COLLEGE BACKGROUND
The College
Broward Community College provides higher educa-
tion and technical and occupational training for the
citizens of Broward County, its district by law. As the
first public higher education institution in the county,
Broward Community College functions as the principal
provider of undergraduate higher education for the
residents of Broward County. As one of the twenty-
eight community colleges in the Florida system,
Broward Community College is designed to be a com-
munity-based institution that offers a comprehensive
range of programs responsive to changes in the com-
munity and in technology. Where appropriate, these
programs are articulated with the public school system,
area vocational schools, and upper-level institutions to
insure that students can move smoothly from one sys-
tem to another.
History
In 1959 the Florida State Legislature authorized the
establishment of the Junior College of Broward Coun-
ty. With the appointment of a local Advisory
Committee under State Board of Education Regula-
tions in October of that year, the College began to
develop. Dr. Joe B. Rushing undertook his respon-
sibilities as the first President on April 7, 1960. The
following Autumn, with an enrollment of 701 students,
the College opened its doors in buildings formerly used
by the Naval Air Station at the Fort Lauderdale/Hol-
lywood International Airport. From this beginning, the
College has experienced solid growth in facilities, num-
ber of students, and quality of programs. When the first
permanent building was completed in August 1963, the
College moved to its present Central Campus location
on Southwest Davie Road in Davie.
Through this wide variety of degree and certificate
programs and continuing education courses, the Col-
lege attracts a great diversity of students, including
individuals planning to complete a bachelor's degree
program, people seeking to acquire job-entry skills,
employees desiring to upgrade skills for promotion or
career change, and individuals seeking education for
their personal enrichment. From high school students
who enroll in a course to accelerate their college educa-
tion, to retirees who return to education after decades
devoted to other pursuits, a multitude of age groups is
represented at Broward Community College. These
culturally diverse students span the learning spectrum
from developmental to gifted. The College's programs
and services are designed to serve the community by
meeting the higher education needs of all these in-
dividuals.
Serving as the principal entry level institution for higher
education in its district, the College is also a source of
cultural enrichment; a resource for community
development, business, and industry; and an avenue for
continued skill upgrading and enhancement and
retraining. As a public comprehensive community col-
lege, the College serves well its role as a significant
segment of America's higher education effort.
The College District Board of Trustees, the legal
governing body for the operation of the College, serves
as a corporate body with all powers necessary and
proper for governance and operation. Trustees are ap-
pointed by the Governor, approved by the State Board
of Education, and confirmed by the Florida State
Senate. The College operates under statutory authority
and rules of the State Board of Education. The State
Board of Community Colleges, which is subject to the
overall supervision of the State Board of Education, is
responsible for state- wide leadership in overseeing and
coordinating the individually governed public com-
munity colleges. Operational funding for college
programs is provided by state appropriation and stu-
dent fees. Construction and building maintenance
funds are provided through state-wide capital outlay
bonds, not through local property taxes.
Dr. Rushing resigned as President in 1965. His succes-
sor was Dr. Myron Blee. Dr. A. Hugh Adams became
the third President, assuming his duties on April 15,
1968. In May 1968, to be compatible with State ter-
minology, the College changed its name to Broward
Junior College. In July, the Florida Legislature, in
special session, withdrew the State Junior Colleges
from governance by the Boards of Public Instruction.
Thus, the Advisory Board of Broward Junior College
became the governing District Board of Trustees. In
September 1970, the Board changed the name of the
college to Broward Community College - a name that
more aptly represents the comprehensive nature of the
College's programs.
The College has several centers and numerous off-cam-
pus facilities. The Downtown Center is the site of the
College's administrative offices. The North Area Of-
fice of Business and Industry Services, on W.
Commercial Boulevard in Fort Lauderdale, provides
classes and counseling/advisement. Tigertail Lake, on
Ravenswood Road in Fort Lauderdale, is leased from
the County for various instructional and recreational
purposes.
Currently, Broward Community College has three
main campuses. After Dr. Adams announced his intent
to retire on December 31, 1986, Central Campus was
renamed the A. Hugh Adams Central Campus in his
honor. In addition to the A. Hugh Adams Central
Campus on Southwest Davie Road in Davie, the
College has a North Campus on Coconut Creek
Boulevard in Coconut Creek, and the Judson A.
Samuels South Campus on Hollywood Boulevard in
Pembroke Pines. The Center for Health Science has its
administrative offices on Southwest Davie Road, but
offers courses at each of the other three locations.
With the retirement of Dr. Adams, the District Board
of Trustees appointed Dr. Willis N. Holcombe Presi-
dent, effective January 1, 1987. Extensive renovation of
the district administrative offices during the early
1990's expanded the instructional activity at the
Downtown Center. During 1994-95, the campuses
renovated existing facilities to make more college build-
Processes and Procedures

ings and services accessible to students with disabilities.
By Term I, 1995-1996, the first phase of the expansion
of the library on Central Campus was completed and
that portion of the building opened to students. That
same term, the Center for Health Sciences Education
initiated its physical therapy assistant distance educa-
tion program via an interactive video hookup with
Edison Community College. Collegewide head count
enrollment that term numbered 28,904. These students
were taught by 340 full-time faculty and over 500 part-
time faculty.
The College has been conducting study/travel tours to
foreign countries since 1974. With the establishment of
the Division of International/Intercultural Education in
1977, the College offers students the opportunity to
study for a semester in various countries, including
Spain, England, and Israel.
Broward Community College, beginning with a small
university-parallel program, has expanded its curricula
to include many technical and occupational programs.
Additional university-parallel courses are offered at
numerous locations in Broward County as well as
several locations internationally.
Philosophy
As an institution committed to the ideal of the worth
and dignity of the individual, Broward Community Col-
lege recognizes the religious, racial, and cultural
diversity of its students and staff and endeavors to
provide equal educational opportunity for all students.
Furthermore, the College fosters the value of lifelong
learning as it strives through teaching excellence to
enable students to appreciate knowledge and to ac-
quire an education which will assist them in assuming
positive roles in a changing society. Believing that edu-
cated people should be guided in their behavior by
decency and civility, the College values honesty, in-
tegrity, and social responsibility among both its staff
and its students. Furthermore, it aspires to empower
students with the critical thinking and problem-solving
skills, global perspective, clarified values, and creativity
that will enable them to make moral choices and ethical
decisions in all aspects of their lives. In addition, the
College embraces a commitment to American
democratic values and culture, the principles of respon-
sible citizenship, life enrichment, and self-awareness.
Mission
The mission of Broward Community College is to pro-
vide all segments of the community with academic and
technical educational opportunities through both tradi-
tional and progressive programs. Of primary
importance in delivering these educational programs is
the commitment to quality instruction delivered by a
dedicated faculty engaged in continued professional
growth.
As it fulfills its mission, the College is committed to
responding to the cultural diversity of Broward County
as the area expands. In support of its open-door policy,
the College provides a variety of delivery systems and
instructional modes to enable students to prepare for
the future in accordance with their own individual
abilities, needs, and interests. The College is also com-
mitted to providing special academic support services
to the disabled. In its role as an institution of higher
education and in its efforts to be a premiere teaching
institution, Broward Community College is dedicated
to fulfilling the following major functions:
1. To serve as an entry-point for baccalaureate degree
programs by providing the first two years of a four-

and global perspectives; communication and com-
putation skills; the sciences; an appreciation of the
humanities; and physical fitness.

variety of specific programs in the general areas of
business and management, the health sciences, the
engineering and industrial technologies, and public

education activities to meet the needs of business,
industry, the professions, and government. To en-
hance employee skills while also serving individuals
seeking to maintain their competencies, upgrade
their skills, change occupations, or enrich their lives
through lifelong learning programs.
4. To provide college-preparatory instruction for
those students who need to enhance their basic
academic skills prior to attempting college-level

perspectives that will enable them to function effec-
tively in a multicultural environment and in an

college program. Program policies and procedures are
further described in joint articulation agreements avail-
able with guidance counselors. All high school
applicants must obtain written approval on a special
form from their principal, guidance director, and
parent(s) (or guardian). When public high school
credits are concurrently satisfied by dual enrollment
and early admission, the student's application and
matriculation fees maybe waived by articulation agree-
ment. Credits are also awarded for certain scores on
national examinations.
Dual Enrollment/Early Admission/Credit
in Escrow
Dual Enrollment - Superior high school junior and
senior students who have an unweighted overall grade
point average of 3.0 or higher, may be admitted as dual
enrollment students. Credit is earned for college and
applied toward the high school diploma.
Early Admission - Superior high school senior students
who have an unweighted overall grade point average of
at least 3.0 may be granted admittance to the early
admission program. Such students will be enrolled full
time as a college student during their senior year of high
school. Students must complete two consecutive terms
of at least 12 college level credit hours each with an
average grade of "C" or higher, in order to receive their
high school diploma.
Credit in Escrow - Superior high school students who
have an unweighted overall grade point average of at
least 3.0 may be permitted to enroll for a maximum of
six semester hours of college courses each term to add
depth or breadth to their academic programs. Such
credits will not be used to satisfy high school diploma
requirements and the student will pay appropriate fees
and for textbooks. Written authorization from the prin-
cipal, guidance director, and parent(s) (or guardian) is
required. Earned college credits will be held in escrow
until the student graduates from high school.
Students enrolled in the above program acceleration
options must, upon completion of high school, provide
final high school transcripts. If they desire to continue
at Broward Community College, they must file a re-
entry application to change their admissions status and
to establish their educational goals.
International Baccalaureate Program (IB)
Students who successfully complete the International
Baccalaureate examination with grades of 4 or higher
will be granted credit toward an Associate Degree at
Broward Community College. An official EB transcript
is required and must be received direcdy from the
International Baccalaureate Office in New York.
Awarded credit will appear on the student's permanent
record as earned credit only, without any indication of
grades or quality points. Evaluation of IB examinations
are made after the student has been admitted to the
college.
Advanced Placement
The College cooperates fully with accredited high
schools and colleges in the Advanced Placement Pro-
gram of the College Entrance Examination Board.
Advanced Placement courses are available to juniors
and seniors in most Broward County high Schools. To
qualify for college credit, students must earn a score of
3 or higher on the nationally administered exam in May.
Credits will not be awarded for examinations that dupli-
cate course work or other exam credits previously
posted to a student's academic record. In order to

College Level Examination Program
The College-Level Examination Program (CLEP) is a
series of tests developed by ETS (Educational Testing
Service) and offered at test centers throughout the
country to enable students to demonstrate their com-
petency in certain subjects and thereby earn college
credit for particular courses without attending classes
At Broward Community College, students achieving at
or above 50th percentile, based on pre 1978 norms, on
selected CLEP GENERAL or SUBJECT EXAMINA-
TIONS may receive credit in the appropriate subject
areas, up to a maximum of 30 credits.
Students seeking CLEP credit at Broward Community
College must be admitted to the college and must name
the college as a score recipient and list the College's
CLEP Code Number 5074.
CLEP tests are administered at Broward Community
College two times each year, in October and April.
Students are notified by mail of the course(s) and
credits for which they are eligible and this information
is recorded on the students' permanent academic
records. Students are awarded credits only; they are
not given letter grades in CLEP courses, and CLEP
courses are not included in the GPA.
CLEP credit cannot duplicate regular college course
credit already earned.
CLEP registration guides, which include application
forms, are available in the Counseling/ Advising areas
on each campus. These Registration Guides also con-
tain other pertinent information such as detailed
instructions for completing the application, test fees,
dates on which these tests are given, and the method for
reporting scores. This Registration Guide should be
studied carefully before applying to take the CLEP
tests.
The CLEP tests are offered in addition to the BCC
Experiential Learning Program, which provides for the
assessment of learning and awarding of credit for many
other BCC courses.

Processes and Procedures
29
Experiential Learning
The Experiential Learning Program, developed
primarily for working adults, is designed to recognize
the academic value of what you have learned through
your experiences outside the college classroom. This
learning - referred to as prior experiential learning -
may result from such activities as work experience,
employment-related training programs and seminars,
volunteer work, travel, military service or intensive self-
directed study. In short, it is a' way of recognizing your
learning regardless of the circumstances under which it
was acquired.
What is meant by assessment?
Assessment refers to the process used to determine
what and how much you know. Your assessment may
involve one or more of the following:
-written or performance tests
-the preparation of a portfolio which describes your
learning and how it was acquired
-the evaluation of your certificates and licenses
-interviews with faculty members.
The method of assessment is decided upon by the
college faculty members responsible for the courses for
which you wish to receive credit.
Note: Keep in mind that not all Broward Com-
munity College courses are assessment courses.
That is, even though you may feel that you have the
appropriate background and knowledge, the par-
ticular course for which you wish to be evaluated
may not be available for this purpose.
What can be gained from this assessment
process?
Credit which you receive can provide you with a head
start toward your academic goal, whether it is a Certifi-
cate, an Associate's Degree, a Bachelor's Degree or
beyond. Instead of relearning what you already know,
you will be able to concentrate your time and energy on
learning what you do not yet know.
If you are planning to attend classes part-time, perhaps
during the evening, this program may enable you to
achieve your educational goal within a reasonable time,
while still maintaining your home and work respon-
sibilities.
What are the steps in the assessment
process?
1. After being accepted by the College through the
College Registrar's Office, decide on your
academic program with the help of a counselor.
2. Apply for assessment by completing the necessary
forms available at the Office of Experiential Learn-
ing.
3. Consult with the Experiential Learning Coordinator
who will help you to determine the courses for
which you may choose to seek academic credit. This
usually requires that you closely examine the course
descriptions in the College catalog. In this "catalog
search" you may find several course descriptions
which you react to by saying "I know that" or "I can
already do what that course is designed to teach".
4. Discuss your responsibilities in the assessment
process. For instance, you may be instructed to:
-meet with a specified instructor for an oral or
written examination.
-prepare for a written exam by reviewing textbooks.
-inform your employer that an instructor will be
visiting you at your work site.
-bring Certificates and Licenses to the Experiential
Learning Coordinator so that they can be
authenticated.
5. Pay necessary fees. You pay for the assessment
process and not the credit. It is possible that you
may not receive academic credit in all of the areas
requested, but the cost of assessment remains the
The assessment process may take from several hours to
several months, depending upon the amount of credit
requested and methods of assessment required. When
the process is completed, results will be forwarded to
the Experiential Learning Coordinator, who will then
inform the College Registrar's Office of the amount of
credit granted and entered on your transcript; failure
to receive credit will not be noted on your transcript.
Note: A maximum of 8 hours of the residency require-
ment may be satisfied through Experiential Learning.
Armed Services Educational Credits
Broward Community College will grant credit for
military education that has been evaluated and recom-
mended as suitable for post-secondary credit by the
American Council on Education's Guide to the Evalua-
tion of Educational Experiences in the Armed Services.
After enrollment in the College, a student may initiate
the request to the College Registrar for such credit by
providing appropriate documentation as determined
by the College. Contact the advisor for military educa-
tion on any BCC campus.
RE-ENTRY/CHANGE OF
PROGRAM
Any student who previously attended Broward Com-
munity College and who has not been in attendance for
two or more major terms, must submit a Re-Entry
Application to update personal data, re-certify Florida
residency and to verify educational goals. If the return-
ing student requests a change from non-resident status,
a petition for reclassification must be filed with the
College Registrar. If the student has attended another
institution in the interim period, an official transcript
must be submitted from that college or university with
30
Broward Community College 1998-99 Catalog
the Re-entry Application. The applicant must be in
good academic standing at the last college attended at
the time of enrollment at BCC. There is no fee for the
re-admission application.
If a Broward Community College student desires to
change educational goals and switch from a non-de-
gree, A. A. degree, or A.S. degree program to another
program, that student must submit a Re-Entry Applica-
tion and see an advisor. Other information, such as
transcripts, may be required.
TRANSIENT STUDENTS
Students attending other postsecondary institutions
who wish to earn credits to transfer back to those
institutions may be admitted to the College as transient
students for one term. It is recommended that these
students present an official statement from the institu-
tion they have been attending which certifies that they
are in good standing, and that the credits they earn at
Broward Community College will be accepted as part
of their programs. These students are not required to
submit transcripts of their previous college credits.
TRANSFER STUDENTS
1. Transfer students who plan to earn a degree or
certificate at Broward Community College must
provide official transcripts from all previously at-
tended colleges or universities. Such transcripts
should be sent to Broward Community College
prior to the start of the term of enrollment, but no
later than thirty (30) days after the start of classes.
2. An official evaluation of credit course trans-
ferability is made after the student is admitted to the
College. All official transcripts from previously at-
tended institutions must be received before an
official evaluation is completed. Transfer credits
may be accepted only from other colleges or univer-
sities that are accredited by one of the Regional
Accrediting Associations.
3. Courses listed on official transcripts that are not
parallel with courses listed in the College Catalog
will be evaluated, and credit may be granted as
approved by the College Registrar.
4. Previously earned credits and grades may trans-
fer in but may not be accepted for a specific degree
program. All grades from other colleges are com-
puted in the cumulative grade point average at
BCC, including failing grades at previous colleges.
5. Failure to report previous college-level work
attempted constitutes a falsification of application
and subjects applicant to loss of all credits earned
and may result in dismissal .
6. Transfer students on suspension or dismissal at the
time of their actual enrollment at BCC will aol be
admitted to Broward Community College for up to
one year if they are not eligible for re-admission to
the institution where they last attended. Student
appeal process is by petition. See an Advisor.
7. An applicant who was not in good standing at the
last institution attended will be treated in the same
manner as if he/she was suspended or dismissed
from Broward Community College. See Academic
Regulations.
8. Credits earned in another college during suspen-
sion/dismissal from Broward Community College
will not be honored at Broward Community Col-
lege.
9. Transfer students, who have already completed an
A. A. or baccalaureate degree at another college or
university, cannot enroll in an A. A. degree program
at BCC.

12 months immediately prior to the applicant's
qualification. The applicant must have resided
continuously with such relative for the 5 years
immediately prior to the applicant's qualifica-
tion. The adult relative must have exercised
day-to-day care, supervision, and control of
the applicant.
d. The legal residence of a dependent applicant
whose parents are divorced, separated, or
otherwise living apart will be deemed to be this
state if either parent is a legal resident of
Florida, regardless of which parent claims the
minor as a dependent on individual federal
income tax records.
3. Proof:
An individual shall not be classified as a resident
for tuition purposes and thus, shall not be eligible
to receive the in-state tuition rate until he/she has
provided such evidence related to legal residence
and its duration as may be required by the College.
The burden of proof will be on the applicant to
provide appropriate evidence.
4. With respect to a dependent applicant, the legal
residence of such individual's parent or parents is
prima facie evidence of the individual's legal
residence.
5. The domicile of a married person shall be deter-
mined, as in the case of an unmarried applicant, by
reference to all relevant evidence of domiciliary
intent.
6. An applicant shall not be deemed to have estab-
lished or maintained a legal residence in this state
as a resident for tuition purposes solely by reason
of marriage to a person domiciled in this state. The
fact of the marriage and the place of domicile of
such applicant's spouse shall be deemed relevant
evidence to be considered in ascertaining
domiciliary intent.
7. Any nonresident, who marries a legal resident of
this state may, upon becoming a legal resident of
this state, qualify immediately as a legal resident if
the spouse has met the 12 months requirement.
8. A Florida resident shall not lose his/her resident
status for tuition purposes solely by reason of serv-
ing, or, if such person is a dependent applicant, by
reason of his/her parent's serving, in the Armed
Forces outside this state.
9. A person who has been properly classified as a
resident for tuition purposes but who loses his/her
resident tuition status because his/her parent estab-
lished domiciles or legal residence elsewhere, shall
continue to enjoy the in-state tuition rate for one
year. If the 12 months grace period ends during a
semester or academic term for which such former
resident is enrolled, such grace period shall be ex-
tended to the end of that semester or academic
term.
10. Any resident who ceases to be enrolled and aban-
dons his/her domicile in this state shall be permitted
to re-enroll at Broward Community College as a
resident for tuition purposes without the necessity
of meeting the 12 months duration requirement of
this section if that person has re-established his/her
domicile in this state within 12 months of such aban-
donment. This benefit shall not be accorded more
than once to any person.
11. Parolees, asylees, refuges or other permanent
status persons (e.g., persons who married a U.S.
Citizen, "Temporary" or Amnesty Aliens, etc.)
who have also been approved by Immigration and
Naturalization Service for indefinite stay and

writing by the director of that institute.
13. Residency classification previously made for trans-
fer students at another Florida public college or
university will be recognized by BCC unless the
student's status has changed or there was an error
in the original classification.
14. Appeals:
Petitions for reclassification of residency status will
be initiated with the Registration Coordinator on
the campus where enrolled. A petition form will be
completed and appropriate documentary evidence
provided. Such changes, if approved, must be com-
pleted prior to the first day of classes at the start of

review, must be forwarded together with an affidavit
that states the specific claim and basis for the re-
quest for reclassification. Retroactive changes and
refunds for prior terms will nol be made.
PLACEMENT AND REGISTRATION
Newly admitted students are required to meet with an
academic advisor and undergo evaluations to deter-
mine the appropriate academic level at which to start
at Broward Community College.
Academic Advisement
Academic advisement is available to all students prior
to registration for each term at Broward Community
College. Academic Advisors and Counselors help stu-
dents plan their program of study, select individual
courses, and assess their progress as they continue their
studies.
All first-time in college students must see an Academic
Advisor or Counselor before they register. Transfer and
returning students are encouraged to seek advisement
and to seek an informal review of prior course work to
determine appropriate courses at Broward Community
College.
Assessment
All degree-seeking students who have had no previous
college work as determined by their application forms
must be assessed and advised for courses.
1. All degree-seeking-students, including transfer
students where competency has not been certified,
shall be assessed as to their communication and
computation competencies (English, Reading and
Mathematics). This includes students who identify
as seeking the following degrees: Associate of
Arts - A. A., Associate in Science - A.S., and Cer-
tificates.
2. All non-degree seeking students shall be required
to take the placement examination prior to enroll-
ment in English or Mathematics courses and other
courses that require English and Mathematics as
prerequisites.
3. Students may attempt each College Preparatory
course no more than three (3) times. Withdrawal
after "Last Day for Drop and Last Day for 100%
Refund" date will count as an attempt. See College
Calendars in this Catalog for withdrawal/drop
dates.
4. Tests utilized in the assessment process have been
determined by the State Board of Education. The
SAT, ACT, and Florida College Entry Level Place-
ment Test (FCELPT) are primarily used by
Processes and Procedures
35
Broward Community College. If a student's score
falls below the cutoff, the student must enroll in and
successfully complete the appropriate college
preparatory course prior to enrolling in college
level courses. Students enrolled in college
preparatory courses may enroll in certain other
college level courses concurrently.
5. Test scores are valid for only two years.
6. Placement testing for students who have English as
their second language is available through the Stu-
dent Affairs Test Center. The Level of English
Proficiency (LOEP) Test and a writing sample is
used for English placement. Referral for individual
testing must be made by a Counselor, Advisor, or
Faculty Member.
Registration
After a student completes the class schedule form
through either counseling or self-advisement, he/she
takes his/her schedule of courses to the Registration
Office where it is entered into the computer. The com-
pleted registration form is then given to the student with
a total of fees and a date that payment is due. Fees may
be paid immediately, or by the date shown on the
registration slip. Schedules may be changed as neces-
sary at no charge to the student.
Students with certain obligations, such as overdue
library materials, may be "blocked" from registration
for subsequent terms. Likewise, students with unmet
pre/co-requisite courses may be restricted from
registering for courses for which they are academically
ineligible. If a student is already preregistered for the
next term, and fails a pre-requisite course, the student
will be disenrolled for the course(s) for which the pre-
requisite is required.
Telephone Registration (Personalized
Advisement and Registration System =
PAR)
Continuing students may register for Broward Com-
munity College courses from a touch-tone telephone.
Detailed instructions are provided in the Schedule of
Classes newspaper, or in the PAR brochure found on
each campus.
Student Terminals
Computer terminals are available at each campus for
student use in registration. Continuing Broward Com-
munity College students may find that self-operated
terminals are preferred over PAR or staff assisted ter-
minals.
Fee Due Dates
At registration, students are assigned fee due dates. If
payment is not satisfied on that date, registrations will
be automatically cancelled and courses offered to other
students. When payment is made by mail, allow suffi-
cient time for mail delivery to prevent voiding of
registration.
Orientation
The Orientation Program is designed to assist new
students in making an adjustment to college. The pro-
gram provides the students with information about
campus facilities, curricula, extra class activities and
services. The Orientation Program is offered prior to

ing/Advisement Office for students. The Student

(FSAR) from the federal processor approximately
three to four weeks after you submit your FAFSA
or Renewal FAFSA to Federal Student Aid
Programs. The FSAR indicates your expected
family contribution, which is used to determine your
eligibility for financial aid. The FSAR also lists the
information you recorded on your FAFSA or
Renewal FAFSA so that you can check your infor-
mation for accuracy. If no corrections are needed,
keep the FSAR with your financial aid records. If
corrections are needed, contact Student Financial
Services.
5. If your application is selected for verification, you
will be required to provide additional documenta-
tion such as signed copies of your, or your family's

ing of your application. Submit income tax
documents only if requested.

complete additional loan information and submit
an Application and Promissory Note. The Applica-
tion and Promissory Note will be mailed directly to

VETERANS BENEFITS
Broward Community College is committed to provid-
ing services to veterans who have served honorably in
the United States armed forces and their eligible de-
pendents. There are advisors on each campus to
provide assistance with all phases of VA paper work,
serve as a liaison between the student and the Veterans
Administration Office. Broward Community College is
approved for veterans training in Associate Degree
programs. A student receiving VA educational benefits
who previously received postsecondary training or
education elsewhere must request the school(s) to for-
ward an official transcript to the College Registrar's
Office. For information regarding credit for military
training, see the appropriate advisor on each campus.
A student who has not maintained satisfactory progress
(2.0 or higher college cumulative GPA) at the end of
any term will be placed on academic probation for the
next two consecutive terms (for VA pay purposes,
"Academic Warning" is the same as "Academic Proba-
tion"). If the student has not attained satisfactory
progress (2.0 or higher college cumulative GPA) by the
end of the second consecutive academic probation
term, the student's VA educational benefits will be
terminated for unsatisfactory progress. The student
may petition the college to be re-certified for VA pay
purposes after one term has elapsed. The college may
then re-certify the student when the college determines
there is a reasonable likelihood the student will be able
to attain and maintain satisfactory progress for the
remainder of the program. Students needing assistance
can contact the VA Advisor on Central Campus at
475-6573, North Campus at 969-2006, or South Campus
at 963-8868.
For complete information on eligibility for veteran and
dependent benefits and application procedures, stu-
dents are encouraged to request a copy of "Veterans
Affairs", a handbook which is available at the Student
Financial Services Office on each campus.

STUDENT SUPPORT SERVICES
Bookstores
The Broward Community College Bookstores are
owned and operated by the College and function as a
service to the faculty, students, administration and staff
by providing the necessary tools of education.
The Bookstores offer a complete line of textbooks, both
new and used, and a large selection of non-required
books, college supplies, including art and engineering
supplies, class rings, soft goods, stationery items and
other merchandise. Extra services include special or-
ders for books not normally carried as basic stock, and
buy-back of used books. Prices are established accord-
ing to the appropriate policies typically found in other
colleges and universities.
The Central Campus Bookstore is located in Building

in effect at the beginning of each term. Hours during
the summer months are from 7:45 A.M. to 4:00 P.M.
Counseling
Broward Community College considers students to be
uniquely talented human beings with individual
abilities, potentials, interests, needs and life styles. Col-
lege years are vital stepping stones to the future and the
major decisions students must make are foundations on
which life will be built.
The Counseling Center provides opportunities for stu-
dents to grow as "whole" persons, to explore their
attitudes and interests as they affect emotional and
academic life and to accept responsibilities as mature,
healthy individuals. Students may call on the Counsel-
ing Service for career-educational information and
positive, realistic help in life and career goal planning.
Counselors are always ready to help resolve "road
blocks" that may interfere with the student's effective-
ness as a student and as a person. Specialized testing
is available to students in need of objective information
concerning abilities, achievements, interests, and per-
sonal attributes.
The Counseling staff is sensitive to the needs of a
diverse population and invites mid-life men and
women, minorities, senior citizens, and all others to
discuss their particular needs.
Dental Services
Students may receive quality dental treatment provided
by Florida licensed dentists at a reduced cost in the
on-campus facility. The Dental Clinic is located on
Central Campus in Building 8, the Charles R. Forman
Building. For additional information, and to schedule
an appointment, please call 475-6778.
Food Services
The Robert E. Ferris Center (Building 19), the
Hospitality Center on A. Hugh Adams Central Cam-
pus, consists of a large, modern cafeteria for individual
and group meals. Cafeteria services, snack bar ser-
vices, and private dining rooms for club and social
affairs are available. A student lounge, recreational
areas, and the Student Life Office, are also located in
the Hospitality Center. On North Campus the student
lounge and food facility are located in the Administra-
tive Building (Building 48). On the South Campus, the
student lounge and food facilities are located in
Schlesinger Hall (Building 71).

pus, in Building 60/400A, and on South Campus in
Building 71/215.
Learning Resources
Broward Community College offers a continually
broadening program of Learning Resources support
services to staff and students. The services are divided
into four distinct categories.
1. Audio Visual Services
This area of service concerns the acquisition,
cataloging, scheduling, distribution, and main-
tenance of audio visual materials and equipment
used in supplementing classroom instruction.
2. Media Production
Learning Resources is adequately equipped to
design and produce a wide variety of instructional
materials including black and white photographs,
color slides, overhead transparencies, and audio
and video tapes.
3. Closed Circuit Television
A closed circuit television network interconnecting
all classrooms on each of the College's campuses is
capable of conveying several simultaneous live or
pre-recorded color TV programs for supplement-
ing classroom instruction. College personnel
produce many of their own supplemental video tape
materials in a color production studio.
Student Support Services
45
4. Learning Laboratories
Direct service to students is provided through a
Learning Laboratory on each of the Broward Com-
munity College campuses. Each of these is
equipped with the necessary audio visual materials
and equipment for providing remedial, supplemen-
tal, and enrichment instructional experiences to
students.
Libraries
The library on each of the College's campuses is a
joint-use facility. Consequently, policies, procedures,
and hours of operation differ slightly from one location
to another. Following is a brief description of each
library.
On Central Campus, the joint University/College
Library is located in Building 17. The goal of this
library is to provide academic support for programs of
study and to create a stimulating environment which
will encourage academic achievement. The collection
of catalogued materials has grown to 212,000 books
with over 2,000 periodical titles available. Research is
facilitated by the use of in-house electronic databases
plus access to others through the LINCC and other
automated systems.
Students must show a Broward Community College
library card to borrow material. These cards are issued
at the Circulation Desk on presentation of the current
paid fees receipt. Broward Community College stu-
dents may borrow from any of the three campus
libraries but they must return material to that library
from which they borrowed. Patrons are charged for
overdue or lost material.
Students on the College's North and South Campuses
are also served by joint-use facilities. These libraries
are jointly operated by the College and the Broward
County Library System.
On the North Campus, the 106,000 square foot library
is located in Building 62 and houses a collection of
approximately 225,000 volumes. This facility houses
the Learning Resources Center, Learning Laboratory
and the Electronic Classroom as well as other academic
support services.
On South Campus, the 60,000 square foot library is
located in Building 72, immediately west of Schlesinger
Hall, and makes available about 180,000 volumes for
student research. In addition to the library, the facility
also houses the Learning Resources Center, Learning
Laboratory, and other academic support services
The North and South Regional/BCC Libraries are both
equipped with the county's user friendly "BIGCAT"
electronic catalog which permits the user to search all
holdings in the county system and also provides access
to a large assortment of electronic databases and the
holdings of other libraries.
Students who are currently enrolled at the North or
South Campus are automatically eligible to obtain a
Broward County Library " BIG CAT" card. This card
enables them to check out books and materials from the
library located on those campuses, or from any of the
other Broward County Library locations.
Students attending the College's Downtown Center are
served by the Broward County Main Library which is
located nearby.
The library staff encourages students and faculty to
make suggestions for the improvement of service and
appreciates recommendations of titles to be added to
the collection. Qualified staff are available to help
patrons identify, locate and use library materials and
electronic databases.
Office of Student Success (OSS)
The Office of Student Success (OSS) provides those
comprehensive support programs and activities that
will increase student retention and enhance student
persistence from entry into college to the completion of
the student's educational, personal, and career aspira-
tions. Through OSS, students receive career
counseling, academic counseling, personal counseling,
individualized programmed learning center experien-
ces, tutoring, financial aid information, group support
sessions, work study placement and the like. OSS has
a special component, the Mentor Program.

Broward Community College 1998-99 Catalog
Program for Peaceful Problem
Solving
Acknowledging that conflict is an integral part of life,
Broward Community College has developed the Pro-
gram for Peaceful Problem Solving, PPPS, to provide
members of the College and local community with
resources and direct assistance to creatively and non-
violently resolve interpersonal and/or intergroup
conflicts.
The PPPS provides training and assistance in peaceful
conflict resolution methods useful in a wide range of
settings. These approaches include, but are not limited
to, negotiation, mediation, collaborative problem-solv-
ing, communication skills training, and group
facilitation. Additionally, the PPPS has a pool of
trained mediators and group facilitators who are avail-
able to assist, in a confidential manner, in the resolution
of conflicts between individuals, organizations, and
groups. For additional information on the Program for
Peaceful Problem Solving, contact Student Life, (954)
475-6755, or the Office of Student Success at (954)
475-6570.
Student Government
Student Government Associations operate on Central,
North, and South Campuses. Students are encouraged
to participate in these organizations to make them a
truly representative voice of the students.
Student Media
Student productions, publications and press are valu-
able aids in establishing and maintaining an
atmosphere of free and responsible discussion and of
intellectual exploration on the campus. They are a
means of bringing student concerns to the attention of
faculty and administration and of formulating students'
opinions on various issues on the campus and the world
at large. In addition, student publications and produc-
tions serve as a training opportunity for students
interested in professional journalism, either print or
broadcast.
All College published and financed student media shall
explicitly state that the opinions expressed are not
necessarily those of either the faculty or students of
Broward Community College. All media are expected
to observe the standards of their respective professions.
These statements are to be considered as supplemen-
tary to the established policies of the Board of Trustees
as they relate to student publications.
The College will ensure free and responsible media and
will not censor or approve copy in advance.
The editorial freedom of student editors and managers
entails corollary responsibilities to be governed by the
canons of responsible journalism, such as the avoidance
of libel, indecency, undocumented allegations, attacks
on personal integrity and the techniques of harassment
and innuendo.
BCC Broadcasters
BCC Broadcasters is an audio and video service or-
ganization that provides video recording for various
campus and community organizations. The production
crews, news crews and talent are from all of BCC's
campuses. Club members are responsible for all
aspects of the production cycle, from development to
the edited master tape. BCC Broadcasters gives the
BCC student the chance to work in a television studio
as well as go out on assignment to shoot a story.. The
student will be given the opportunity to learn how to
operate video equipment and will begin to grasp many
other skills which are necessary to work within the
broadcast industry. Since BCC Broadcasters is a stu-
dent activity, the only membership requirement is to be
a registered BCC student. Any interested student is
encouraged to contact Mark Mavrides on Central
Campus in Building 17, Room 136, or call him at 423-
6422.
Student Publications
The Observer
Broward Community College encourages and supports
a free and responsible student press. The Observer, the
College's biweekly newspaper, is a combined product
of students from the journalism programs at North,
Central and South campuses. Student reporters
engage in responsible, objective practices of writing,
while those interested in photojournalism, design,
graphics, desktop publishing and advertising can apply
their abilities in preparing camera-ready pages for
print.
The Observer is a highly touted publication, having
received All-American ratings and two regional
Pacemaker ratings from a national critiquing service, in
addition to numerous state awards since its inception
in 1986. Many student editors receive scholarships or
workships to produce Tlie Observer in addition to inter-
nships which are available to those who wish to work
with the professional media in South Florida.
P 'an Ku
P'an Ku is the BCC Student Literary/Arts Magazine.
Published twice yearly, P'an Ku features the creative
efforts of students throughout the college in the literary
and visual arts. Poetry, short stories, art, and photog-
raphy are sought for publication. Watch for the
announcements of submission deadlines during the
year.
P'an Ku has won both regional and national awards.
Though based at South Campus, P'an Ku encourages
students from all campuses to participate. The
magazine is looking for writers, artists, photographers,
business majors, and anyone else who would like to be
part of the staff. No prior experience is needed - only
enthusiasm! For more information, call the South

term or an equivalent number of clock hours for an
educational program using clock hours. Usually, the
Offices of Social Security, Railroad Retirement, and
Veterans Administration consider twelve (12) credit
hours as a full load for determining subsistence. The
maximum load which may normally be carried is
eighteen (18) credit hours per academic term or an
equivalent number of clock hours. However, students
who make a quality point average of 3.2 or above may
carry an extra course, but in no event shall the maximum
load exceed twenty-one (21) credit hours per academic
term or an equivalent number of clock hours.. The
maximum load for Term IIIA or IIIB is nine (9) credit
hours or an equivalent number of clock hours; the
normal load is six (6) credit hours or an equivalent
number of clock hours.

If the student must have the hours in order to graduate,
a student in the last term of residence prior to gradua-
tion may carry an overload even though his/her grade
point is not high enough under the above policy. In no
event should the student enroll for more than twenty-
one (21) credit hours, except with the approval of the
Academic Standards Committee.
Academic Standards of Progress
Broward Community College strives to provide the
highest quality of instructional and support services.
Students accepted into certificate and degree programs
will be continually evaluated to ensure that standards
of progress are achieved and to identify and provide
assistance to students who experience academic dif-
ficulties. BCC is committed to providing assistance for
all students in order to provide an optimal learning
experience so that students will be able to succeed in
achieving their educational goals.
To complete certificate and degree program require-
ments, students are required to meet Academic
Standards of Progress. A minimum grade poini
average of "C" (2.0 on a 4.0 scale) is necessary on all
work attempted. Students will receive written notifica-
tion on their final grade report if they do not maintain
good academic standing.
For transfer applicants, the academic standards of
progress at a previously attended college or university
will be recognized by Broward Community College and
treated in the same manner as if the student had been
enrolled at Broward Community College.
The five categories of academic progress are:
1. GOOD ACADEMIC STANDING: Maintain a
grade point average (GPA) of 2.0 or higher.
2. ACADEMIC WARNING: Any student, formerly in
good academic standing, who earns less than a 2.0
GPA at the end of an academic term or earns a
cumulative GPA of less than 2.0 will, at the end of
that term, be given an academic warning.
Penalty: Students on academic warning status must
see an academic advisor or a counselor.
3. ACADEMIC PROBATION: A student will be
placed on academic probation for any subsequent
term after an academic warning, in which that stu-
dent has attempted 12 or more credit hours but
earned less than a 2.0 GPA.
Penalty: Students on probation must see an
academic advisor and reconsider their academic
goals. Non-academic activities should be
restricted.
4. ACADEMIC SUSPENSION: Students on proba-
tion status may be academically suspended in one
of two ways:
1. Failure to earn at least a 2.0 GPA during the
term after which they were placed on proba-
tion, or
2. Failure to successfully complete 50% of the
total hours attempted during two consecutive
terms, including the term of probation. The
hours attempted will include withdrawals ( W).
Penalty: Students academically suspended will not
be permitted to enroll for one semester (Fall,
Winter or Full Summer) following the term in which
they were suspended.
Re-Entry: After the first academic suspension from
BCC or any other institution, and after the student
has satisfied the penalty, the student is required to
file a re-entry application and must be approved by
the Dean of Student Affairs at the campus where
they plan to enroll. The applicant must follow the
advisor's instructions pertaining to course selection.
Any subsequent suspensions may require the stu-
Academic Information
55
dent to petition and appear before the Academic
Standards Committee.
5. ACADEMIC DISMISSAL: Any student who fails
to achieve a 2.0 term or cumulative GPA following
Academic Suspension will be academically dis-
missed.
Penalty: Students academically dismissed will not
be permitted to enroll for twelve (12) months fol-
lowing the term in which they were dismissed.
Re-entry: After the first academic dismissal from
BCC or any other institution, and after the student
has satisfied the penalty, the student is required to
file a re-entry application and must be approved by
the Dean of Student Affairs at the campus where
she/he plans to enroll. The applicant must follow
the advisor's instructions pertaining to course selec-
tion. Any subsequent dismissals may require the
student to petition and appear before the Academic
Standards Committee.
Cancellation of Previous Unsatisfactory
Record
Associate in Science degree or Certificate students with
previous unsatisfactory academic records who (1) can
demonstrate meritorious mitigating circumstances,
further maturation, or the ability to pursue successfully
further college work and, (2) are recommended by a
counselor, may be provisionally admitted to the College
by the Academic Standards Committee for a period of
two semesters. If, at the end of twenty-four (24) credit
hours, Associate in Science degree students have
achieved a grade point average of 2.0 or above, they may
be granted full admission status and the previous un-
satisfactory academic record will be cancelled, except
in the case of students enrolled during or later than
Term I, 1997-1998. For Certificate students, the re-
quirement is completion of one-third of the total
program hours and a grade point average of 2.0 or
above. Normally, this cancellation will not be approved
unless the unsatisfactory student performance is at least
two academic years old.
Students Enrolled Prior to Term I,
1997-1998
Canceled academic records for all these Associate in
Science degree and Certificate students will sub-
sequently be completely disregarded in the calculation
of credit hours and grade point average. However,
these students' permanent records will show all work
attempted and all grades earned along with a notation
about the cancellation granted by the College.
Students Enrolled During or After Term I,
1997-1998
All previous unsatisfactory academic work by these
Associate in Science degree and Certificate students
will not necessarily be disregarded in the calculation of
credit hours and grade point average. All grades from
third and subsequent attempts of the same course will
be calculated in the grade point average. Student's
permanent records wifi show all work attempted and all
grades earned along with a notation about the cancel-
lation granted by the College
Under the articulation agreement binding the Florida
public community colleges and state universities, this
policy may not be applied to Associate of Arts degree
students.
Class Attendance Policy
Each professor will formulate an attendance policy and
insure that this policy is communicated in writing
during the first week of classes. Students will notify
instructors in advance of absences(s) to observe a
religious holy day(s) in his/her. own faith, and shall
likewise notify instructors in advance of other absences
when practicable under the circumstances. If non-
penalized absence occurs on the first day of class, the
student shall notify the instructor of the reason for
his/her absence at the next class meeting. Documenta-
tion for non-penalized absences shall be presented by
the student should the faculty member request it. Stu-
dents will be responsible for material covered during an
absence. Excessive absences may result in withdrawal
from the course by the professor or the assignment of
an "I" grade when non-penalized absences are
authorized by the instructor but the work cannot be
completed in the time available.
Classification of Students
A student who has earned 25 or more semester hours
credit is classified as a sophomore. A full-time student
is enrolled for a minimum of 12 semester hours per
term.
Conduct
Broward Community College students are considered
to have reached an age of responsible citizenship and
are expected to conduct themselves in a responsible
manner both on and off the campus. Students, through
the act of registration at Broward Community College,
obligate themselves to obey all rules and regulations
which the institution formulates including those con-
tained in the College Catalog and the Student
Handbook. Copies of the College Catalog may be
obtained from all Registration Coordinators. Copies of
the Student Handbook, which contains specific dis-
ciplinary rules and regulations as well as procedures
followed in the case of infractions, may be obtained in
all Student Life Offices or College Book Stores. It is
the responsibility of students to obtain these publica-
tions and to be thoroughly familiar with their contents.
Examinations and Tests
Each professor is free to direct his/her class and to give
such tests as are necessary. Usually there is a midterm
examination and more frequent subject examinations.
Final Examination Schedules are located in the front
section of the College Catalog.

Final grades for each term are recorded and preserved.
Reports are sent to students at the end of term. Grade
point averages for graduation and honors are calcu-
lated only on college level academic work and include
all work attempted at all colleges. The following
grades are used to calculate the grade point
average (GPA).

calculated only on college level academic work.
incomplete
An "I" grade may be given in courses where the student
in good standing, and with documented extenuating
circumstances, has not completed the required course
work by the end of the term. The student should make
arrangements to have the "I" changed to a final grade
by the instructor (by the agreed upon date) during the
next full semester (Summer terms are not considered
in this time limit). If no change is initiated during the
next full term, the "I" will automatically become an "F"
on the student's permanent record. If the course work
is completed, resulting in a passing grade, the student's
transcript will be amended and final GPA calculated.
m.
Florida State Board of Education Administrative Rules,
Chapter 6A-14.0301, requires community colleges to
adhere to the following procedures relating to the
award of a "W" for a student withdrawal from a course.
The student may withdraw without academic
penalty from any course by the mid-point of the
semester.
*The student will be permitted a maximum of two
withdrawals per course.
*Upon the third attempt, the student will not be
permitted to withdraw and will receive an
A,B,C,D, or F grade for that course.
A student should indicate the desire to audit a course
when registering for the class and cannot change from
audit to credit after the drop/add period. Up to the end
of the withdrawal period, a student may change to audit
with the permission of the Faculty member. A student
who audits a course must adhere to attendance require-
ments of the course and, if the Faculty member desires,
in-class requirements. No grade will be assigned and
no credit will be awarded; however, an audit will count
as an attempt. The transcript will indicate a course was
audited by listing a X grade, but an XW indicating
withdrawal may be given to the student at the discretion
of a Faculty member for failure to adhere to attendance
or in-class requirements of the course. A student may
take a course previously audited for credit but may not
petition for credit on the basis of the previous audit.
The cost for auditing a course is the same as taking it
for credit. A department may exclude a course from
audit status.
*NC - Non-Credit Course
The NC is assigned automatically for any zero credit
hour course. NC is used for continuing education,
economic development, lifelong learning, and other
classes for which no credit is awarded.
*NG - No Grade Assigned
The NG is used to indicate that a student has not
satisfied the requirements for a non-credit class. It is
also used for certain self-paced courses as well as
designated Health Sciences and continuing education
classes
*NR - No Grade Reported
The NR is assigned by the Registrar's Office in cases
where class rolls have not been submitted in time for
normal processing of grades.
*S and U - Satisfactory and Unsatisfactory
The S and U grades are used only for those courses
which have received prior approval through the cur-
riculum review process to award the
Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory grades.
GRADE APPEAL PROCESS
If a student feels that he/she has been unfairly graded
in a course, the student should meet or communicate
not later than the second week of the next major term
(Terms I or II) with the faculty member in an attempt
to settle the disputed grade and avoid the formal Grade
Appeal Process. If the student is dissatisfied with the
faculty member's decision, then the student may begin
the four-step formal Grade Appeal Process. Broward
Community College Policy 61-1x2-4.27 provides the
complete grade appeal process.

Graduation Requirements
Students planning to earn a degree or certificate at
Broward Community College must contact a campus
academic advisor and make an appointment for a
preliminary evaluation for graduation at least one term
prior to their anticipated graduation. Students are en-
couraged to see an academic advisor each term prior
to their registration, but degree-seeking students must
do this prior to their registration for the term they plan
to graduate. Students will be mailed an "eligibility to
graduate form" to allow them to pay their diploma fee.
Students who apply late for graduation and pay their
diploma fee after the cut-off date may not be published
in the graduation brochure.
Diplomas will be printed and mailed following gradua-
tion, after a final graduation check is made by the
Registrar's Office. Students not meeting their degree
requirements will be contacted by the Registrar's Of-
fice. The College holds two graduation ceremonies
each year at the end of Term I (Fall) and Term II
(Winter).
The minimum degree requirements are as follows:
1. Earn at least 60 semester hours of approved credit.
2. Achieve an average grade of "C" (2.0) or higher
on all work attempted.
3. Complete 24 credit hours at Broward Community
College, including the last 12 hours.
4. Satisfy the CLAST test for the A.A. degree. See the
CLAST section of this catalog for more informa-
tion.
5. Fulfill all financial obligations to the College.
6. Fulfill all curricular and General Education re-
quirements appropriate to the academic program.
Hours and grade points earned in College Preparatory
Courses will not count toward an A.A. Degree and will
not count toward an A.S. Degree.
Applicable Catalog
A student who is continuously enrolled in college-level
or vocational credit courses (except Summer Terms)
from initial enrollment to graduation may choose to
meet graduation requirements specified in either the
Broward Community College Catalog in effect when
initially enrolled or in effect at the time of graduation.
If a student's attendance is interrupted by two or more
major terms (Summer Terms excluded), the student
must meet the requirements of the catalog in effect at
the time of re-entry, or at the time of graduation. A
student cannot graduate under a catalog in effect at the
time of initial enrollment if his/her degree has been
eliminated by the College. Students entering special-
ized programs, such as Nursing Technology, may
petition through that department, to graduate under
the provision of the catalog in effect when the student
was admitted to the specialized program. Appeals for
exception to the above policy may be submitted to the
Academic Standards Committee.
Recency of Credit
College courses completed more than ten (10) years
prior to the date of enrollment (or re-admission) at
Broward Community College may require validation by
examination. Science courses completed more than
ten years prior to the date of the application will not be
accepted for Health Sciences students.
Graduation Honors
Students must complete a minimum of 24 semester
hours at Broward Community College, including the
last 12 hours. A maximum of 12 hours credit for
residency may be awarded under Experiential Learn-
ing, but not the last 12 hours. The calculation of the
grade point average for honors includes the Broward
Community College record and any previous credit
transferred to Broward Community College.
Students may graduate with honors in three grade point
categories:
Honors: Cumulative grade point average of
3.250-3.499
High Honors: Cumulative grade point average of
3.500-3.749
Highest Honors: Cumulative grade point average of
3.750-4.000.
Students who earn the Honors are recognized at
graduation and Honors designations will be shown on
final transcripts. The Honors Certificate requires 18
credits of Honors course work.
Repeating Courses
Responsibility for loss of credit because of duplication
of courses rests with the student. In accordance with
Florida State Board of Eduction Administrative Rules,
Chapter 6a- 14.0301, a student who has completed a
course and desires to improve his/her grade for that
course may repeat the course only if he/she has earned
a "D" or "F" grade. The number of repeat attempts is
limited to two per course. Repetition of a course
removes the previous grade from a student's record
only for the purpose of calculating grade point average.
The original grade remains on the transcript, but only
the grade earned in the last attempt is used for calculat-
ing the degree grade point average. The State's
Articulation Agreement does not allow courses to be
repeated for the purpose of changing a student's grade
point average after the associate degree has been
awarded.
Semester Hour
The unit of credit is the semester hour, representing
15-16 hours of lecture instruction with 50-minute class
periods. Generally, 30-32 hours of laboratory work
count as one unit of credit. Mini terms, Weekend Col-
lege, and classes that meet less than three times per
week are adjusted to include the same time equivalent
as the longer terms. A minimum of 12 semester hours
per term is required for full-time status.
58
Broward Community College 1998-99 Catalog
Semester System
The term system is used. The academic year is divided
into three terms. Terms I (Fall) and II (Winter) are
approximately seventeen weeks in length, and Term III
(Summer) approximately twelve weeks. Terms I and II
are also divided into A and B segments of approximatey
eight weeks each and a C segment of approximately
eleven weeks. Term III is divided into two segments,
Term III A and IIIB, which are six weeks in length. Thus,
there are at least six periods of enrollment throughout
the year. To earn a unit of credit, time schedules are
adjusted during the A and B terms.
Family Rights and Privacy Act
Federal and State laws restrict the release of confiden-
tial student records and information. Students have a
right to inspect their educational records and are
protected from release of information without their
written consent, except for subpoenaed requests from
courts with appropriate jurisdiction. Students must
make written requests for transcripts and other
academic information. Requests by unauthorized third
parties and telephone requests will not be honored.
Transcripts
Students should make written requests to the
Registrar's Office at least two weeks before the creden-
tials are needed. No transcript or official statement will
be issued for students who are financially indebted, or
have other obligations to the College, or who have not
fully satisfied admission requirements. A request for
transcript should give the student's Social Security
Number and the last date of attendance at the College.
Married women should give their maiden names as well
as their married names. There is no charge for
transcripts, but the number of copies may be restricted.
Transcripts may be sent and received electronically
over the Florida Automated System for Transferring
Educational Records whenever the institution is a par-
ticipant in the computer network system.
Attempts Per Course
Florida State Board of Education Administrative Rules,
Chapter 6A- 14.0301, limits the number of times a stu-
dent may attempt a course. An attempt is defined as
student enrollment after the 100% refund deadline.
Total Attempts - College Level Courses
A student may have only three attempts per course,
including the original grade, repeat grades, audits and
withdrawals. A fourth attempt may be allowed only
through a successful petition to the Academic Stand-
ards Committee based on major extenuating
circumstances. All grades from the third and sub-
sequent attempts will be calculated in the grade point
average. The total attempts limitation however, does
not apply to repeatable courses, such as music, choir,
etc., that have been successfully completed and are now
being repeated for further skill enhancement.
Florida law requires a student who repeats a college
level credit course for the second time (which is a third
attempt) to pay the full cost of instruction. The full cost
of instruction is equivalent to out-of-state tuition fees.
No exceptions to the full cost of instruction can be
granted to a student who attempts the course for the
third time.
Total Attempts - College Preparatory Courses
A student may not enroll for more than three attempts
in each college preparatory course. A student who
withdraws from a college preparatory course under
major extenuating circumstances may be granted an
exception through petition to the Academic Standards
Committee.
The College permits withdrawal from a course without
receiving a grade penalty. A "W" will be assigned
during the first 55% of the term for all courses The
withdrawal dates for each term are listed in the College
Calendar in this catalog.
Florida law requires a student who repeats a college
preparatory course (which is a second attempt) to pay
the full cost of instruction. The full cost of instruction
is equivalent to out-of-state tuition fees. A student may
be granted an exception to the full cost of instruction
requirement based on documented extenuating cir-
cumstances or financial hardship. An exception due to
extenuating circumstances may be granted only once;
in a financial hardship case, more than one exception
may be granted so long as the student is making good
academic progress.
Prerequisites
Prerequisite courses are specified within each course
description. They are academic requirements that
must be completed before enrolling in the next subject
level. Students are responsible for knowing and satis-
factorily completing prerequisite requirements. If a
student registers for a course for the next term while
currently enrolled in a prerequisite course, then he/she
must satisfactorily complete the prerequisite course or
withdraw from the higher level course. Otherwise, the
student may be disenrolled from the course for which
he/she is ineligible. Students who have completed a
prerequisite course at another institution, must furnish
proof before registering for the higher level course.
The computerized registration system will assist stu-
dents in checking for prerequisites only in English,
Mathematics, and the Sciences. Students, however, are
responsible for checking all prerequisite courses in
these and other academic areas.
Students should know what the academic requirements
are before attempting to register for a course. Check
the course descriptions in the back of this Catalog.
Corequisites
Corequisites are two courses that must be completed
together. An example is science course and the as-
sociated laboratory. You cannot take one without the
Academic Information
59
other. If you drop one, you must drop the other. Core-
quisite academic requirements are stated within the
course description section of the Catalog.
Withdrawals and Refund Policies
A one hundred percent (100%) refund of matricula-
tion, tuition and all other special fees categorized as
refundable shall be made when official drop notifica-
tion is received and approved prior to the end of the
College's published drop period for those courses that
are eight weeks or longer. For courses less than eight
weeks in length, the last day to drop and receive a
refund will be the same as the non-credit course refund
policy as described below.
Exceptions to the one hundred percent (100%) refund
provision shall be made pursuant to federal rules for
prorated refunds. Student Financial Services and the
Comptroller's Office will establish refund guidelines
pursuant to federal rules.
When a student is required to withdraw from a course
after the official drop period, but prior to the mid-term
date, because of circumstances determined by the Col-
lege to be exceptional and beyond the control of the
student, a 100% refund may be approved by the Provost
of the campus, Assistant to the President/Downtown
Center, or the Executive Director, Center for Health
Science where the student is enrolled. Such cir-
cumstances may include, but are not limited to, serious
illness, health, involuntary call to active military duty
and other emergency circumstances or extraordinary
situations.
A one hundred percent (100%) refund for non-credit
courses shall occur up to the date of the first class for
those classes meeting only once. A one hundred per-
cent (100%) refund for non-credit courses may occur
up to the second class period for those meeting more
than once. Refund for extenuating circumstances as
stated above will apply to non-credit courses.
When a student petitions for a refund, he/she must have
withdrawn from any classfes) for which a petition is
being considered.
Caution: Universities may consider the number of
withdrawals when considering students for admission.
Excessive "W" may be viewed negatively by Admission
Officers.
Academic Standards Committee
The Academic Standards Committee is established to
consider exceptions to academic regulations. Students
initiate written petitions at the campus where enrolled,
and the Dean of Student Affairs at that campus will
forward the petition to the Office of the Registrar for
presentation to the Committee. The Committee may
also deal with cases involving discipline problems as
specified in the Student Handbook. Committee
recommendations are made to the Vice President for
Student Affairs for approval.
Academic Honesty
Broward Community College expects its students to be
honest in all of their course work and activities.
Breaches of academic honesty include cheating,
plagiarism, misrepresentation, bribery, and the un-
authorized possession of examinations, papers, or
other class materials that have not been formally
released by instructors. A student's academic work
must be the result of his or her own thought, research,
or self-expression.
Bribery
Bribery is the act of offering, giving, receiving, or solicit-
ing anything of value to achieve an academic advantage.
Bribery includes, but is not limited to offering, giving,
receiving, or soliciting money or any item of service to
an instructor, college employee, or any other person for
the purpose of attempting to obtain assistance that
would not have otherwise been provided. This is not to
be construed as a violation of a student's right to obtain
a tutor.
Cheating
Cheating includes, but is not limited to, copying
homework assignments from another student; working
together with another individual on a take-home test or
homework when specifically prohibited from doing so
by the instructor; looking at text, notes, or another
person's paper during an examination when not per-
mitted.
Cheating also includes the giving of work or informa-
tion to another student to be copied and/or used as his
or her own. This includes, but is not limited to, giving
someone answers to examination questions either when
the examination is being given or after having taken an
examination; informing another student of specific
questions that appear or have appeared on an examina-
tion in the same academic term; giving or selling a term
paper, report, project, or other restricted written
materials to another student.
Consequences
Breaches of Broward Community College's Policy on
Academic Honesty may result in academic penalties
and/or disciplinary action. At the discretion of the
instructor, academic penalties may include, but are not
limited to, a failing grade for a particular assignment or
a failing grade for a particular course. In addition, the
instructor or another BCC employee may refer a stu-
dent to the Dean of Student Affairs for student
disciplinary action in accordance with the BCC Student
Handbook. Such discipline may include suspension or
expulsion from the College.
Misrepresentation
Misrepresentation is an act of omission with intent to
deceive an instructor or college employee. This in-
cludes, but is not limited to, lying about family
circumstances, employment conflicts, or other personal
problems in order to gain academic advantage for your
self or others; changing answers on graded materials;
having another person complete an assignment or take
an examination for you.
60
Broward Community College 1998-99 Catalog
Plagiarism
Plagiarism is the attempt of an individual to claim the
work of another as the product of his or her own
thoughts, whether the other's work is published or the
work of a fellow student. Plagiarism includes, but is not
limited to, quoting improperly or paraphrasing text or
other written materials without proper citation on an
examination, term paper, homework, or other written
materials submitted to an instructor as the student's
own work. Plagiarism also includes handing in a paper
to an instructor which was purchased from a term paper
service, or presenting another person's academic work
as that of the student.
Individual academic departments may provide addi-
tional examples in writing of what does and does not
constitute plagiarism, provided that such examples do
not conflict with the intent of this policy.
Recording Prohibition
Students may not make an audio or video recording of
a professor or speaker unless prior consent of the
professor or speaker is obtained. However, if such
recording is an Americans with Disabilities Act accom-
modation, prior notification is required rather than
consent.

ments.
Meeting the requirements of State Rule 6A- 10.030 is
required of all students whether they attend state
universities or community colleges, and must be com-
pleted by the end of the sophomore year.
College Level Academic Skills Test (CLAST)
The State of Florida has developed a test of college-
level communication and computation skills. The test
is called the College Level Academic Skills Test
(CLAST).
A passing score on the test is required by Florida
Statutes and Rules of the State Board of Education in
order to receive an Associate of Arts Degree and be
admitted to upper division status in the State University
System. A student may be eligible for an alternative to
the testing requirement for one or more of the sub-
tests) of the CLAST. However, if your major is
Education, you may not be eligible for the CLAST
alternative. For information about possible alterna-
tives to the CLAST testing requirement, please consult
with an academic advisor or the College Registrar's
Office.
The CLAST is administered to community college stu-
dents who are completing Associate of Arts programs
and to any other students seeking admission to upper
division programs in Florida State Universities, includ-
ing university students who are completing their
sophomore year.
The CLAST requirements also apply to students trans-
ferring to state universities in Florida from private
colleges in Florida and from out-of-state colleges.
The total testing time for CLAST is approximately five
hours, which includes the time required for arrival,
instructions, and a break. The time allotted for each
subtest is as follows:
Essay Subtest - 60 minutes
English Language Skills and
Reading Subtests - 80 minutes
Mathematics Subtest - 90 minutes
Retake examinees are allowed double time for each
subtest.

EXTENDED LEARNING SERVICES
Open College
Open College is an innovative distance learning pro-
gram designed for highly motivated, self-disciplined
students who prefer studying on an independent basis.
Open College courses are primarily delivered by way of
video cassettes which students can borrow from the
campus Learning Resource Center for the duration of
a semester. Other Open College Courses are delivered
by way of audio cassettes or are broadcast via cable
television. All Open College classes have required
textbooks and accompanying study guides to help stu-
dents pace themselves throughout the semester.
Open College courses usually require five on-campus
class meetings for the purpose of introducing or orient-
ing the student to the course, reviewing for the midterm
exam, taking the midterm exam, reviewing for the final
exam, and taking the final exam. Some Open College
courses, particularly English Composition courses, use
five on-campus class meetings for in-class writing as-
72
Broward Community College 1998-1999 Catalog
signments. The five meetings are determined prior to
the start of the semester and are listed on the
instructor's syllabus and on the Open College course
schedules.
The variety of courses offered through Open College
allows students to make significant progress toward
both the A.A. and A.S. degrees. A student seeking the
A. A. degree may complete most of the General Educa-
tion Requirements for graduation through Open
College.

Students should consult the schedule of classes to ob-
tain specific information regarding days/dates, times,
and locations of course offerings each term.
All Open College courses are full credit courses
equivalent to those taken in the standard contact hour
format and are applicable in most A.A. degree transfer
programs. The cost is also the same as for standard
courses. Students may take one or more Open College
classes exclusively or in combination with on-campus
courses. Students are advised to see an academic ad-
visor before selecting their classes.
To enroll in an Open College class, a student must first
apply for admission to the college. If students are
degree-seeking, they must take the appropriate place-
ments tests and see an academic advisor. Non-degree
seeking students can register after they have been ad-
mitted. Students need to be sure they have met any
pre-requisites needed to enroll in a course. Students
who test into REA 0004C, REA 0006C, ENC 0010 or
ENC 0021 are not allowed to register for Open College
until they complete their college prep Reading and
English. Registration can be done in person at one of
our four campuses, or, if you are a continuing student,
by telephone, using the special PAR (Personalized Ad-
visement and Registration) telephone number. Call the
Registrar's Office for details.
Once registered and paid, the student then obtains the
free course information packet from the campus
bookstore along with the Student Guide to the Open
College Program; borrows the audio and/or video cas-
settes from the campus Learning Resource Center for
the duration of one semester (available for non-broad-
cast telecourses only); purchases the appropriate
textbooks and study guides from the campus bookstore;
and attends the five required class meetings on the
campus indicated on the schedule. Students should
feel free to contact the instructor assigned to that
course for any questions about the course require-
ments.
For more information about the Open College Program
call 475-6564.
Weekend College
Weekend College is a convenient way to give motivated
students an opportunity to begin or continue their
academic work on Friday evenings, Saturday mornings,
or Saturday afternoons. Weekend College is designed
for the student whose work and home schedule make it
difficult to enroll in regularly scheduled daytime or
evening classes.
Weekend College classes are offered in the full-term
format for three hours each week; however, some cour-
ses are offered in the abbreviated C-Term format for
four contact hours each week. In either format,
Weekend College instructors make themselves avail-
able to students during the week for telephone
consultation.
Weekend College classes are usually offered in the
following areas at least one time per academic year:
Behavioral Sciences - (Anthropology, Education,
Psychology, Sociology)
Special Programs
73
Business Administration - (Accounting, Business
Law, Economics, Finance, General Business,
Management)
Communication - (Foreign Language, Reading,
Speech)
Computer Science - (Fundamentals, Word Processing)
English - (Composition, Grammar, Technical Report
Writing)
Fire Science - (Administration, Hazardous Materials,
Tactics, Supervision)
Humanities - (Art Appreciation, Literature, Music

Mathematics - (Algebra - Pre, Elem, Interm and Col-
lege; Finite Math; Statistics)
Natural Sciences - (Anatomy & Physiology, Biology,
Chemistry, Geology, Physical Science - Lecture and
Labs)
Physical Education - (Activity and Wellness Courses)
students are strongly advised to see an academic ad-
visor before selecting their classes.
For more information about Weekend College, call
475-6564.
Term "C"
Broward Community College offers a variety of courses
in an abbreviated term called Term "C". It starts about
five weeks after the full term and ends at the same time
as the full term. Courses are offered during late week-
day afternoons, some evenings, and on Saturdays. The
cost and credits are the same as the full term. The
classes meet either once per week for four hours each
meeting, or twice per week for two hours each meeting.
Term "C" gives students an opportunity to simply start
later in the term; to accumulate additional credits after
the full term is in full swing and students have had a
chance to re-evaluate their schedule; or to help stu-
dents maintain full time status if they have to drop a full
term course for any reason. However, classes taken in
the full term cannot be used to transfer to a Term "C"
class unless authorized by the appropriate ad-
ministrator.
Social Sciences - (Geography, Government, History) KU 1 L^ r KUvjKAIVIJ
The courses listed above are not offered on every cam-
pus every semester. It may be necessary to attend
several campuses in one semester to complete the re-
quirements for your program. Students should consult
the schedule of classes to obtain more specific informa-
tion regarding days/dates, times, and locations of
course offerings each term.
All Weekend College courses are full credit courses
that are transferable and can be used toward most
degree programs. The cost is the same as for regularly
scheduled daytime and evening classes. Students may
take one or more Weekend College courses exclusively
or in combination with other daytime or evening cour-
ses. Although BCC allows students to take as many as
six courses or eighteen credit hours in one full semester,
Broward Community College is cross-enrolled with
Florida International Universzity and offers Military
Science courses for the first two years of the Reserve
Officers Training Corps (ROTC). Students enroll in
the appropriate Military Science courses at Broward
Community College and participate in instruction on
the Florida International University in Miami.
The ROTC program is a four year program that can
help qualified college students to learn leadership skills
while in college and to be commissioned as an officer
in the United States Military upon graduation. The
program offers scholarships and other monetary
benefits to participants. Interested students should call
the Military Science Department at Florida Interna-
tional University, (305) 348-1619, before registering for
the Military Science courses at Broward Community
College.

Philosophy of General Education
General Education at Broward Community College is
a combination of college-level courses which will pro-
vide students with the social, technical, and academic
competencies they will need to participate effectively in
a democratic society and in a global community. Fur-
thermore, this foundation provides students an
opportunity to gain an understanding of a variety of
cultural and historical heritages, an understanding of
the role of the individual in a complex and rapidly
changing world, an understanding of the physical
universe, and the communication and analytical skills
necessary to function effectively.
These courses are also a foundation for the specific
academic and technical programs at the community
college and for further education toward a bac-
calaureate degree.
General Information
The Associate in Science Degree offers programs for
students who are interested in preparing for a career
that requires study beyond the high school level but
does not require a four-year degree.
When students decide to follow an Associate in Science
Degree program, they are not preparing themselves for
transfer to a State university. If they decide to attend a
university, they may be required to do additional work
at the freshman or sophomore level in order to earn
enough credit hours to transfer to junior level status.
The Associate in Science Degree program provides
courses in two basic areas. One area contains special-
ized courses for the program. The second area includes
at least 15 credits in General Education courses.
General Education courses are designed to help stu-
dents develop as well-rounded individuals capable of
thinking and acting as mature, educated, and en-
lightened citizens. It is believed that courses in General
Education broaden knowledge and will enhance overall
employment potential.
Final responsibility for meeting the requirements for
graduation for an Associate of Science Degree rests
with the student. He/She must complete all of the
courses as specified in the program for the degree and
appropriate general education requirements.

Physical Therapist Assistant
Program
The Physical Therapist Assistant Program is delivered
to the students via distance learning technology. That
is, there is a two-way audio and video interaction with
one or more remote sites located in classrooms
geographically distant from the BCC campus.
Lectures are broadcast in real time so that all sites
participate in lecture classes together. Lab sessions
and clinical rotations are managed by the individual
sites. This innovative method of instruction is an excit-
ing and challenging means by which separate classes of
students can be joined as they embark on an education
in the field of physical therapy.
The program provides the student with the opportunity
to develop competency in technical skills relative to
physical therapy through planned clinical, classroom
and laboratory experiences. The graduate will be
prepared to provide a variety of services under the
direction and guidance of a supervising physical
therapist.
The program is a full-time day program accredited by
the American Physical Therapy Association. A licens-
ing examination is required upon completion of the two
year program and the Physical Therapist Assistant shall
be eligible for an appropriate membership category in
the American Physical Therapy Association.

Vision Care Technology Programs
The Associate Degree Programs in Vision Care Tech-
nology provides the student with the opportunity to
develop competency in skills relative to caring for a
patient's eyes. There are two tracts that a student may
chose: Optician and Ophthalmic Technician.
An Optician plays a vital role in the fitting and adapting
of corrective lenses and other optical devices to aid
people's vision and correct ocular deficiencies. To ac-
complish this the optician must use scientific and
clinical procedures and apply learned skills to correcdy
produce and fit quality eyewear and contact lenses.
The curriculum has been designed to train the student
in the laboratory techniques of measuring, grinding,
fitting, and adapting to eyewear. The first year of the
two year program covers basic ocular science including
anatomy, optics, contact lenses, and refractometry.
The second year allows the student to gain specific skills
in eyewear fabrication, dispensing and professional
management This is accomplished by a combination of
on campus clinics and community based externships.
An Ophthalmic Technician works with a Doctor of
Ophthalmology in caring for the health of the patient's
eyes. The technician is responsible for performing
many different tests which enable the doctor to diag-
nose and treat visual and ocular medical problems. The
duties include assessing acuity, binocular function,
color vision, depth perception, and internal ocular
pressure. Technicians also perform ophthalmic
photography, visual field testing, ocular ultrasound,
refractions, and other tasks as assigned. The first year
of the two year program covers basic ocular science
including anatomy, optics, contact lenses, and refrac-
tometry. The second year allows the student to gain
skills in specific testing procedures. This is ac-
complished by a combination of on campus climes and
community based externships.
All Vision Care Technology Students will take the same
course work during their first three terms at Broward
Community College. At the start of the second year,
students will decide if they wish to pursue the Optician-
ry Science or Ophthalmic Technology Degree.
Superior students, with the permission of the Depart-
ment Coordinator, may combine both degrees into a
three year program.

Civil Engineering Technology
The increasing availability of inexpensive computers
has created a big demand for technicians with a two-
year college degree. Most of the tasks that professional
engineers used to perform with the calculator can now
be delegated to engineering technicians with the skills
acquired from this two-year program. The program
has been implemented to upgrade or prepare students
for the various disciplines in civil engineering (struc-
tural, sanitary, highway, land development, etc.) for
both the private sector and the government.
Positions available in the industry may be as civil en-
gineering technicians to perform computer-oriented
tasks for the professional engineer (hydraulics, land
development, highways, structural analysis, drafting) or
as field inspectors for all the structural and civil en-
gineering applications.
This program is oriented toward entry level students,
but many of the courses offered reflect the require-
ments of the industry for the kind of help that civil
engineers need at their level.

LANDSCAPE TECHNOLOGY PROGRAM
The opportunities in this rapidly expanding industry for
technically trained personnel are almost limitless. Tech-
nological advances, increased emphasis on
environmental control through the use of plants, grow-
ing consumer interest in native and low maintenance
landscaping, and higher initial landscape costs have
greatly increased the need for educated personnel.
The areas of landscape design, landscape contracting,
properly done maintenance, plant and turf production,
horticultural and structural pest control, and all types
of sales-oriented positions have been targeted by the
Federal Government as professions with a critical
employee shortfall.
Positions are available in both the pest management
and horticultural business markets as foremen,
draftsmen and field assistants. Sales specialists are
needed in all aspects of landscaping, landscape design,
retail sales and aspects of pest control. Specifically in
horticulture, the broad scope of the wholesale nursery
industry in Florida opens the job market door to multi-
level supervisory positions for plant-growing
operations. On-site sales and even world-wide plant
brokering jobs exist for those whose ability lies in this
direction, or in the allied fields of nursery supplies,
soils, fertilizer and chemical products.
Although geared for entry-level students, many of the
courses meet the requirements of people currently in
the industry and seeking upward advancement, as well
as those from other professions and occupations desir-
ing a mid-life career change. The program motto of
"learn-it-today, use-it-tomorrow" expresses the
philosophy and enthusiasm existing in this pragmatic
two-year, Associate in Science curriculum. Most of the
courses are offered in the afternoon and evening, one
day a week, for the convenience of working students.
The Landscape Technology Program has assumed
responsibility for Pest Control courses. The degree
and/or credits needed to qualify for the state licensing
exam in all operator categories will now be included in
the Landscape Technology A.S. Degree Program. See
course listing for details.
The Pest Control job market has as many opportunities
as Landscaping, including residential and commercial
pest management, aquatic facilities maintenance, aerial
spraying, termite specialization, wholesale jobbers and
retail sales opportunities.
In addition to these job opportunities, these two
programs offer the student the most economical route
into the world of the self-employed. Call the program
advisor at (954) 475-6777 for personal counseling
before enrolling, if possible. All courses are offered
once a year and only in the terms shown.

DISCIPLINE/COURSE INFORMATION
English
University Parallel Program
Students enrolled in the University Parallel Program
must complete a minimum of 6 hours of English Com-
position with a grade of "C" or higher. The first
composition course in the English sequence is ENC
1101. Following successful completion of ENC 1101,
the second course may be either ENC 1102 or ENC
2210.
College Prep English Courses
Students who do not qualify for ENC 1101 must enroll
in non-credit College Preparatory courses. These cour-
ses are ENC 0010 or ENC 0021. Students enrolled in
ENC 0021 are encouraged to enroll in REA 0006C.
Advanced Grammar
LIN 1670 is designed for English majors, students who
want further work with grammar, students in beginning
foreign language courses, and public school teachers
for recertification.
Creative Writing
A cluster of specialized courses provides training and
experience in creative writing. If students wish, they
may combine these writing courses with related writing
opportunities in the Journalism Department.
English As A Second Language
English as a Second Language courses are designed to
provide English language instruction to students whose
native language is not English. Registration in courses
is required of all incoming international students (F-I
Visa) and of residents whose native language is not
English.
Placement in ESL or ENS courses is determined by an
interview and placement testing, which includes the
writing of a paragraph.
The appropriate combination of reading, speech, and
English instruction is determined individually accord-
ing to the student's existing English language skills.
Once enrolled in a sequence, a student may be ex-
empted from a course only by instructor
recommendation. Upon successful completion of the
ESL program, students may be eligible to register for
ENC 1101 after the CPT (Florida College-Level Entry
Placement Test) is taken.
Literature
In Literature courses, the ability to evaluate critically is
given paramount importance. Emphasis is placed upon
preparing the students to express themselves in both
oral and written forms. ENC 1101 is a pre-requisite for
all literature, humanities, and social sciences courses
with "writing" credits.
Journalism and Publications
The printing journalism curriculum offers students
courses in newspaper reporting and writing, editing,
photojournalism, magazine editing and production,
newspaper and magazine practicums (independent
studies) and a survey of mass communication. Most of
the courses provide practical, hands-on training and
experience with the college's student publications. Stu-
dents are prepared for and encouraged to pursue
internships or employment with the area's professional
media. Student submissions to The Observer, BCC's
student newspaper, and P'an Ku, the literary magazine,
provide opportunities to participate in state and nation-
al competitions. Both publications have won numerous
state and national awards. The journalism program
prepares students for advanced study in pursuit of a
four-year degree, and the coursework may prepare
students for employment in entry-level media positions.
Students are encouraged to contact the English
Department Heads at Central and South Campuses, or
the Communications Department Head at North Cam-
pus, regarding their particular interest and
recommended courses of study. Suggested program
sheets are available from Journalism instructors and in
the Academic Advisement Office.
Mathematics
The Mathematics Curriculum has course offerings for
mathematics majors and non-mathematics majors.
Entering students will be assigned to the mathematics
course best suited to their needs and abilities on the
basis of high school records, placement test scores,
Mathematics Department assessment and recommen-
dations, demonstrated past college performance, and
stated goals.
Option I: NON-MAJORS

in technical and specialized programs.
A student who earns a "C" or higher in a course with
one or more stated or implied pre-requisites may not
subsequently earn credit in the pre-requisite course(s)
unless approved by the Mathematics Department
Head.
Modern Foreign Languages
Students enrolled in foreign languages will receive in-
tensive preparation in the basic skills of the language so
that they will be able to continue their work and interest
in this area after graduating from Broward Community
College. A combination of modern and traditional
methods helps students learn to speak the language and
gives insight into the culture. Students are offered
language training that assists in the preparation for
upper division work or for use in a vocation or profes-
sion. Advanced courses permit students to proceed in
a given language beyond the basic skills and offer a
substantial introduction to literary masters and to the
culture of each country. Special conversation courses
at the elementary and intermediate levels are desig-
nated as 1000 and 2240 courses. For students who wish
to continue in more advanced conversation courses,
FRE 2400 and 2401 and/or SPN 2400 and 2401 are
recommended.
Modern Foreign Language Requirement
The State of Florida has mandated that as of 1989,
students who plan to enter Florida universities must
have completed two years of a high school foreign
language or 8-10 credit hours of one foreign language
at the community college level. During the registration
period, all students who have had two years or more of
a foreign language in high school and who are to con-
tinue in that language, are given placement tests to
determine their suitable level of study. Students trans-
ferring from other colleges should continue equivalent
sequential courses. Effective Fall 1997, transfer stu-
dents will be denied admission to some Florida
Universities if they have not satisfied the Foreign Lan-
guage Requirement.
Modern Foreign Language Activities
Various travel studies are available through the Inter-
national Studies Institute. See course descriptions for
FRE 1170, and SPN 1170 and available Foreign Study
Programs such as the "Semester in Seville, Spain Pro-
gram".
MFL Laboratory Attendance Requirement
Attendance in the language laboratory is required for
students in language courses. Students should note that
laboratory attendance and laboratory assignments con-
stitute a portion of the grade in language courses. In all
1120, 1121, and 2200 language courses, one hour of
course credit is given for the sixteen minimum hours
required in the language laboratory. Night courses,
weekend college courses, and open college courses are
not exempted from this requirement.

ber of students for particular courses. Students
concerned with a particular advanced class should
check the schedule for the academic term or ask the
Department Head about course offerings before in-
cluding the advanced course in their schedules.
Art supplies and materials costs for studio courses vary.
Some courses require a student fee (see course descrip-

The Theatre curriculum offers courses which are pre-
requisites to more advanced work in either educational
or professional theatre. Associate of Arts Degree
programs with emphasis in Performance, Design, and
Technical Theatre meet the requirements leading to a
major or minor in Theatre. In some instances the
Theatre program has provided an opportunity for
employment in the theatrical community upon comple-
tion of the Associate of Arts Degree.
Practical experience in the art and craft of theatre is
provided through Performance and Technical Theatre
Lab activities. Students can earn 1 - 3 hours of credit in
theatre performance if they are cast in a department
production. Students interested in technical theatre
can also register for 1-3 hours of credit when working
on set construction, lighting, sound or in some other
technical capacity.
The theatre area mounts a major production each term,
including drama, comedy, and musical theatre. A
children's theatre production is typically presented
during the summer season. All Broward Community
College students are encouraged to participate in all
theatrical activities and occasionally members of the
community are invited to take part, as well. The BCC
theatre is proud of its long tradition of staging educa-
tional theatre productions of the highest caliber which
are routinely awarded superior ratings by the Florida
Community College Activities Association.
Wellness Education
The Department of Wellness Education offers a one
semester-hour Wellness course HSC 1102C, Introduc-
tion to Healthful Living, which emphasizes "wellness"
concepts. This course satisfies Area 4D of the general
education requirements for the A. A. Degree.
All A.S. Degree students should check their program
sheets to see if Wellness is required for their major.
No exemptions shall be permitted from the Wellness
requirement because of age, veteran status or medical
reasons. Students with medical restrictions or physical
limitations must provide appropriate documentation
and shall participate on a modified basis.
Discipline/Course Information
161
A variety of activity courses will be offered on each A program of studies leading to a major in the areas of
campus for student enrichment and improvement. Wellness, Health, Physical Education, Recreation, and
These courses do not count toward the graduation Dance at an upper division institution is available. Pro-
requirement, gram sheets which list suggested courses may be
obtained from the Counseling and Advisement Office
Students should be aware that participation in physical or the Wellness Education Department. Students are
activity carries a degree of risk. Therefore, students are advised to acquaint themselves with the course requir e-
expected to follow instructions and safety precautions ments at the institution to which they plan to transfer
given by the Wellness instructor. Also, students must and select courses accordingly,
inform the instructor of any existing medical problems.
The College does not carry insurance to cover accidents
which occur during college classes. Students are ad-
vised to carry their own insurance.
162 Broward Community College 1998-99 Catalog
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 recommends 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 commit-
tees 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 institu-
tion and discipline field or specialization.
The course prefix and each digit in the course number
have meaning in the Statewide Course Numbering Sys-
tem (SCNS). The list of course prefixes and numbers,
along with their generic titles, is referred to as the
"SCNS taxonomy". Descriptions of the content of
course are referred to as "course equivalency profiles".

General Rule for Course
Equivalencies
Equivalent courses at different institutions are iden-
tified by the same prefixes and the same last three digits
of the course number and are guaranteed to be trans-
ferable between participating regionally accredited
postsecondary 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 institutions 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 specific institution. In the SCNS taxonomy,
"SYG" means "Sociology, General", the century digit
"0" represents "Entry-Level General Sociology", the
decade digit "1" represents "Survey Course", and the
unit digit "0" represents "Social Problems".
In science and other areas, "C" or "L' after the course
number is known as a lab indicator. The "C" represents
a combined lecture and laboratory course that meets in
the same place at the same time. The "L' represents a
laboratory course or the laboratory part of the 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 regionally accredited postsecondary in-
stitution to another is guaranteed in cases where the
course to be transferred is offered by the receiving
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 successfully 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 com-
pleted 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.
State Course Numbering System
163
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
institution, even if the course prefix and numbers are
the same. This information is contained in the in-
dividual 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- 10.024(19) Florida
Administrative Code, reads:
"When a student transfers among regionally ac-
credited postsecondary institutions that participate
in the common course designation and numbering
systems, the receiving institution shall award credit
for courses satisfactorily completed at the previous
participating institutions when the courses are
judged by the appropriate common course designa-
tion and numbering system faculty task forces to be
equivalent to courses offered at the receiving in-
stitution and are entered in the course numbering
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 Rule for
Equivalencies
The following are exceptions to the general rule for
course equivalencies and may not be transferable.
Transferability is at the discretion of the receiving in-
stitution:
A. Courses in the 900 - 999 series (i.e., ART 2905)
B. Internships, practica, clinical experiences, and
study abroad courses.
C. Performance or studio courses in Art, Dance,
Theatre, and Music.
D. Skills courses in Criminal Justice
E. Graduate courses
College preparatory and vocational preparatory cour-
ses may not be used to meet degree requirements and
are not transferable.
Questions about the Statewide Course Numbering Sys-
tem and appeals regarding course credit transfer
decisions should be directed to the Statewide Course
Numbering System Coordinator in the Registrar's Of-
fice of Broward Community College or the Florida
Department of Education, Office of Postsecondary
Education Coordination, 1101 Florida Education Cen-
ter, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-0400. Special reports
and technical information may be requested by calling
telephone number (850) 488-6402 or SunCom 278-
6402.

BROWARD COMMUNITY COLLEGE FOUNDATION
The Broward Community College Foundation, Inc.,
was established in 1971 for the sole purpose of provid-
ing support for programs and scholarships that
enhance the quality of education for Broward Com-
munity College's students. The Foundation is a
501(c)(3) organization whose resources and activities
are managed by a Board of Directors comprised of
outstanding Broward County business and civic
leaders. These men and women serve the Foundation
and community as volunteers to foster support for the
College.

ENDOWED TEACHING CHAIR
PROGRAM
In celebration of Broward Community College's thir-
tieth anniversity, the BCC Foundation Board of
Directors endorsed an exciting and ambitious program
to establish thirty Endowed Teaching Chairs. En-
visioned as a two-and-a-half year campaign, this
program had two major goals. The first was to enhance
the linkage between the College and community
leaders who wished to support higher education in
Broward County. The second goal was to provide a
tangible way of recognizing excellence in the classroom.
Each Endowed Chair represents a $50,000 donor con-
tribution, matched with $33,333 in State lottery
proceeds. The interest generated from this permanent
$83,333 endowment will provide a stipend to a profes-
sor who has been recognized for excellence in the
classroom and funding for an academic endeavor
designed by the Chair recipient.
In an extraordinary show of support from corporate
and individual donors, the Foundation has been able
not only to meet, but to exceed this goal! Listed below
are the 34 Endowed Teaching Chair contributors who
have made BCC's "Margin of Excellence" possible.
