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-

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

Processes  and  Procedures 


27 


12.  Provisional  admission  status  may  be  granted  if  all 
transcripts  have  not  been  received,  however,  all 
such  documents  must  be  received  no  later  than  30 
days  after  the  start  of  the  initial  term  or  the  applicant 
may  not  register  for  subsequent  course  work. 

Health  Science  Education  Admission 

All  applicants  seeking  admission  to  programs  in 
Health  Science  must  complete  a  Health  Science  ap- 
plication in  addition  to  the  regular  College  admissions 
application.  There  is  a  special  application  form,  pre- 
requisite courses  for  admission,  and  an  additional 
application  fee  (see  Health  Science  Programs). 

PROGRAM  ACCELERATION 

Academically  talented  high  school  students  may  apply 
for  admission  to  Broward  Community  College  and  en- 
roll in  college  courses  in  order  to  accelerate  their 
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 
award  credit,  Broward  Community  College  needs  an 
Official  Grade  Report,  not  a  candidate  copy.

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

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.

potential  to  be  academically  successful.  The  credentials 
of  international  applicants  are  evaluated  in  accordance 
with  the  general  regulations  governing  admission. 

The  initial  point  of  contact  for  information,  admissions,

RESIDENCY  REQUIREMENTS 

Applicants  shall  be  classified,  in  accordance  with 
Florida  Statute  240.1201,  as  residents  or  nonresidents 
for  the  purpose  of  assessing  tuition  fees  at  Broward 
Community  College.  The  Statute  is  summarized  below. 

1.  Definitions: 

a.  The  term  "dependent"  means  any  person, 
whether  or  not  living  with  his/her  parent,  who 
is  eligible  to  be  claimed  by  his/her  parent  as  a 


Processes  and  Procedures 


33 


dependent  under  the  Federal  Income  Tax 
Code. 

b.  A  "legal  resident"  is  one  who  has  maintained 
his/her  legal  residence  in  this  state  during  the 
preceding  year,  has  purchased  a  home  which 
is  occupied  by  him/her  as  his/her  residence,  or 
has  established  a  domicile  in  this  state  pur- 
suant to  FS  222.17.  (Filed  with  Circuit  Court). 

c.  The  term  "parent"  means  the  natural  or  adop- 
tive parent  or  legal  guardian  of  a  dependent. 

d.  A  "resident"  for  tuition  purposes  is  one  who 
qualifies  for  the  in-state  tuition  rate;  a  "non- 
resident" for  tuition  purposes  is  one  who  does 
not  qualify  for  the  in-state  tuition  rate. 

2.  To  qualify  as  a  resident  for  tuition  purposes: 

a.  An  applicant,  or  if  that  applicant  is  a  depend- 
ent, his/her  parent  must  have  established  legal 
residence  in  this  state  for  at  least  12  months 
immediately  prior  to  submitting  the  applica- 
tion. Simply  residing  in  Florida  is  not 
sufficient.  An  applicant  must  show  evidence  of 
domiciliary  intent. 

b.  Every  applicant  for  admission  to  Broward 
Community  College  shall  be  required  to  sub- 
mit a  statement  as  to  the  applicant's  length  of 
residence  in  the  state  and  shall  establish  what 
his/her  presence  or  the  presence  of  his/her 
parent  or  parents  in  the  state  currendy  is,  and 
during  the  requisite  12  months  qualifying 
period  was,  for  the  purpose  of  maintaining  a 
bona  fide  domicile,  Temporary  residence  in- 
cident to  enrollment  in  an  institution  of  higher 
education  does  not  count.  Applicants  who  fail 
to  make  the  required  residency  statement  will 
be  classified  as  non-residents. 

c.  With  respect  to  a  dependent  applicant  living 
with  an  adult  relative  other  than  the 
applicant's  parent,  such  applicant  may  qualify 
as  a  resident  if  the  adult  relative  has  main- 
tained legal  residence  in  this  state  for  at  least 
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

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 
the  beginning  of  Term  I  and  II,  and  participation  of  all

When  applying  for  financial  aid,  apply  as  early  as  pos-

full  academic  year  or  more. 

4.  You  will  receive  a  Federal  Student  Aid  Report 
(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.

will  be  required  to  provide  additional  documenta- 
tion such  as  signed  copies  of  your,  or  your  family's 
income  tax  forms  and  a  1998/99  Verification

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

tion and  Promissory  Note  will  be  mailed  directly  to

been  approved.  Loan  funds  will  not  be  disbursed 
until  the  Application  and  Promissory  Note  has  been 
completed  and  returned  to  the  lender.  First-time 
borrowers  must  complete  a  Loan  Entrance  Inter- 
view before  loan  funds  will  be  disbursed.  Loan 
funds  for  first-time,  first-year  borrowers  cannot  be 
disbursed  until  thirty  days  after  the  first  day  of 
classes. 

7.  It  is  extremely  important  that  you  respond  prompt- 
ly to  all  requests  for  additional  information.  Failure

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.

dependent  benefits  and  application  procedures,  stu- 
dents are  encouraged  to  request  a  copy  of  "Veterans 
Affairs",  a  handbook  which  is  available  at  the  Student

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 
18  (next  to  the  Hospitality  Center).  The  North  Campus 
Bookstore  is  located  in  Building  48  (Administrative 
Building).  The  South  Campus  Bookstore  is  located  in

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

and  group  meals.  Cafeteria  services,  snack  bar  ser-

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

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.

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.

College  Regulations 

Academic  Honors 

The  College  recognizes  scholastic  achievement  at  the 
end  of  each  regular  term  and  posts  them  to  transcripts 
and  grade  reports. 

The  President's  List  includes  the  names  of  students 
carrying  twelve  (12)  or  more  semester  hours  who  have 
a  grade  point  average  of  4.0. 

The  Dean's  List  includes  the  names  of  students  carrying 
twelve  ( 12)  or  more  semester  hours  who  have  a  grade 
point  average  of  3.50  to  3.99. 

The  Honor  Roll  includes  the  names  of  students  carrying 
twelve  (12)  or  more  semester  hours  who  have  a  grade 
point  average  of  3.25  to  3.49 

Academic  Load 

To  be  considered  full-time,  students  must  carry  a  mini- 
mum load  of  twelve  (12)  credit  hours  per  academic 
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. 

Last  Term  of  Residence 

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-

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

STATE  REGULATIONS 
The  Gordon  Rule 


State  Rule  6A- 10.030,  known  as  the  Gordon  Rule,  re- 
quires that  students  graduating  with  an  Associate  of 
Arts  Degree  meet  the  following  provisions  in  the  areas 
of  writing  and  mathematics: 

Writing  -  All  students  must  complete  a  minimum  of 
24,000  words  of  writing  in  specifically  designated  cour- 
ses. In  all  writing  courses,  a  grade  of  "C"  or  higher  is 
necessary  to  meet  the  A.A.  Degree  requirements. 

1.  Students  shall  complete  12,000  words  under  the 
guided  instruction  provided  in  the  six  (6)  credit 
hours  of  English  Composition.  This  can  be  satisfied 
by  taking  ENC  1101  and  either  ENC  1102  or 
ENC  2210. 

2.  The  remaining  12,000  words  may  be  completed  in 
either  of  the  following  ways: 

a.  A  third  college-level  composition  course 
(6,000  words)  and  two  (2)  courses  from  Areas 
2  and  3  designated  as  writing  courses  (3,000 
words  per  course). 


b.  Four  (4)  courses  from  Areas  2  and  3  design 
nated  as  writing  courses  (3,000  words  per 
course). 

In  each  of  these  courses,  a  variety  of  writing  assign- 
ments relevant  to  the  content  of  the  courses  may  be 
made. 

Mathematics  -  All  students  must  complete  six  (6)  credit 
hours  at  the  college  algebra  level  or  higher.  For  most 
students,  this  requirement  may  be  met  by  taking 
MAC  1105  and  MGF  1106.  Other  options  are  detailed 
in  Area  5  of  the  A.A.  Degree  General  Education  Re- 
quirements. In  all  Mathematics  courses,  a  grade  of  "C"

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. 

SKILLS  TESTED 

The  skills  measured  by  CLAST  in  English  (Essay  and 
English  Language),  Reading,  and  Mathematics,  have 
been  agreed  upon  by  community  college  and  State 
university  faculty  members. 

The  following  courses  offered  at  Broward  Community 
College  cover  the  skills  tested  by  CLAST:

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-

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

Students  should  consult  the  schedule  of  classes  to  ob- 
tain specific  information  regarding  days/dates,  times,

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.

students  an  opportunity  to  begin  or  continue  their 
academic  work  on  Friday  evenings,  Saturday  mornings,

difficult  to  enroll  in  regularly  scheduled  daytime  or 
evening  classes.

able to  students  during  the  week  for  telephone 
consultation.

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.

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

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  of  Arts  Degree  provides  the  courses  of 
study  equivalent  to  those  offered  to  the  freshman  and 
sophomore  students  in  the  lower  division  of  Florida's 
state  universities.  If  students  receive  the  Associate  of 
Arts  Degree  from  Broward  Community  College,  their 
degree  will,  in  most  cases,  meet  the  lower  division 
requirements  of  a  university  and  will  admit  them  to  the 
junior-level  status.  The  degree  requirements  consist  of 
the  General  Education  Requirements  which  parallel 
the  university  requirements  and  electives  in  prepara- 
tion for  a  major  area  of  study.

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. 

General  Education  Requirements  - 
Associate  in  Science  Degree 

General  Education  Requirements  for  the  Associate  in 
Science  Degree,  as  specified  in  individual  program 
sheets,  must  total  a  minimum  of  fifteen  ( 15)  credit  hours

Health  Science  Continuing 
Education  And  Workforce 
Development  Programs 

The  Continuing  Education  Program  provides  educa- 
tional opportunities  for  health  related  professionals 
who  desire  to  increase  their  knowledge  and  skills  based 
on  a  continuum.  The  program  supports  and  assists  in 
implementing  the  philosophy  and  purpose  of  the  Col- 
lege. This  is  done  primarily  through  continuing 
education  offerings  for  health  care  providers.  Target 
groups  include  medical  office  personnel,  dental  assis- 
tants and  hygienists,  dietitians,  licensed  registered  and 
practical  nurses,  medical  assistants,  medical  laboratory 
personnel,  nursing  home  administrators,  radiog- 
raphers, physical  therapists  and  assistants,  respiratory 
therapists,  and  psychological  services  licensees. 

Health  Science  Continuing  Education  is  an  approved 
provider  for  the  American  Association  of  Medical  As- 
sistants; American  Dietetic  Association;  Board  of

Interprofessional  collaboration  in  programming  fosters 
interaction  among  health  care  practitioners  in  order  to 
provide  improved  quality  health  care.  We  support  the 
concept  of  learning  as  a  continuous  process  of  formal 
and  informal  educational  learning  experiences.  Con- 
tinuing Education  is  supplemental  to  formal  education 
and,  therefore,  most  appropriate  as  short-term,  non- 
credit  offerings. 

Offerings  are  available  at  all  campus  sites  and  various 
off  campus  facilities.  Day,  evening  and  weekend  classes 
provide  opportunity  for  continuing  education.  The  for- 
mat for  classes  includes  seminars,  workshops,  short- 
and  long-term  courses  and  special  educational 
programs.  College  credit  courses,  home  study,  audio 
and  video  offerings  are  also  available.  Contracted  in- 
structional services  meet  the  needs  of  individual 
institutions,  agencies,  or  groups. 

Noncredit  and  credit  courses  are  in  the  publication,

Medical  Assisting  Program 

The  Medical  Assisting  Program  is  a  10  month  post- 
secondary  adult  vocational  certificate  program. 

The  role  of  the  Medical  Assistant  within  the  physician's 
office  is  becoming  more  varied,  demanding,  and  com- 
plex. Duties  and  responsibilities  may  encompass  those 
skills  of  administrator,  clinician,  or  technician.  In  many 
instances,  the  Medical  Assistant  functions  in  all  three 
areas  while  being  a  public  relations  specialist. 

The  Medical  Assisting  Certificate  Program  is  Ac- 
credited by  the  Commission  on  Accreditation  of  Allied 
Health  Education  Programs  (CAAHEP)  on  recom- 
mendation of  the  Committee  on  Accreditation  for 
Medical  Assistant  Education. 

The  placement  of  students  into  externships  in 
physicians'  offices  offers  maximum  flexibility  and  has 
been  especially  designed  to  meet  the  individual  needs 
of  the  student,  thus  allowing  for  the  development  of 
specific  skills  within  a  chosen  interest  or  specialty  area. 
Students  enrolled  in  externships  will  be  required  to 
spend  a  total  of  200  hours.

MLT-C.  They  will  be  eligible  to  take  a  national  certify- 
ing examination  for  Medical  Laboratory  Technician 
and  the  Florida  State  Licensure  Examination  for  Clini- 
cal Laboratory  Technologist.

Nursing  (Associate  Degree)  R.N. 
Program 

The  Associate  Degree  Program  in  Nursing  is  designed 
to  prepare  men  and  women  for  a  career  as  registered 
nurses.  The  program  recognizes  as  its  purpose  the 
education  of  persons  to  provide  competent  nursing 
care  at  the  technical  level  and  to  contribute  to  the 
promotion  of  health  in  the  community. 

The  Nursing  Program  is  approved  by  the  Florida  State 
Board  of  Nursing,  accredited  by  the  National  League 
for  Nursing  Accrediting  Commission,  350  Hudson 
Street,  New  York,  NY,  10014,  and  holds  membership  in 
the  Associate  Degree  Council  of  the  National  League 
for  Nursing. 

The  Department  of  Nursing  Technology  offers  an  As- 
sociate in  Science  Degree  in  Nursing  to  both  Licensed 
Practical  Nurses  (LPN)  and  those  who  have  no  pre- 
vious nursing  education.  The  LPN/RN  Transition  Track 
recognizes  the  LPN's  nursing  knowledge  and  skills. 


Degrees  and  Certificates 


105 


This  is  designed  for  the  LPN  who  feels  qualified  to 
participate  in  an  accelerated  track.  The  Generic  Track 
is  for  the  applicant  who  has  no  previous  nursing  educa- 
tion or  the  LPN  who  does  not  wish  to  enroll  in  an 
accelerated  track. 

The  program  combines  studies  in  general  education 
and  nursing  education  at  the  College  with  selected 
clinical  experiences  in  hospitals  and  other  community 
facilities.  Nursing  courses  require  students  to  spend  20 
to  36  hours  per  week  in  the  classroom  and  clinical 
settings. 

Students  are  scheduled  for  both  day  and  evening  clini- 
cals  throughout  the  program.  It  is  expected  that 
students  will  have  made  arrangements  to  meet  these 
hours. 

Graduates  will  receive  an  Associate  in  Science  Degree 
in  Nursing  which  meets  the  academic  requirements  for 
eligibility  to  write  the  National  Council  Licensure  Ex- 
amination (NCLEX)  for  licensure  as  a  Registered 
Nurse. 

A  STUDENT  WHO  HAS  BEEN  ARRESTED  (AD- 
JUDICATED GUILTY)  OF  A  FELONY  OFFENSE  IS 
NOT  ELIGIBLE  TO  TAKE  THE  NCLEX  LICEN- 
SURE EXAMINATION  OR  BE  LICENSED  BY 
ENDORSEMENT  UNTIL  SUCH  TIME  AS  CIVIL

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.

Radiography  Programs 

The  Radiographer  assists  Radiologists  and  other 
Physicians  by  operating  X-ray  equipment  and  prepar- 
ing patients  for  diagnostic  X-rays.  He/she  takes 
radiographs  of  internal  parts  of  the  body  to  seek 
evidence  of  disease  or  injury  or  to  provide  other  sig- 
nificant medical  information.  The  Radiographer 
adjusts  X-ray  equipment,  positions  the  patient  and 
determines  proper  voltage,  current  and  exposure  time 
for  each  radiograph.  The  Radiographer  may  also 
process  X-ray  film,  perform  radiographs  in  surgery, 
and  perform  other  tasks  as  assigned. 

The  Radiography  Program  is  fully  accredited  by  the 
Southern  Association  of  Colleges  and  Schools  and  the 
State  of  Florida.

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

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

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

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

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.
