well in advance of the intended
delivery of the course.

Part-Time (Adjunct) Faculty

Information relating to Adjunct Faculty is published in

the Employment and Personnel Operations Procedures,

■ provided by Human Resources, and in the Adjunct Faculty

Handbook, published by the Office of the Provost, Lee
County Campus.

Professional Development of Faculty

Section 4.8.7, "Professional Growth," Criteria for
Accreditation, Southern Association of Colleges and
Schools, 1994:

An institution must provide faculty members the
opportunity to continue their professional development
throughout their careers and must demonstrate that such
development occurs.

Among the means of accomplishing this goal are
leaves of absence for study and research, additional grad-
uate work in the discipline, participation in professional
meetings and in-service training such as instruction in
computer usage. The general tone and policies of an insti-
tution must make it clear that individual faculty members
are to take the initiative in promoting their own growth as
teachers, scholars, and especially in professional and
occupational fields, practitioners.

1. Each faculty member, except for first-year members,
shall prepare an annual professional development plan
at the beginning of the fall semester. The plan should be
constructed during the faculty development period
prior to the first day of classes.

2. The plan shall outline what the faculty member realis-
tically seeks to accomplish during the year to promote
his or her professional development. Such a plan shall
be clear and concise (consisting of a page or two) and
should identify criteria for successful completion of plan
objectives. It may be reviewed and revised by the fac-
ulty member throughout the year as desired. A faculty
member may consult with his or her supervisor, if
desired, in constructing or revising the plan.

The plan may also include projects which take longer
than a year to accomplish. The faculty member shall
note progress toward the longer-term objectives. Over-
all and annual time-lines should be noted, as appropriate.

Such a plan shall also summarize the progress made
on the previous year's plan, indicating which parts of
the plan have been accomplished, and which are to be
incorporated in the next year's plan, and which ele-
ments were not accomplished and are to be discarded.

3. For faculty members who are currently in program areas
or disciplines requiring recertification, recertification
will be evidence of professional development. A sum-
mary of successful progress toward recertification will
constitute the faculty member's development plan. A
faculty member may augment any such plan to the
degree he/she wishes.

4. The faculty member's annual professional develop-
ment plan shall be forwarded directly to his or her
supervisor so as to provide proof of compliance with
SACS requirements. Unless a faculty member requests
otherwise, only the current professional development
plan shall be kept on file at Human Resources.

Standards of Academic Progress

The purpose of the Standards of Academic Progress is
to assist in identifying and providing help to students who
are having academic difficulties. The intent of the
Standards of Progress is to alert students that they are not
making appropriate progress on a timely basis, so that they
may correct academic weaknesses and problems early in
their college career. The overall effect of these standards
should be a more satisfactory academic performance and
improved use of special resources available for students
encountering academic difficulty, and to improve the
retention rate of our students.

In order to improve retention, mandatory orientation,
entry testing (or test exemption), and advising (Educa-
tional Plans) are required for all degree seeking students.
The purpose of these sessions is to assure that students
beginning their educational experiences at Edison will be
enrolled in the appropriate courses, and with the appropri-
ate course load relevant to each student's unique situation
(e.g.. a single parent, holding a full-time job). All entering
students who are unsure of their educational and career
goals, and returning adult students who may lack confi-
dence in their college survival skills, will be encouraged to
enroll in SLSl 101, "College Success Skills." (This course
has had a positive influence in improving student retention
rates.) Students, who through placement testing, are required
to enroll in a Learning Assistance reading and English
course, and are encouraged to enroll in REA 1 620, "Special
Study Skills." The purpose of these requirements is to help
prevent student failure and to enhance student success.

WARNING CATEGORIES:

a. Academic Warning: Students who have attempted
1 2 credits and have achieved less than a cumulative
2.0 grade-point average (GPA) will be placed on
"Academic Warning." These students should see a
Counselor or Advising Specialist prior to further
registration.

b. Academic Probation: Students who have attempted
18 credits and have achieved less than a cumulative
2.0 grade-point average (GPA) will be placed on
"Academic Probation." Such students will be required
to see a Counselor in order to determine the best
strategies to improve their academic progress.
Students may be advised to enroll in REA 1620,
"Special Study Skills,", or to take other college suc-
cess courses such as SLSllOl, "College Success
Skills," IDS 1350, "Critical Thinking," or special
reading courses.

Students on academic probation should be aware
that if they do not raise their GPA in the following
semester, they will be placed on Academic Suspen-
sion. Students on academic probation could also
jeopardize financial aid eligibility.

c. Academic Suspension: Students whose cumulative
GPA declines while on academic probation will be

placed on "Academic Suspension" for a sixteen (16)
week period.

Students may petition to continue their enrollment
through the Records Office. The petition must be received
in the Records Office by a specific date to be considered.
Students approved for confinuation of enrollment through
petition must follow guidelines that will enhance their
chances for academic success. Students whose petifions
are denied will be suspended for the sixteen week period.
Students desiring to re-enter college following "Academic
Suspension" will be required to work closely with a Coun-
selor or Advising Specialist who will help the student
develop an appropriate choice of classes and goals.

Students who fail to achieve academic improvement
after reinstatement following academic suspension will be
contacted by mail to inform them of their status and to rec-
ommend what appropriate alternatives may be available to
them. At this point, a registrafion "hold" will be placed on
the student record. The student will be unable to enroll until
he or she has consulted with a Counselor or had the oppor-
tunity to discuss his or her situafion before an Academic
Standards Review Committee.

Student Classifications

A: Full Time, Part Time: A student must take 12 credits
or more during a semester session, or 6 credits or more
Summer A or Summer B, to be considered a full-time
student. A student who enrolls in less than these mini-
mums is considered part time.

B. Credit, Audit, & Non-Credit: Students enrolled for
college credit in the current session will be considered
Credit Students. Students who enroll for no credit, that
is, students who "audit" a course normally offered for
credit, will be considered Audit Students. Students
enrolled in Continuing Education courses, which are
not offered for college credit, will be considered Non-
credit Students.

Student Review of Instruction

In order to improve the teaching/learning process, fur-
ther course and program development, and encourage fac-
ulty professional development, it is necessary to gather
information regarding instructional practices and proce-
dures. Among relevant kinds of information is the student's
review of instruction regarding classes he/she is taking.
Student surveys are distributed after mid-term examina-
tions. The professor arranges for a student in the class to
administer the survey and is not to be present while the sur-
vey is completed. Written comments regarding any aspect
of instruction in the surveyed class are encouraged and are
made on the backside of the computer answer sheet since
the surveys themselves will be re-used. Students are encour-
aged to be as candid and as accurate as possible. Written
comments should focus on elements which the student
thinks can be improved or on elements which were partic-
ularly 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 provided and return enve-
lope to the designated office. The envelope should be
checked to verify the correct course number, section and
professor's name. The procedure for administering the stu-
dent review survey is provided on the envelope containing
the surveys. Copies of these directions may be obtained
from any instructional administrator's office. Class aver-
ages, 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 regard-
ing instruction.

Textbook Selection Process

Uniform textbook adoption, in courses which consist
of multiple sections in multiple locations, is strongly rec-
ommended. To ensure that students pursue sequential
courses with the prerequisite knowledge, and to ensure
uniformity of course delivery, the college has identified a
process which seeks to provide for faculty input in class-
room materials adoption.

In mid-fall semester each year, the textbook adoption
process begins for the following academic year. The goal
is to provide timely adoptions so that bookstore buy-backs
can proceed efficiently, and that materials to be ordered
can be specified well in advance of the time that they are
needed in the classrooms. The deadline for completion of
these two functions is prior to the Bookstore buy-back
period during the Spring Semester.

All faculty are solicited for input. Program or disci-
pline committees are assembled before the Fall Semester
has ended in order for prospective classroom materials to
be assembled for examination. After the beginning of the

Spring Semester, the committees meet and decide on class-
room materials to be used in the following year. Regular
meetings, and/or telephone conferences provide the basis
for the decision making.

Time for exchange of ideas should be provided. Once
the decisions have been made, the Chairperson of each
committee provides to his/her supervisor documentation of
the decision process which includes the names of those who
have been involved in the deliberation process, required
materials selected, supplemental materials selected, and the
date upon which these meetings and decisions occurred. The
Bookstore order for books shall be completed at this time,
and forwarded through regular channels to the bookstore.

The college anticipates that except in unusual circum-
stances, the course materials will be adopted for at least
one year. Committees will meet each year for review to
change or to re-adopt instructional materials. Documenta-
tion of the decision-making process should proceed from
the Chairs of the adoption groups to their supervisors. A
copy of the documentation regarding classroom material
adoption should be retained in the supervisor's office. A
sample form to be used in the process of reporting the deci-
sion of the committee may be obtained from any instruc-
tional administrative office.

Word-Processing or Typing Policy

Students are expected to print or type papers which
are presented in courses taken for credit. Exceptions may
be made in special cases and a paper may be accepted
which is neady handwritten and meets all other specifica-
tions for legibility, form and documentation. The "word-
processing" or typing of papers is regarded as the norm
and is considered good practice for students transferring to
upper division colleges and universities.

Graduation Requirements

Graduation is processed automatically for all eligible
students. Degree notations are posted to the online student
transcript and diplomas are sent to the graduate's last known
address. If returned, they are retained as permanent records
in the Student Records Vault until claimed by the student.

Any student whose degree requirements were met in a
previous term will be graduated in the term in which the
evaluation takes place. Petitions for backdated or delayed
graduation will be reviewed on an individual basis.

Any student who has 45 credit hours or more and is
not enrolled in a Fall or Spring term will be contacted by
mail to encourage completion of degree requirements. Any
student who has met all Associate in Arts Degree require-
ments except CLAST will be contacted by mail to encour-
age completion and to request that they have his/her
CLAST scores sent to this college.

In order to receive either the AA or the AS degree, stu-
dents must satisfy requirements for that degree, and must
accomplish the following additional requirements:

1. Register in the final session of attendance for any
courses not previously completed which are necessary
to satisfy degree requirements. Students may partici-
pate in graduation ceremonies who have previously
completed requirements during the current academic
year, or who are due to graduate during the Spring
Session, or are within eight hours of completion in the
Summer A session.

2. Achieve a cumulative overall GPA of 2.0 in all courses
undertaken (for students who have transferred to Edison,
this includes courses taken elsewhere).

3. Fulfill all financial obligations to the College and meet
all deadlines pertaining to graduation.

4. Complete successfully fifteen credit hours of course
work at Edison Community College.

Students may graduate from Edison under the require-
ments of a catalog in effect during any one of the five years
after their first term of enrollment, whichever is to the stu-
dents' advantage. If the degree requirements are not com-
pleted during the five calendar years allotted, students
must graduate in accordance with the regulations of the
catalog in effect when they are to receive the degree. An

Regulations, Procedures

I. Definition: A Student Development function is defined
as an activity or entertainment, sponsored by a College
approved student group, designed to promote growth
and development of students.

II. Approval of Functions: All functions must be approved
at least two weeks in advance of the event. The correct
procedure is as follows:

A. Clear the date on the student activity calendar at the
Student Activities Office and with the advisor.

B. Obtain an Activity Reservation form from the Stu-
dent Activities office.

C. Present the Activity Reservation form to the advi-
sor and to the Student Development Specialist for
approval. Date, location, hours, budget, theme,
agreement and signature of the organization's pres-
ident, advisor and treasurer should be indicated on
the form.

D. Completed forms must be in the Student Activities
office two weeks prior to the event. Upon approval
of your request, space, publicity, invitations, and
other preparations may be made.

E. All publicity must be approved by the club advisor.

F. Public Entertainment

1. Student organizations may hold no entertain-
ment open to the public without the consent of
the Student Development Specialist (or designee)
and the advisor.

2. All plans, scripts, librettos, costumes must be
approved by the club advisor.

III. Location of Functions: It is acceptable to have an event
in any approved place in the five-county College dis-
trict. A location may be disapproved because of dis-
tance, inadequate police protection, inadequate facilities.

fire hazards or other reasons determined valid by the
Student Development Office and the advisor.

IV. Budgets: Each application for a function must be
accompanied by a budget which is approved by the
advisor, president and treasurer.

members' and guests' conduct as follows:

A. Only registered students and their guests may
attend College events sponsored by student organi-
zations, unless by special invitation of the group.

B. Attire should be appropriate for a public event.

C. Each group should refrain from using decorations,
signs and favors considered in poor taste because
students represent the College at all times.

D. Any function sponsored by or held in the name of
a recognized student organization must abide by all
regulations stated herein, whether that function is
held on or off the College campus.

E. The College expects students to conduct them-
selves as mature adults, to dress and conduct social
events in good taste, and reserves the right at any
time to discipline students whose conduct is deemed
against College regulations. (See Student Code of
Conduct and Responsibility.)

F. Use or possession of alcohol and/or drugs by a stu-
dent or advisor during any College sponsored activ-
ity is prohibited. Violation of this policy can result
in disciplinary action.

VI. Duties as Advisor of a Campus Group: It is impor-
tant for the advisor, officers and members to discuss
their expectations for each other and the group. This
will aid in preventing misunderstandings as the year
progresses. The agreed-upon expectations should be
written and distributed so that all participants are
aware that they are accountable for the guidelines. The
advisor serves as a resource person and an overseer of
administrative details.

A. Resource: Advisors have organizational and com-
munity knowledge. Often they have been advisors
of one club for quite a while and can share experi-
ences that have occurred over the years. An advi-
sor's professional and business associates, as well
as friends in the local community are additional
resources for clubs. With the assistance of a club
advisor, outside resources can be used as speakers
and sources of financial and general support.

B. Administrative Details: Advisors are employees
of the College and therefore have critical informa-
tion regarding College staff, operations, regulations,
etc. This can be of great benefit to clubs, especially
when dealing with detail-oriented tasks such as
purchasing items and traveling to conferences. Most
advisors will be familiar with parliamentary proce-
dures, Robert's Rules of Order, minutes, and book-
keeping and can share this knowledge with others
in the club.

C. Rights and Responsibilities: Advisors of clubs at
Edison are afforded certain rights and responsibilities.
An advisor has the right to:

1. Receive ample notice of meedngs and club
functions that require his/her presence.

2. Obtain a corporate account credit card through
the College for club- related travel expenses.

3. Document the behavior of students that are in
violation of the Code of Conduct and Responsi-
bility. Discipline students in conjuncfion with
the Director of Student Development.

4. Support club endeavors and voice his/her opin-
ion in matters of the College.

An advisor has the responsibilities of:

1. Attending all club sponsored functions (includ-
ing field trips/conferences) or getting a suitable
replacement. Club functions will not be consid-
ered official without the advisor present and
individual members and the club will be held
responsible for unofficial acts undertaken in the
name of the College and/or club.

2. Ensuring that any club publication is approved
by the club advisor.

3. Approving and signing-off on all club expen-
ditures.

4. Keeping abreast of the work and progress of
the club.

5. Being a mediator when a problem arises that
hinders the club's progress.

6. Empowering students with information (College
and community) that will enable them to effec-
tively work together and make progress.

7. Maintaining a club ledger or working closely
with the treasurer to maintain records.

8. Checking to see that all officers meet GPA and
hours requirements and are not on disciplinary
probation.

9. Conferring with newly elected officers to orient
them to their responsibilities and the club con-
sfitufion.

10. Assisfing the club president in evaluating the
performance of the club and other members.
Remember, an advisor is there to do just that, advise.
They are first employees of the College and must
maintain those responsibilities in addition to personal
and professional development. Students are expected
to be responsible for the success of the organization
with input from the advisor.

Financial Regulations, Procedures

All financial transactions must be approved by the
advisor, president and treasurer of the club. The officers
and advisor of a student organization are responsible for
seeing that the group observes the financial policies and
procedures of the College and has the duty of informing
appointees of the purchasing regulations. The treasurer is

held responsible for collecting and depositing all funds in
the College Cashier's Office within 24 hours. She/he shares
with the president and the advisor the responsibility of
informing members of financial duties and of proper pur-
chasing procedures. All expenditures from club funds must
be approved by the organization, either by budget or by
motion, properly seconded and passed by majority vote
and signed-off by the advisor, president, and treasurer.

Purchasing Procedures at Edison
for Clubs/Organizations

Once a student organization is officially recognized
by the College, they are entitled to an account (Fund 6)
within the College. These funds are governed by the
College's Business Office and are accountable to certain
guidelines. Note: Student Organization accounts are not
interest generating.

I. Accounts and Statements

A club president, treasurer, or advisor need only con-
tact the Student Development Specialist and request
that an account be opened for that organization. Once
the account number is obtained, it is critical that your
organization list the correct account number with 1 1 place
holders-21 1 and club's name on all budget paperwork
(i.e., 55550000000-211). This is particularly impor-
tant since some account numbers have the same pre-
fix, but different suffix.

Monthly statements for all College accounts are
produced in the Business Office on the Lee Campus.
These statements are distributed to the budget admin-
istrator for the various accounts. Because the state-
ments arrive monthly, it is mandatory that club
treasurers and advisors maintain a ledger with all club
transactions. The budget administrator maintains
account ledgers for all clubs and organizations on
their prospective campuses. Club members and advi-
sors may feel free to compare their ledgers with the
budget administrator any time during the year.

The budget administrator's signature must be on all
budget paperwork before it can be approved. In addi-
tion to this, the club president, treasurer and advisor
must also validate the financial transaction with their
signatures. Note: The club advisor should be listed as
the College contact person for any student organiza-
tion's order placed with a vendor.

II. Budget Transactions

There are four budget transactions that clubs may use:

request for purchase, request for payment, petty cash

and deposits.

A. Request for Purchase: The REQUEST FOR
PURCHASE FORM can only be submitted for
vendors who accept the College's purchase order.
If a vendor will not accept a College purchase order,
contact the Purchasing Office for the name of a
comparable vendor who accepts purchase orders
and can provide the services or goods you desire.

Signatures of the president, treasurer, and advisor
must be on the form authorizing the transaction.
Submit the typed form to the budget administrator
for approval.

Note: Clubs cannot place an order with a vendor
without a purchase order number from the Pur-
chasing Office.

B. Petty Cash: Expenses totaling less than $25 may
be reimbursed immediately through petty cash.
Obtain a PETTY CASH FORM from the Cashier's
Office. Secure advisor's, president's and treasurer's
and budget administrator's signature, and submit
with a receipt attached, to the Cashier for reim-
bursement. A copy of the PETTY CASH FORM
must be returned to the Office of Student Develop-
ment for bookkeeping purposes.

C. Deposit Memos: Deposits can be made on any
campus through the Cashier in a matter of moments.
The Cashier's Office will provide all student orga-
nizations with DEPOSIT MEMOS. These may be
submitted to the Cashier with cash or checks for
deposit into club accounts. Checks must be made
out to the student organization and Edison Com-
munity College and possess the issuer's social
security number (if a student). One copy of the
DEPOSIT MEMO will be returned to the student
and the other kept at the Cashier's Office for the
Office of Student Development.

D. Request for Payment: The REQUEST FOR PAY-
MENT form may ONLY be used for travel expen-
ditures. Complete the REQUEST FOR PAYMENT
form and submit with supporting documents to the
Student Development Specialist. A check is nor-
mally ready within 2 weeks. The Business Office
will mail the check to the organization or release it
to a designee at the Cashier's Office.

The time line for the above mentioned budget transactions
is a strict one. All budget paperwork must be submitted to
the Office of Student Development for appropriate signa-
tures. Once approved and signed, the materials are then
forwarded to Accounts Payable or Purchasing. Any account
that has no financial activity for at least one year is deter-
mined to be inactive.

Travel Policies

There are several steps that a student organization must
complete before they can travel. Prior planning is the key
to a successful, safe and enjoyable off-campus excursion.
I. Travel Procedures and Paperwork

A. Travel Authorization Form: Students attending
ANY off-campus club sponsored event must sign
and submit a College TRAVEL AUTHORIZATION
FORM for the trip to be considered official. A
TRAVEL AUTHORIZATION FORM should be
completed & submitted to the Office of Student
Development prior to departure.

B. Code of the Road: The CODE OF THE ROAD
sets guidelines for club members on off- campus
excursions. All Edison student organizations are
responsible for using the CODE OF THE ROAD. It
should be read and signed by all trip attendees, then
submitted to the Office of Student Development
prior to departure. This form allows the student to
receive medical attention, emergency contact, and
informs the student that they are still held account-
able for adhering to the Student Code of Conduct
and Responsibility.
Regardless of how an organization reaches its trip destina-
tion, remember, that this is an outside- classroom learning
experience that you are allowed to attend. While learning,
networking and socializing are all important, certain safety
considerations must always be adhered to.

Transportation

Members of clubs may use rental vehicles, the College
bus, commercial transportation, or their personal vehicles
for club trips and conferences. However, there are certain
stipulations attached to all of these means of transportation
and paperwork to be completed.
I. College Vehicle: No student may drive a College

vehicle or rental vehicle on behalf of the College or

II.

any club unless that student is an employee of the
College. If the club advisor or supervisor asks a stu-
dent to drive a vehicle on behalf of the College, the
following must be done: (1) make a copy of the stu-
dent's Employment Authorization form and valid dri-
ver's license, (2) submit this to the Director of Student
Development or Student Development Specialist for
approval two weeks prior to departure. If the student
has permission of the Student Development Specialist
and the club advisor to drive his/her own vehicle (not
a rental or college vehicle) to a conference, the stu-
dent's own insurance should provide coverage. The
student must drive in "caravan" style with the advisor.
Public Transportation: Commercial transportation
includes air, train, bus and boat. Because students and
groups are often afforded discounts, the Student Devel-
opment Specialist and/or club advisor should always
be consulted prior to making any reservations. All
proper paperwork must be submitted before arrange-
ments are made. If transportation is provided by the
College bus or by a vehicle rented on a College pur-
chase order, non-students and non-College employees
are not covered under the College's insurance.

Student Code of Conduct and Responsibility

Each student, whether in day or evening classes,
part-time or full-time, is expected to be familiar with
the rules and regulations of the College pertaining to
academic affairs, social conduct, and student activities,
which are published in this Catalog. Each student is
responsible for conforming to the rules contained
herein in addition to avoiding violations of the follow-
ing specific offenses to the academic community.

FLORIDA STATUTES Section 240.3191; 240.3192:

POLICY REGARDING STUDENTS WITH HUMAN
IMMUNE DEFICIENCY VIRUS (HIV).

The following guidelines are established regarding
students with Human Immune deficiency Virus (HIV):

1 . DEFINITION: For the purposes of this policy, a student
with 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 AIDS
Related Complex (ARC) — debilitating symptoms
but no opportunistic infections; or

c. An individual who is diagnosed as having Acquired
Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) — display-
ing one or more opportunistic infections.

2. STUDENT RIGHTS: The College recognizes that the
rights of students with HIV to obtain education and
employment must be balanced against the rights of per-
sons without HIV who wish to be reasonably protected
from contracting the virus.

a. Both the Federal Vocational Rehabilitation Act of 1973
and the Florida Educational Equity Act prohibit dis-
crimination against persons with disabilities, and
students with HIV are classified as disabled.

b. Under most circumstances, students with HIV will
be afforded the same opportunities and benefits
afforded to non-disabled students, including, but not
limited to access to educational programs, counsel-
ing, student employment opportunities, and finan-
cial assistance.

c. Precautions will be provided to students in Allied
Health Programs and science laboratory classes.

d. Any student who reveals that he/she has HIV will be
afforded confidentiality in accordance with appro-
priate statutes and state law.

3. 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/she has HIV when applying for
admission to the College, although the student may
choose to reveal such data as part of the voluntary
health information shared with the College.

b. Furthermore, the College will not require serologi-
cal testing to determine if a student seeking admis-
sion has HIV.

4. ATTENDANCE, WITHDRAWAL, AND/OR SUSPEN-
SIONS: 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 accommoda-
tions due to illness (i.e., disability), the College will
acquire sufficient information about such disability
to make a determination regarding the requested
accommodations.

b. The College will not impose any rule(s) or restric-
tion(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 reason-
able accommodations have been examined or tried,
and after an examination of the facts demonstrates
to the College that the student can no longer func-
tion as necessary to meet the requirements of the
student's course or program, or that the student pre-
sents a health or safety risk to self or to the college
community.

5. HIV LIAISON: A person may be appointed by the
Provost on each campus to serve as a consultant to
members of the College community regarding the pol-
icy of the College in this area.

a. The appointed liaison will work directly with the
Dean of Student Services in all matters regarding
students with HIV, including hearings and develop-
ment of policy.

b. The appointed liaison will provide information and
education regarding HIV. This information will
include: mode of transmission; signs and symptoms;
precautions; appropriate attitude and behavior change;
and means used to control the spread of HIV. Edu-
cation programs and Health Fairs will be the pri-
mary vehicle of information disseminations.

c. Any student wishing to request special accommoda-
tions should contact the Dean of Student Services.

Educational Equity Act. Sexual harassment can be verbal,
visual, or physical. It can be overt or consist of persistent,
unwanted attempts to change a professional relationship to
a personal one.

Sexual harassment can range from inappropriate put-
downs of individual persons, unwelcome sexual flirtations,
or more serious abuses. It is coercive and threatening, and
it creates an atmosphere that is not conducive to teaching,
learning, or working.

1 . Harassment, intimidation of staff or students, or allow-
ing suggestions to be made that sexual favors may have
an effect on status will not be tolerated by Edison Com-
munity College. If an employee or student becomes

a. Staff members should notify their immediate super-
visor and/or the Provost.

b. Students should notify the Dean of Student Services.

2. Unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors,
and other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature
constitutes sexual harassment when:

a. Submission to such conduct is made either explic-
itly or implicitly a term or condition of an individ-
ual's employment or education;

b. Submission to or rejection of such conduct by an
individual is used as the basis for the employment or
academic decisions affecting such individual; or

c. Such conduct has the purpose or effect of unreason-
ably interfering with an individual's work perfor-
mance or academic or professional performance or
creating an intimidating hostile, or offensive work-
ing or educational environment.

3. Appropriate disciplinary action will be taken against
any employee who violates this Policy against sexual
harassment. Based on the seriousness of the offense,
disciplinary action may include verbal or written repri-
mand, suspension, or termination

4. Certain actions determined by the President may require
action on the part of the board of trustees, depending
upon the nature of the offense(s) and/or the severity of
the action to be taken. In such ca.ses, the President will
recommend appropriate action to the Board at the next
regular Board Meeting following his communication to
the parties.

5. Retaliatory action against anyone filing a complaint of
any type of discrimination, including sexual harass-
ment, will not be tolerated. The designee of the President,

while attempting to investigate and mediate any sexual
harassment claim, may establish safeguards against
retaliation as deemed necessary.

soon as possible. The Director of Human Resources is
designated to serve as the victim advocate.

Security Policies and Statistics

Campus safety and security measures must be com-
municated and understood by all students and employees

employment practices, provision of services and access to
College facilities and programs. Edison Community College
assumes the Department of Labor's definition of a disabled
individual as "one who ( 1 ) has a physical or mental impair-
ment which substantially limits one or more of such per-
son's life activities; (2) has a record of such impairment; or
(3) is regarded as having had an impairment."

Empioyment

Edison Community College does not discriminate in
hiring, review, promotion, discharge, or other aspects of
employment, against any applicant or employee with a dis-
ability, on the basis of that person's disability, if the person
is qualified and able to perform the "essential functions" of
the job with reasonable accommodation. Edison provides
all disabled employees with equal or equivalent access to
all benefits of employment, in an integrated setting, that
would be available to a similarly situated employee, unless
doing so would be an undue hardship.

Programs, Services and Facilities

Edison Community College is committed to the require-
ment of making all programs, services and facilities "acces-
sible to" and "usable by" persons with disabilities. Efforts
include ensuring that exisfing facilities are readily accessi-
ble to or usable by individuals with disabilities through
structural changes in facilities or through other methods
that are equally effective, to make services, programs, or
acfivifies accessible; eliminating eligibility criteria that
screen out individuals with disabilifies or any class of indi-
viduals with disabilities from fully and equally enjoying
any service, program or activity unless these criteria are
shown to be necessary for the provision of the service, pro-
gram or activity being offered; administering services, pro-
grams and activities in the most integrated setting
appropriate to the needs of qualified individuals with dis-
abilities; and taking appropriate steps to ensure that com-
municadons with applicants, participants and members of
the public who are disabled are as effective as communi-
cations with others, including the furnishing of appropriate
auxiliary aids and services.

Persons with disabilities are responsible for request-
ing services.

Edison is responsible to notify students, faculty, and
staff of services available. This is accomplished by listing
services in publications such as this Catalog, faculty hand-
book, pamphlets, and at orientation programs for staff
and students.

Telephones for hearing impaired individuals can be
accessed in several ways:

Edison TTY line: on campus - #1093

off campus - 489-9093

The ADA Coordinator

In compliance with the Americans with Disabilities
Act, the College has designated the Director of Human
Resources as the ADA Coordinator. The Coordinator may
be reached at 489-9294 or, in person, in the Human Resources
office located in the Learning Resources Building on the
Lee County Campus. The Coordinator will oversee and
coordinate the College's efforts to comply with and carry
out its responsibilities pertaining to the Act and will serve
as the contact person for all ADA and information resource
policies, procedures and concerns, bringing information
before the ADA committee to be acted upon as necessary
and appropriate.

The ADA Grievance Process

Guidelines for filing an ADA complaint:

Edison Community College reaffirms the principle of
Equal Access/Equal Opportunity regardless of race, creed,
color, national origin, religion, sex, age, disability, and
marital status. The equal opportunity principle applies to
otherwise qualified disabled persons with regard to employ-
ment, the delivery of educational programs and services and
all other appropriate areas in which the College is involved.

Section 6H6:2.06 of the Edison Community College
District Board of Trustees Policy Manual clearly outlines
the College's policy prohibiting discrimination. Further-
more, the College's policy of non-discriminafion complies
with the regulations set forth in Section 504 of the Rehabil-
itation Act of 1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Act
of 1990.

Procedure for filing an ADA grievance

The purpose of the grievance procedure is to provide
a means to mediate a fair and equitable solution to a
complaint alleging discrimination based upon disability, or
in violation of the rules and regulations prohibiting dis-
crimination as outlined in the ADA.

Any person who feels they have been discriminated
against based upon disability or in violation of ADA guide-
lines may contact the Director of Human Resources, the

Human Resources Office, or the campus Provost, for infor-
mation and assistance. The Director of Human Resources
serves as the Coordinator for the ADA Grievance Process.

Employees

Any Edison employee alleging discrimination based
upon disability, and/or in violation of ADA guidelines
should notify his/her immediate supervisor. If the com-
plaint is against the immediate supervisor, the next
higher level supervisor should be contacted. An employee
may contact either the campus Provost or the Director
of Human Resources for counseling and advice.

Students

Students alleging discriminaUon based upon disabil-
ity, and/or in violation of the ADA guidelines may
contact the Dean of Student Service (or designee), or
the ADA Coordinator.

Informal/Formal Grievance Procedure

Edison employees or students may file a grievance for
violation of ADA guidelines by filing one of the following
complaints:

1. Informal process involving discussion between the
immediate parties involved

2. Edison formal grievance complaint

3. (Outside agency) Department of Justice (Department
of Justice will refer complaints for which it does not
have jurisdiction under Section 504 to the appropriate
agency.)

The time limits established for filing the grievance are
the same as those already established as set forth in the
Edison Community College Employment and Personnel
Operating Procedures Manual.

When appropriate, the time frame for filing a griev-
ance as established under Section 35. 1 70 of the ADA guide-
lines may apply.

Students with disabilities wishing to petition for Sub-
stitution Admission and Graduation Requirements should
submit academic petition to the Office of the Registrar.

PROGRAMS

STUDY

PROGRAMS OF STUDY

The two types of programs offered by Edison Community College are degree programs and certificate pro-
grams. The degree programs are the Associate in Arts, which is oriented toward continuing in higher education, and
the Associate in Science degree, which is job-oriented. The degree programs normally take two years to complete.
The certificate programs are usually one year in length and teach students the skills necessary for employment in
specialized areas. The objective of the degree programs is to provide students with as much general education as
possible, while that of the certificate programs is to limit courses to an area of specialization.

ADMISSION/ACADEMIC STANDARD
NURSING (ASSOCIATE IN SCIENCE DEGREE)

The Associate in Science Degree in Nursing prepares the
student to take the licensure examination (NCLEX-RN) adminis-
tered by the State Board of Nursing for Florida, and upon suc-
cessful completion of the examination, be licensed as a Registered
Nurse in the State of Florida. The Edison Community College
nursing program is fully approved by the Florida Board of Nurs-
ing and accredited by the National League for Nursing.

The philosophy of the Associate Degree program is that:

1. Nursing is a profession with a body of knowledge derived
from nursing concepts, principles, and skills, and the bio-
logical, social, and behavioral sciences.

2. Nursing is a caring, service-oriented profession accountable
to the client, the community, and the profession.

3. The practice of the associate degree graduate is based on
three interrelated roles: (1) provider of care; (2) manager of
care; and (3) member of the discipline of nursing.

The nursing program has limited enrollment. Each nursing
applicant must meet the application criteria. The selection process
has been established by the Department of Nursing and the Nursing
Advisory Committee. Applicants with the best qualifications will
be invited to join the nursing program.

The A.D.N, program is comprised of general education
courses as well as clinical nursing courses. The curriculum incor-
porates classroom instruction, laboratory simulation, and clinical
practice. Area health facilities are utilized, including various clin-
ics and nursing homes. Two possibilities for program completion
are: the Basic Program (Generic), or the Advanced Placement
Program. Students are admitted to the Basic Program (Generic)
on the Lee campus once a year in the Fall Semester. Students are
admitted to the Advanced Placement Program on the Collier and
Charlotte campuses in the Fall Semester, and the Lee campus in
the Spring Semester.

The Nursing program is a limited access program. The cri-
teria for admission are available through the program office or
through the Health/Science Division.

LICENSURE REQUIREMENTS

If an applicant has been convicted, had any adjudication
withheld, or has any criminal charges pending other than a minor
traffic violation, the applicant must make arrangements with the
Florida Board of Nursing for permission to take the licensure
examination upon completion of the program.

Fees and a physical exam are required by the Florida Board
of Nursing I'or the Licensure Examination.

ADMISSION/ACADEMIC STANDARDS

A student must earn a minimum grade of "C" or above in all
general education courses required in the Nursing Program. Any
course with a grade of "D" or below must be repeated and will
not count towards admission. An academic average of "C" or
higher and a grade of "Pass" in the clinical portion must be earned
in each nursing course in order to continue in the nursing pro-
gram. Satisfactory completion of the 72 semester hours of approved
credit with a grade of "C" or higher is required to graduate.

Distance Learning

Telecourses

Telecourses combine televised lessons, related reading
assignments, on campus review opportunities and minimal
required on-campus sessions for orientation, discussion,
labs, and examinations. Courses offered are equivalent to
on-campus courses in content, credit and fees. No distinc-
tion is made between a telecourse and a traditional course
on an official Edison Community College transcript. An
Edison professor is assigned to each course.

TV courses are broadcast on WGCU-TV, channel 3 on
all cable systems. Tapes are also available for checkout
through Learning Resources on Lee, Collier and Charlotte
campuses, and through the Coordinator for Hendry and
Glades counties.

Course offerings vary from term to term and are listed
in the current class schedule and the telecourse flyer. See
your academic advisor for more information.

Continuing Education

Continuing Education is a unique dimension of Edison
Community College which provides a variety of credit-
free programs for all interests and age groups. Understand-
ing that learning is a lifelong experience, Continuing
Education provides activities and courses conducted with-
out the pressure of tests, grades or home assignments.
These programs provide an informal and inexpensive means
for self-improvement. Programs are offered in the form of
workshops, seminars or classes that may vary from one
day to several weeks in duration. Career development,
activities for children and topics specifically aimed toward
concerns of the elderly are some of the many areas which
the Continuing Education Division reaches. For further
information regarding teaching or attending these activities
or to share ideas for the development of future programs,
please contact the Continuing Education office staff at
489-9235 or 9236.

THE INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT DEVEL-
OPMENT (IMD) Is the business and industry service
center of Edison Community College. IMD specializes in
practical and effective training for owners, managers and
employees. Seminars, workshops, courses and conferences
are custom-designed and offered on site or as open pro-
grams at various sites. Call or write and a representative
will come to your office to discuss your needs with no
obligation. A consultant/trainer experienced in the area of
your training/research need will then be chosen. A pro-
posal will be offered which includes the cost of the total
package. Before the project begins, the consultant will
meet with you to determine the results you expect. These
services are available in the five-county area served by
Edison Community College.

THE INSTITUTE OF BUSINESS (lOB) is a new

component of IMD which will provide management assis-
tance to business owners/operators. The lOB helps busi-
nesses become more productive and profitable by addressing
key issues critical to the success of the business such as:

Planning/Marketing

Accounting/Taxes

Credit and Collections

Family Business Issues

Special Interest Topics

THE FLORIDA INSTITUTE OF GOVERNMENT
(lOG) was established in 1981 with its primary purpose
being to support research, training and technical assistance
which responds to problem solving in state and local gov-
ernment. The Institute is administratively assigned to Florida
State University, but currently has six state universities and
four community colleges as members to the consortium. At
Edison Community College, the Institute of Government

has been part of the Division of Continuing Education
since 1984. The Institute is a participant member of the
Southwest Florida League of Cities and the Florida City
and County Managers Association.

THE INSTITUTE OF HEALTH PROFESSION-
ALS (lOH) offers relicensure courses for nurses and Health
Professionals through the Division of Continuing Education.
Continuing Education courses are available to RN's, LPN's,
EMT's, Respiratory Care Therapists, Laboratory and Radio-
logical technologists to help earn contact hours for relicen-
sure. This gives the licensed nurse working in health care
agencies, as well as those nurses desiring to keep current
in health related issues, short courses at low cost. These
courses also offer the opportunity for licensed nurses to earn
contact hours for relicensure (Provider Number 27C0388)
as required by the Florida State Board of Nursing.

LIFELONG LEARNING COURSES are those
designed to improve an individual's competencies and/or
enhance their quality of life. A minimal fee is usually
charged; the courses are open to all adults. They are
offered at various community sites and on campus. These
courses can be identified in the Continuing Education class
brochure by the prefix LLL.

TELECONFERENCES are the newest dimension in
Edison's Continuing Education capabilities. The Lee County
campus has been designated by the Florida State Depart-
ment of Education as one of 40 receiving sites in the state
for the Florida Satellite Network. It allows the college to
receive video communications from around the state and
the nation. Several rooms on campus are equipped to receive
the programs.

COLLEGE FOR KIDS programs are designed to
inspire, delight and expand young people's potentials and
heighten their imaginations. These individual courses are
open to youngsters from first grade through ninth grade
and will include courses in computers, science, acting, art,
sculpture, juggling, magic and much, much more. Red
Cross baby sitting and CPR classes will be offered to
young teens along with wardrobe and etiquette workshops.

CONTINUING EDUCATION UNITS

One CEU is defined as 10 contact hours of participation
in an organized Continuing Education experience under
responsible sponsorships, capable direction, and qualified
instruction. CEU's are not academic semester or quarter hour
credits. One unit is awarded for each 10 hours of instruc-
tion, with decimal units given for portions of that time.
Certificates are awarded, permanent college records are main-
tained and verification of participation can be requested.

Course Information

FLORIDA'S STATEWIDE COURSE
NUMBERING SYSTEM

Courses in this catalog are identified by prefixes and
numbers that were assigned by Florida's Statewide Course
Numbering System. This common numbering system is used
by all public postsecondary institutions in Florida and by
two participating private institutions. The major purpose of
this system is to facilitate the transfer of courses between
participating institutions.

Each participating institution controls the title, credit,
and content of its own courses and assigns the first digit of
the course number to indicate the level at which students
normally take the course. Course prefixes and the last three
digits of the course numbers are assigned by members of
faculty discipline committees appointed for that purpose
by the Florida department of Education in Tallahassee.
Individuals nominated to serve on these committees are
selected to maintain a representative balance as to type of
institution and discipline field or specialization.

The course prefix and each digit in the course number
have meaning in the Statewide Course Numbering System
(SCNS). The list of course prefixes and numbers, along
with their generic titles, is referred to as the "SCNS taxon-
omy." Descriptions of the content of courses are referred to
as "course equivalency profiles."

General Rule for Course Equivalencies

Equivalent courses at different institutions are identi-
fied by the same prefixes and same last three digits of the
course number and are guaranteed to be transferable between
the participating institutions that offer the course, with a
few exceptions. (Exceptions are listed below.)

For example, a survey course in social problems is
offered by 31 different postsecondary institutions. Each
institution uses "SYG _010" to identify its social problems
course. The level code is the first digit and represents the
year in which students normally take this course at a spe-
cific institution. In the SCNS taxonomy, "SYG" means
"Sociology, General," the century digit "0" represents
"Entry-Level General Sociology," the decade digit "1" rep-
resents "Survey Course," and the unit digit "0" represents
"Social Problems."

In science and other areas, a "C" or "L" after the course
number is known as a lab indicator. The "C" represents a
combined lecture and laboratory course that meets in the
same place at the same time. The "L" represents a labora-
tory course or the laboratory part of a course, having the
same prefix and course number without a lab indicator,
which meets at a different time or place.

Transfer of any successfully completed course from
one participating institution to another is guaranteed in cases
where the course to be transferred is offered by the receiv-
ing institution and is identified by the same prefix and last
three digits at both institutions. For example, SYG 1010 is
offered at a community college. The same course is offered
at a state university as SYG 2010. A student who has suc-
cessfully completed SYG 1010 at the community college
is guaranteed to receive transfer credit for SYG 2010 at the

state university if the student transfers. The student cannot
be required to take SYG 2010 again since SYG 1010 is
equivalent to SYG 2010. Transfer credit must be awarded
for successfully completed equivalent courses and used by
the receiving institution to determine satisfaction of
requirements by transfer students on the same basis as
credit awarded to native students. It is the prerogative of
the receiving institution, however, to offer transfer credit
for courses successfully completed which have not been
designated as equivalent.

Sometimes, as in Chemistry, a sequence of one or
more courses must be completed at the same institution in
order for the courses to be transferable to another institu-
tion, even if the course prefix and numbers are the same.
This information is contained in the individual SCNS course
equivalency profiles for each course in the sequence.

The Course Prefix

The course prefix is a three-letter designator for a
major division of an academic discipline, subject matter area,
or sub-category of knowledge. The prefix is not intended
to identify the department in which a course is offered.
Rather, the content of a course determines the assigned
prefix used to identify the course.

Authority for Acceptance of Equivalent Courses

State Board of Education Rule 6A. 1 0.024( 17), Rorida Admin-
istrative Code, reads:

When a student transfers among institutions that par-
ticipate in the common course designation and numbering
system, the receiving institution shall award credit for
courses satisfactorily completed at the previous participat-
ing institutions when the courses are judged by the appro-
priate common course designation and numbering system
faculty task forces to be equivalent to courses offered at the
receiving institutions and are entered in the course num-
bering system. Credit so awarded can be used by transfer
students to satisfy requirements in these institutions on the
same basis as native students.

Exceptions to the General Rule for Equivalency

The following courses are exceptions to the general rule
for course equivalencies and may not be transferable. Transfer-
ability is at the discretion of the receiving institution:

A. Courses in the _900-_999 series (e.g., ART 2905)

B. Internships, practica, clinical experiences, and
study abroad courses

C. Performance or studio courses in Art, Dance,
Theater, and Music

D. Skills courses in Criminal Justice

E. Graduate courses

College preparatory and vocational preparatory courses
may not be used to meet degree requirements and are not
transferable.

Questions about the Statewide Course Numbering System
and appeals regarding course credit transfer decisions should
be directed to the Office of the Provost, Lee County Campus
at Edison Community College.

likely to become full-time have third priority.
