A College For The Community
History
Spanning a length of 125 miles, Monroe County
has a diverse population with changing needs.
Florida Keys Community College is proud to meet
those needs from Key Largo to Key West.
In 1963, the Florida Legislature authorized the
establishment of the Junior College District of
Monroe County to be supported primarily by state
funds. The first classes of the new college were
held at the former Douglass High School in the
fall of 1965 under the leadership of Dr. Merrill A.
Symonds, the first president.
FKCC is the southernmost college in the continental United States and its main campus is located only minutes from downtown Key West. The
Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic Ocean with its living coral reef surround the main campus.
Since its establishment in 1965, FKCC has been
offering Keys residents the opportunity for higher
education with its Associate in Arts Degree program, also known as the University Transfer
degree. Additionally, the college offers nationally
recognized degree programs in specialized areas
of study such as the marine sciences. Students
prepare for careers with FKCC s Associate in
Science and Associate in Applied Science degree
programs and the shorter Certificate programs.
These degree programs include: Marine
Engineering, Management & Seamanship;
Nursing; Computer Programming & Analysis;
Criminal Justice Technology; Business
Administration; Diving Business & Technology;
Marine Environmental Technology; Graphic
Design Technology, and MultiMedia Technology.
The college is an integral part of the Florida Keys
community, providing a well-trained workforce for
local businesses and agencies. Professional
emergency training is provided through FKCC s
Emergency Medical Services program, the
Institute of Criminal Justice and various marine
safety courses.
The balmy weather of the Florida Keys enables
the college to offer year-round activities in scuba
diving, and other water sports. The FKCC Dive
Lagoon has been called one of the most beautiful
in the world, and features an underwater classroom where students get an "up close and personal" look at sea life. Timbers from the worldfamous "Atocha" treasure ship are on underwater
display in the Lagoon for study.
There are three FKCC campus sites: the main
campus in Key West, and two centers located in
Marathon and Tavernier. All three provide a
pleasant atmosphere where students can enjoy
tropical island living while pursuing studies in
higher education. The favorable student-faculty
ratio promotes our commitment to developing the
educational potential of each student.
The college name was changed in 1968 to Florida
Keys Junior College. That fall, the college moved
to the new campus on Stock Island under the
direction of Dr. John Sylvester Smith, who served
as president from 1967-1979.
Florida Keys Community College became the official name of the college by action of the Board of
Trustees in 1970, and it is now one of Florida’s
Great 28 community colleges.
Dr. William A. Seeker received his appointment as
the third president of the college on July 1, 1979.
He supervised the completion of the College s
Tennessee Williams Fine Arts Center and
presided over the gala opening of the center’s
new theater on January 24, 1980.
The 1980s ushered in new programs such as
Diving Business Management, Small Business
Management, and Emergency Medical Services,
thus continuing the development of programs,
facilities, and services which began at the inception of the college. Support programs and services for transfer and vocational students
emerged more strongly. The Upper Keys Center
in Tavernier and the Middle Keys Center in
Marathon both saw expansion in enrollment and
scope of offerings.
The 1990s saw many structural changes on campus. The Charlie Toppino Welding Technology
Lab was completed, as well as the Ron Saunders
Student Center and the Public Safety Building.
Our new Scuba Dive Complex provides the muchneeded space for our world famous Diving program. In 1997, the college unveiled its bright new
$40 million campus named after the president
who helped to garner legislative support and funding, Dr. William A. Seeker. The new facilities feature spacious classrooms and modern laboratories, an ideal setting for learning the careers and
technologies of the 21st Century.
FKCC continues to expand its role in the community, and with it, its campus facilities. New in
2003, were the College s Marine Public Safety
Annex and Hyperbarric Chambers as well as a
newly rennovated Photography Lab now located
in Building B.

FKCC Library Acceptable Internet
Use Policy
I. Internet Uses
The FKCC Library Internet access is intended primarily as an information resource to support the
educational and research needs of our community
college students, faculty and staff. Access is
granted to support cultural, social, and community
service programs of the College. We extend the
privilege of access to the community when they
become a library user according to our community
borrower policy; however, FKCC students, faculty
and staff retain first priority. FKCC Library
Internet use is NOT allowed for commercial or illegal purposes.
II. Internet Content Responsibilities
The Internet is a global network of multimedia
information with no central authority or governing
body. The library can and does recommend interesting and useful Internet sites and resources for
our patrons to explore. The primary gateway to
recommended sites is through the FKCC library
website. However, providing a link in no way
means we are responsible for the content of those
sites.
Because the Internet has no governing body,
there may be material that is offensive to some
patrons. It is the patron s responsibility to monitor
use. Sites containing nudity, obscenity, or graphic
violence are not considered appropriate due to
public terminal display.
You are required to return to the FKCC Library
website (click on home), or exit the browser after
use. If you fail to do so the library has the right to
deny future access. This is to protect your privacy, and the right of others to access Internet
materials only of their interest.
III. Time Limits
Time limits can and will be set to assure the
greatest access for the greatest number of
patrons. Time limits will be posted, and will be
enforced when demand exceeds the supply of
work stations available. We have the right to
change these time limits to allow the greatest
access to the greatest number of patrons, but
again time limits will be posted.
IV. Printing
Printing everything you see can be tempting in the
library environment, where there is no direct cost
to you, the user. However, we must pay for
paper, toner, and printer upkeep. By limiting your
printing to only the information you need, you
enable us to keep this "free to the user" service
available. If too many resources are consumed,
the library reserves the right to charge for printing.
See signs for any indication of charges.
Remember, downloading a page to a disk is possible for later retrieval and printing on your personal computer if you have browser software.
V. Chat Rooms
Chat rooms for pleasure use will not be given priority in our library. We discourage lengthy discussions, unless of an academic nature, relating to
course work or research. Patrons wishing to conduct research will be given priority.
VI. E-Mail
FKCC Library does not provide e-mail accounts
for its students or patrons. You can get free e-mail
accounts from various Internet sources. If you
access your e-mail on our computers, please realize that this is a low priority. Patrons wishing to
conduct research will be given priority.
VII. Downloading/Changing Configuration
You are NOT permitted to download to the hard
drive on any library computer. You are NOT
allowed to make permanent changes to browser
configuration, such as default e-mail address. If
you do either of the above without permission
from a library staff member, we have the right to
deny further access.

Audit students should be regular and punctual in
attendance and should make regular class preparation. No tests or examinations are required in the
class. A grade of "X", which carries no credit, will be

may not change to audit beyond the last day to
withdraw from class.
Students Still in High School
Superior high school students who evidence
exceptional talent, emotional stability and social
maturity may attend Florida Keys Community
College prior to their high school graduation.
There are three types of enrollment available for
high school students: dual enrollment, dual enrollment/dual credit, and early admissions.
In most cases, acceptance into these programs is
based on the student having completed the ninth
grade.
The applicant must have written approval from
his/her high school principal to take courses and
to have college credits applied toward high school
graduation, with the exception of courses taught
at the high school as part of the high school’s dual
enrollment/dual credit program.
Normally high school students may register for
three to six credit hours during a semester.
However, students who have fulfilled the majority
of the requirements for their senior year may be
permitted to register for up to twelve credit hours
per semester, provided they have maintained a
3.0 G.P.A. Credit loads exceeding six hours are
approved by the High School Principal and the
Director of Enrollment Services.
Dual enrollment students are those high school
students enrolled in both high school and in
FKCC college campus-based courses. Credits
earned at FKCC are applicable to a college
degree but not towards high school graduation.
Dual enrollment/dual credit students are those
high school students enrolled in both high school
and FKCC. Credits earned at FKCC (normally in
courses offered at the high school) are applicable
to both a college degree and high school
graduation.
Early admissions
Academically superior high school students may
attend FKCC in lieu of their junior and/or senior
year in high school. Credits earned at FKCC are
applicable to both a college degree and high
school graduation. As in the case of Dual
Enrollment/Dual Credit, students must have
advance approval from the high school principal to
participate in the program and to have their college
credits apply toward high school graduation.
Nursing Program -- Selective
Admission Requirements
The Nursing Program admits a limited number of
students each year, in the fall term. Licensed
practical nurses (LPN s) are admitted to an accelerated program in January, pending the offering of
this track. Class size is determined annually
based on available faculty, funding and clinical
practice resources. Consequently, admission to
the nursing program is a selective process.
Acceptance to the program is based on meeting
Nursing Program Admission requirements. To
increase the possibility of admission, selection
points are accrued based on an objective points
system, in which the following factors are considered:
1. Educational preparation (quality points earned
in required A.S. degree in Nursing general education courses).
2. Healthcare training (certificates/licenses) and
certified experience.
3. Optional health related course work.
4. Monroe County Residency.
Prospective applicants residing in Monroe or Dade
County, Florida, must attend a Nursing Information
Session to obtain Information and Application

established deadlines for the applicant to be considered for admission in August.

advising process to help place students into proper
levels of English, reading, and mathematics courses.
Contact Counseling Services for testing schedule at
296-9081, Ext. 496.
Students who can provide official ACT, SAT, or CPT
scores two years current, or students who have
already taken English (college prep or composition)
and math (college prep or higher) at another college
or university and have had their transcript(s) sent to
FKCC are not required to take the placement test.
Further information concerning the placement test is

21
Entry Assessment for Non-Native
Speakers of English
Instruction at FKCC is in the English language.
Non-native speakers of English wishing to pursue
a course of study for credit must demonstrate that
they possess an adequate level of English proficiency.
Since FKCC does not offer intensive beginning level
English as a Second Language (EAP courses), nonnative English speaking students must complete a
beginning level course before the Levels of English
Proficiency (LOEP) can be administered. Please
contact Counseling Services for programs within the
community offering EAP courses at a beginning
level. Once the intensive beginning level has been
completed, or a student demonstrates an adequate
understanding of English, he/she can sit for the
LOEP. Results of this test are used to determine the
English proficiency level of the student.
Students who score below a 106 on the LOEP,or
below 560 (paper version) or 220 (computer version)
on the TOEFL will be required to complete ESL
courses. Information regarding the LOEP and
TOEFL tests can be obtained in Counseling
Services.
22
ACCELERATION
OF
DEGREE COMPLETION
Acceleration of degree completion can be
achieved through National programs of credit by
examinations, which include CLEP (College Level
Examination Program), EXCELSIOR (formerly
PEP and Regents) and DANTES (Defense Activity
of Non-Traditional Education Support).
Examination Program (CLEP) examination scores
per FAC 6A-10 guidelines and the Articulation
Coordinating Committee Credit-By-Exam
Equivalents, adopted September 19, 2001 as follows on the next page:
Credit is earned after the Director of Enrollment
Services has evaluated the official score report
and specifies the course for which credit is being
offered. Students receive credit for courses, but
not letter grades, and the earned credits are not
computed in grade-point averages. Students may
use CLEP, DANTES, and EXCELSIOR credit
under the repeat course policy for D or F
grades only; credit will not be awarded for courses
in which you have earned a C or better. If you
earn an acceptable score in a course in which you
previously earned a D or F , the credit will be
recorded and the D or F no longer will be computed in your GPA; no letter grade or quality
points will be assigned for the credit. Credits
earned through CLEP, EXCELSIOR and DANTES
do not satisfy FKCC’s residency requirements for
degree completion. CLEP registration forms and
additional information are available in the Testing
Office located in Counseling Services, Key West,
or at the Middle and Upper Keys centers.
CLEP Examinations
The College-Level Examination Program, unlike
Advanced Placement, is not built around a curriculum, but rather is designed to test students
knowledge on a variety of college-level subjects,
regardless of where they may have learned the
material. CLEP exams are developed by committees of college faculty who design questions
based on what is typically covered in lower-level
college courses and who set passing standards
for the exams (scores are no longer based on
studies of student performance in college courses). With the new computer-based tests, new
questions are constantly being added, especially
in rapidly changing fields such as Computer
Science. The typical passing score on computerbased CLEP exams for general education purposes is 50, although paper and pencil versions will
be different. More information about CLEP, including recent test information guides, can be found at
www.collegeboard.com/clep/.

INTERNATIONAL BACCALAUREATE (IB) PROGRAM
International Baccalaureate (IB)
Program
The International Baccalaureate program is a
challenging curriculum offered in high schools
around the world that is designed to prepare students for advanced work in many countries postsecondary systems. Because it is international,
the curriculum is not always as closely aligned
with courses in American colleges and universities as Advanced Placement courses, and students and teachers often choose topics within a
fairly wide range. Students frequently conduct
independent projects as part of the curriculum.
Many subjects have both Standard Level and
Higher Level versions, which typically require
additional specialized research or independent
work. International Baccalaureate assessments
are conducted worldwide, so that an American
student s work may be evaluated by a teacher in
Singapore or vice-versa, and they often include
substantial long-answer components or assessment of student research projects or portfolios. It
may be helpful for institutions to talk with the student or to see the student s projects in order to
26
assign appropriate credit.
Holders of IB Diplomas have been assessed in
several subjects and have fulfilled certain other
requirements, such as an extended essay.
Students may also be assessed in individual subjects without trying for the diploma. The creditgranting recommendations below give some additional weight to the performance of diploma holders because of the interdisciplinary rigor of the
entire program. More information about the IB
program is available at www.ibo.org.

Excelsior College Examinations
Military Credit
Excelsior College Examinations (formerly known
as Regents College Exams or the Proficiency
Examination Program) are developed by Excelsior
College using national committees of faculty consultants and national studies to assess how well
the tests measure the performance of students in
actual college courses. Excelsior College
Examinations are approved by the American
Council on Education and Excelsior College itself
is accredited by the Middle States Association of
Colleges and Schools (MSACS). More detailed
information about Excelsior College
Examinations, including detailed test descriptions,
can be found on-line at http://www.excelsior.edu.
Degree-seeking students enrolled who wish to
translate military service school credits into college credits may do so by submitting a SMART
(Sailor/Marine) or AARTS (Army) transcript to the
Office of Enrollment Services. More information
on obtaining a SMART transcript can be found at
https://smart.cnet.navy.mil. For information on
obtaining an AARTS transcript go to
https://aarts.leavenworth.army.mil.
Credit-By-Institutional
Examination
A student may challenge the content of certain college and vocational (workforce development) credit
courses and earn credit upon successful completion of an institutional exam. A student may not
apply for course credit through an FKCC institutional exam if a CLEP, EXCELSIOR or DANTES
examination is available, unless that student is a
Monroe County Tech-Prep student. Students
should be aware that FKCC institutional exams
may not be offered for certain courses due to the
nature of a particular course’s content.
To be eligible to take an institutional exam, the student must: (a) be currently enrolled in a credit
course other than that being challenged or have
completed prior credit course work at FKCC; (b)
not have taken an institutional exam for the course
at any previous time; (c) not previously taken the
course at FKCC or through transfer credit; (d)
obtain permission from the appropriate instructor
and pay a pre-determined institutional exam fee at
the Business Office.
A student who successfully completes an institutional exam with a score of 80% or higher (70% or
higher for the NLN exam) will be awarded credit for
the course. Students may not attempt Credit by
Institutional Exam more than once in the same
course. For additional information contact the
Testing Office in Counseling Services, Key West or
the Center Directors at the Middle or Upper Keys
Centers.

FEE INFORMATION
Application Fee
Each new applicant is charged a $20 application
fee which covers the costs of handling the application. This is a one-time fee and covers all subsequent enrollments. This fee applies to credit and
audit students, whether full-time or part-time, day
or evening. The application fee is not refundable
or transferable.
International application fee is $50.00.
Matriculation and Tuition Fees
Required tuition fees are established by the
Florida Keys Community College District Board of
Trustees under State Board of Education regulations. In accordance with Florida statutes, 6% of
tuition and matriculation fees is placed in a scholarship fund.
Resident Information and
Requirements
A student s residence classification is determined
at the time of his/her admission to Florida Keys
Community College.
The Florida law regarding residency for tuition purposes allows U.S. citizens and lawful permanent
residents to be classified as a Florida resident for
tuition purposes if the applicant or the dependent
applicant s parent/legal guardian has been a legal
resident of the State for at least 12 months preceding the first day of classes of the term for
which Florida residency is sought.
To qualify as a resident for tuition purposes an
applicant or the dependent applicant s parent/legal
guardian must have established and maintained
legal residence in Florida for at least 12 months
prior to the first day of classes of the term for
which residency status is sought. A copy of the
student s most recent tax return or other documentation may be requested to establish dependence/independence.
In addition, every such applicant is required to
make a statement as to his/her length of residence in the state and further establish that
his/her presence or dependent s parents/legal
guardian s presence in the state currently is, and
during the requisite 12 month qualifying period
was, for the purposes of maintaining a bona fide
domicile, rather than a mere temporary residence
30
or abode incidental to enrollment in Florida Keys
Community College.
Florida Statutes, Section 240.1201 permits certain
applicants who do not meet the 12-month legal
residence requirements to be classified as Florida
residents for tuition purposes. These exceptional
categories are as follows:
1. Dependent children residing with a legal resident adult relative other than the parent for at
least 5 years.
2. Persons married to legal Florida residents and
who intend to make Florida their permanent home,
and who relinquish their legal ties to any other
state.
3. Persons who were enrolled as Florida residents
for tuition purposes at a Florida public institution of
higher education, but who abandon Florida residency and then re-enroll in Florida within 12
months of the abandonment.
4. Active duty members of the armed services of
the United States residing or stationed in Florida
(and spouse/dependent children) or military personnel not stationed in Florida whose home of
record or state of legal residence certificate, DD
Form 2058, is Florida (and spouse/dependent children).
5. U.S. citizens living on the Isthmus of Panama,
who have completed 12 consecutive months of
college work at the Florida State University
Panama Canal Branch, and their spouses and
dependent children.
6. Full time instructional and administrative personnel employed by the State public school system, community colleges and institutions of higher
education (and spouse/dependent children).
7. Students from Latin America and the Caribbean
who receive scholarships from the federal or state
government. The student must attend, on a fulltime basis, a Florida institution of higher education.
8. Full time employees of state agencies or political subdivisions of the state when the student fees
are paid by the state agency or political subdivision for the purpose of job related law enforcement or corrections training.
9. Qualified beneficiaries under the Florida PrePaid Postsecondary Expense Program per s.
240.551(7)(a).
10. A dependent child whose parents are
divorced, separated, or otherwise living apart, will
be considered a resident for tuition purposes if
either parent is a legal resident of Florida, regardless of which parent claims the minor for tax purposes.
The law allows non-U.S. Citizens, such as lawful
permanent residents, temporary permanent residents, asylees, parolees, and refugees who have
applied for and been approved for such status
and who otherwise meet the 12 month legal residence requirements, to be eligible to establish
Florida residency for tuition purposes.
Change in Residency Status
A student who applies to FKCC as a non-Florida
resident and later becomes a Florida resident for
tuition purposes must request a change in resident status prior to registering. A Request for
Change of Resident Status for Tuition Purposes
form is available in the Office of Enrollment
Services. Change in resident status is not
retroactive.

Florida Residents
(matriculation fee). . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $ 58.86
Non-Florida Residents
(matriculation and tuition fee). . . . . . . . $220.38
Except for the deferment of fees for qualified veterans, all fees are due at the time of registration.
The College has no legal provisions for the extension of credit of any kind. No registration will be
completed until all fees and prior financial obligations to the College have been paid in full.
Students may not attend classes until this is
accomplished. Personal checks, Visa, Master
Card and American Express for the amount of
fees due may be accepted.
Deferment of Fees for Qualified
Veterans
Under the provisions of Florida Law, any eligible
veteran or other person who wishes to pursue an
approved program of education or training within
the meaning of Chapter 34 or 35 Title 38 United
States Code at any institution within the State
University System or Community College System
shall be allowed one (1) deferment for the payment of registration fees within any 12-month period. This is considered to be the 12-month period
commencing on the first day of regular registration
of the term for which the eligible veteran is
requesting deferment.
No deferment can be longer than sixty (60) days
or up to ten (10) days prior to the end of the term
(last day of final examination) whichever is shorter. The deferment shall be given on the first day of
registration for the first term of enrollment. Failure
to pay deferred fees when due will result in being
withdrawn from courses with the full fees still
being owed by the Veteran. Full repayment is due
whether or not the Veteran receives his/her VA
benefits.
No deferment shall be granted to an eligible person who has received advanced or prepaid educational benefits from the Veterans Administration.
Student Activity Fee
A fee equal to 10% of the matriculation fee is
charged for student activity expenses.

STUDENT FINANCIAL AID
Philosophy
Florida Keys Community College prides itself on
its personal approach to helping students and
their families plan to meet the costs of attending
college. The Financial Aid Office operates with
the utmost concern for the student. Students who
qualify for financial aid can attend Florida Keys
Community College with a variety of resources
from institutional, state, federal, and other public
and private agencies. All students interested in
Financial Aid are encouraged to apply as early as
possible and to contact the Financial Aid Office for
special help.
How to Apply
Students applying for any type of financial assistance are required to file the Free Application for
Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). This application is
available in January for the next academic year
and may be obtained from your high school guidance counselor or any college or university nationwide. The application may also be completed and
submitted via the Internet at www. fafsa.ed.gov.
All students who are filing for FAFSA need to
complete the Florida Financial Aid Application at
the following website:
www.floridastudentfinancialaid.org
When completing the FAFSA, be sure to include
Florida Keys Community College in the
Information Release section of the form. Our
Federal Code is 001485.
Completed FAFSAs are submitted directly to the
Federal processing agency, which processes the
application and then forwards the information to
Florida Keys Community College, and to you in
the form of a Student Aid Report. Determination
of eligibility for all forms of Title IV financial aid
offered at Florida Keys Community College are
determined by the Department of Education.
It is important to note that students must reapply
each academic year for financial aid.
How Eligibility is Determined
After your application is processed and the information is received by Florida Keys Community College,
the college determines your budget (an estimate of
your expenses as a student at Florida Keys
Community College), your family contribution (the
amount your family can be expected to contribute
toward those expenses) and your need (the maximum amount of financial aid for which you can qualify). Your family contribution is subtracted from
your budget to determine your level of need.
If you apply for aid simultaneously at several colleges, your family contribution should remain the
same at each institution. Your budget would vary,
as would your need; the higher the budget the
greater your need.
Students receiving any form of financial aid should
report to the Financial Aid Office during the registration process.
Student Loan Receivables
Students eligible to receive a Federal Family
Education Loan (with completed files and loan
applications) will receive a deferment of the cost
of tuition and fees only. All book charges will be
the responsibility of the student. Upon receipt of
the loan proceeds, the deferred tuition and fees
will be paid and any remaining balance will be
refunded to the student. The deferred tuition and
fees will continue to be the responsibility of the
student even if the loan proceeds do not arrive for
any reason during the term. The student will not
be allowed to register in future terms until the
charges have been paid in full.
Reimbursement of Charges
Florida Keys Community College will consider
applications for financial aid at any time throughout the year but, priority is given to processed
applications received by May 1 (for aid during the
upcoming academic year). To ensure that the college receives your application by this date, you
should submit your application for processing by
April 30. Applications received at Florida Keys
Community College after May 1 will be reviewed
in the order they are received, subject to availability of funds.
Students that are deemed eligible after the normal
registration period that have paid for their classes
using some other means will be reimbursed for their
educational expenses up to the amount of the
award.
Grant Programs
Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity
Grant (SEOG)
35
This is a direct grant assistance awarded to students with exceptional need, and must be Pell eligible. Due to limited funding, this source depletes
quickly and is normally awarded to first priority
students (those students who apply prior to May
1st). There is no obligation to repay this source.
Federal Pell Grant
Florida Keys Community College students are eligible to participate in the Federal Pell Grant program. The government awards Federal Pell
Grants with eligibility determined by a formula that
applies to all students throughout the country.
Under normal conditions, a student’s Federal Pell
Grant will not change from institution to institution.
Students must be enrolled in a degree or certificate program. Eligibility is determined by the
results of the FAFSA application.
Florida Student Assistance Grant (FSAG)
All Florida residents who qualify for aid and who
are degree seeking students at Florida Keys
Community College are eligible to apply for a
Florida Student Assistance Grant. Florida
Department of Education provides extra funding for
eligible students who meet the application deadline. Releasing your information on the Free
Application for Federal Student Aid to your state
agency acts as your application for this source.
Final determination of the award will be made
roughly two weeks after the close of our regular
add/drop period. Funds will be distributed upon
receipt from the appropriate state agency (normally
mid-term).
Work Programs
Federal College Workstudy Program (CWS)
This is an opportunity to work part-time on campus, 10 to 20 hours per week. Students must
request participation in the CWS program by completing an application. Applications are available
in the Financial Aid Office. Please contact our
office for further information (preferably before
registration of any given term).
Actual job placement is dependent upon your education objectives, prior work skills, and availability of
work-study positions. Eligibility is determined by the
results of the FAFSA.
Loan Programs
Federal Family Education Loan Programs
Students taking at least six (6) credit hours per
semester may apply for a Stafford Loan through a
private lending institution via the Financial Aid
36
Office. Total aggregate loan debt, including debt
from other post-secondary institutions, can not
exceed $23,000, this is one-half the allowable
amount at a four year institution.
Subsidized Stafford Loans carry no interest payment while a student is enrolled in school for at
least six (6) credits. Repayment begins six months
after the student ceases to be enrolled at least half
time.
A student applying for an Unsubsidized Stafford
Loan must realize that interest payments are due
immediately upon borrowing. Please contact our
office for additional information.
Available to the parent of a dependent student is
the Parent Loan for Undergraduate Students. For
information and applications, please contact our
office. Eligibility is determined by the results of
the FAFSA.
Scholarship Programs
Academic Excellence and Board of Trustees
Scholarships
These two scholarships are offered to the senior
classes of Monroe County high schools each
year. Both cover the cost of tuition for a full twoyear period. Academic Excellence scholarships
are offered to the top 10% of the graduating class
and Board of Trustee scholarships are application
based. Monroe County seniors should consult
their high school guidance counselors for application procedures. Must be a FLORIDA resident.

basis to qualifying minority* students. The scholarship provides a tuition and fee waiver, but does
not cover books. Students must declare degree
seeking status to be eligible to apply. Scholarship
is open to graduating High School students and

annually. Interested applicants should contact the
Financial Aid Office for eligibility criteria.
There are various private scholarships that may
be used to attend Florida Keys Community
College. If you are a recipient of a private scholarship(s), please contact the Financial Aid Office.
Financial Aid Satisfactory
Progress Policy
As part of the continued eligibility criteria for financial aid recipients, students must maintain satisfactory academic progress towards a specified degree
established by Federal, State, and Institutional policies and regulations. At Florida Keys Community
College, this means that the student must maintain
a semester grade point average of at least 2.0 and
not surpass the credit limits set forth by Federal
Regulations (see next page).
Satisfactory Progress Average
At the completion of each term, a Satisfactory
Progress Average (SPA) will be calculated for all
classes (including remedial course work) the student enrolled for at the beginning of the term
(including incomplete, no-grade and withdrawals).
Using the quality point system, the following values apply:
Quality Points
Letter Grade
A
4
B
3
C
2
D
1
F
0
The SPA is calculated for each term and is not
cumulative. If the SPA for any given term drops
below a 2.0, the student will be notified that
he/she is being placed on Financial Aid Probation.
If the SPA for any given term is equal to 0.0, the
student will be notified that he/she is being placed
on Financial Aid Suspension.
Measuring Satisfactory Academic Progress
Federal Regulations require that an undergraduate student must complete his or her program in a
period no longer than 150% of the school’s published program length."
At Florida Keys Community College, this is measured by the total credits attempted during the
overall enrollment period for each student. Once
150% of the required total credit hours have been
attempted, the student will no longer be eligible
for Federal, State, or institutional financial aid. All
remedial and normal course-work completed at
Florida Keys Community College and earned
credits from a previous institution will be included
in the calculation.
Financial Aid Probation
Realizing that a student’s academic career may
experience occasional hardships, a one-term leeway is provided to those whose SPA drops below
a 2.0. In order to be removed from Financial Aid
Probation, the student must register for a minimum of 6 credits and receive a 2.0 or better SPA.
Should the student register for less than 6 credits,
he/she will remain on probation until such time
that they do so. In addition, should the student
register for 6 credits and fail to achieve the
required 2.0 SPA, he/she will be placed on
Financial Aid Suspension.
Financial Aid Suspension
Should the student receive a 0.0 SPA, or fail to
meet the requirements for reinstatement under
Financial Aid Probation they will immediately enter
into Financial Aid Suspension. At this point, all
Federal, State and institutional funding will cease
for the succeeding term of enrollment, including
all student loan programs. In order to be removed
from Financial Aid Suspension, the student must
register for a minimum of 6 credits at their own
expense and receive a 2.0 or better SPA. Should
the student register for less than 6 credits, he/she
will remain on suspension until such time that they
complete a total of six (6) credits with at least a
2.0 GPA. Reinstatement will not be retroactive.
Appeal Process
Should the student feel that there are unusual circumstances related to their failure to meet the
above satisfactory progress standards, they may
appeal to the Director of Financial Aid for possible
reinstatement. This appeal must be made in writing and submitted to the Financial Aid Office. The
letter should include all pertinent information related to the cause of the poor SPA. If the student is
appealing on the basis of a medically related condition, the appeal letter must be accompanied by
a letter from a medical professional. The student
will be advised in writing of the decision.
A student may be granted one appeal during
his/her educational career at FKCC. Any student
wishing to appeal the decision of the Financial Aid
Director may do so in writing to the Dean of
Student Affairs.
Other Important Information
A student may repeat a course previously
attempted under financial aid if they received a
grade of D, F, or W only once. If they fail to complete the course with a grade of C or better during
the second attempt, financial aid will not recognize future enrollment in the repeated course.
37
Additionally, if the student received a grade of C
or better on the first attempt, financial aid will not
recognize the enrollment in the award calculation
(unless the college catalog specifically permits
repeating a course for additional credit).
All audited course-work (a grade of "X") will not
be used in the determination of financial aid
awards. In addition, enrolled students may not
change their registration status to an audit once
the financial aid has been determined.
Students holding an earned bachelor’s degree
from a U.S. college or university are eligible for
loans and CWSP only, not federal grant money.
Return of the Title IV Funds
If you are a recipient of Title IV Federal Financial
Aid funds (excluding Federal College Work
Study) and are considering withdrawing from ALL
classes prior to completing more than 60% of the
term, your eligibility for aid will be recalculated
based on the percent of the term completed.
This may result in your having to return a portion
of the aid that you have received. In addition, if
you STOP attending all of your classes prior to
completing more than 60% of the term, and/or if
your transcript reflects unsuccessful completion
of all courses, this will be considered an unofficial
withdrawal. Your financial aid eligibility will be
calculated based on 50% of the term completed,
unless documentation of an academic related
activity (defined by the instructor) is provided to
the financial aid office, in which case your financial aid eligibility will be calculated using this later
date.
Contact the Financial Aid Office immediately to
learn how your withdrawal or lack of attendance
could impact your financial aid. Students will
not be eligible to register for future terms until
all financial obligations are paid in full.
Title IV aid includes the following programs at
FKCC:
Federal Unsubsidized Stafford Loans
Federal Subsidized Stafford Loans
Federal PLUS Loans
Federal Pell Grants
Federal SEOG Grants

SUPPORT SERVICES
Orientation
Each term the Student Affairs staff conducts an orientation program to help new students adjust quickly
to the challenges and rewards of college life.
Through the orientation program students learn
about the campus, its many facilities and services.
The orientation program provides students with information about important college policies, procedures,
and academic programs as well as information
about registering for classes. Students get a chance
to meet other new students and to ask questions.
While not mandatory, new students are strongly
encouraged to avail themselves of the information
and resources given at orientation. Students may
contact Counseling Services for more information.
Middle and Upper Keys students are encouraged to
visit the Centers for information on services available
in their area, and for assistance as needed in contacting other instructional and Student Affairs staff in
Key West.
Registration
Call the Office of Enrollment Services at (305) 2969081 ext. 488 for information regarding registration.
New students should apply for admission in advance
of registration, if possible. Registration is on a firstcome first served basis. For the best selection of
class sections and times, you should plan to register
as early as possible. All degree-seeking students
should be sure to consult with their counselor or program advisor prior to registering in order to secure a
signature on their course request forms. Middle and
Upper Keys residents can contact their local center
for information and assistance in these procedures.
Counseling & Academic
Advisement
1. Counselors are available in Counseling Services
during day and evening hours to assist students
with educational, personal and career concerns.
The counseling staff can assist students with a variety of concerns including academic advisement,
choice of major, career choice, professional preparation, general education requirements, catalog
interpretation, withdrawal from college, and test
interpretation.
2. Associate in Arts degree seeking students and
those who are undecided about a program of study
are encouraged to meet with a general counselor.
Students seeking an Associate in Science Degree,
Associate in Applied Science Degree or a
Certificate are assigned a Program
Director/Program Advisor based upon their declared
major field of study.
3. Each term, it is the student’s responsibility to
meet with a counselor or Program Director/Program
Advisor, review his/her academic records, and
choose courses designed to fulfill his/her stated
objectives. This contact enables the Program
Director/Program Advisor to know each student personally and to develop class schedules compatible
with individual interests and abilities. Students
should also consult their Program Director/Program
Advisor when encountering academic problems or
when considering a change in their degree program. A.S. and A.A.S. students should be sure to
get their advisor’s signature on their course request
form prior to registering each term.
4. Students planning to transfer to four-year colleges or universities should meet with a
counselor/advisor early to explore major options
and pre-professional requirements. Early planning
will result in a smooth, efficient transition to a university. Online at www.facts.org, the common prerequisites prepared specifically for community college students by Florida’s public universities is available. This manual explains transfer requirements for
different major fields of study and should be consulted during a student’s first term of attendance.
5. Middle and Upper Keys students are encouraged to visit the Centers for information on services
available in their area, and for assistance as needed in contacting other instructional and Student
Affairs staff in Key West. Students are welcomed
and encouraged to call full-time college faculty in
Key West to discuss curriculum matters or to seek
academic guidance any time they wish to do so.
Information/Advisement Sessions
Group and/or individual information/advisement sessions by the LRC and by nursing, financial aid and
other counselors will be scheduled as needed by
videoconference. Alternatives to videoconference
include telephone conferences or written access via
email. The Centers will provide facilities for such
conferences and will be responsible for scheduling
the sessions.
39
Career Planning Services
The choice of a career field is an important and difficult decision an individual must make. Career decisions should be based on a thorough knowledge of
one s interests, skills, labor market information, and
training programs. Counselors and advisors are
available to help students achieve self-direction in
career decision-making and planning. An up-todate library of publications and career software is
maintained in the Career Lab, Key West. Career
guidance software, such as SIGI PLUS, eChoices,
and the Career Assessment Inventory assist students in making career decisions. SIGI PLUS helps
students examine their work-related values, interests, and skills systematically. Through eChoices
students can assess and identify their interests, and
match those interests with occupations in Florida.
The Career Assessment Inventory helps students
identify career directions, major areas of study,
occupational interests, and personality preferences.
For assistance in identifying and achieving your
career and educational goals, contact an FKCC
advisor or Center director.
National Testing Program
FKCC serves as a center for the administration of
specialized tests such as the Graduate Record
Exam (GRE), the College-Level Examination
Program (CLEP), the American College Testing
Program (ACT), the Law School Admission Test
(LSAT), DANTES Subject Standardized Tests
(DSST’s), and the Allied Health Profession
Admission Test (AHPAT). Information and registration bulletins are available through the Testing
Office located in Counseling Services.
Placement Testing
All new degree seeking students, and returning students who change to degree seeking status, must
take an approved placement exam before registering for classes. The test includes mathematics,
reading and English language skills.
Non-degree seeking students are subject to placement test requirements if they wish to enroll in a
communication/humanities or mathematics course,
or any other course that requires the placement test
as a prerequisite.
Students meeting the minimum scores required for
each section of the test may enroll in college-level
courses in those areas. Students must enroll in college preparatory courses in the areas in which the
minimum scores are not met. However, students
40
shall be permitted to take courses concurrently in
other curriculum areas for which they are qualified
while enrolled in college preparatory instruction.
Results of the assessment are used as a guideline
to assist counselors and advisors in placing students in appropriate courses ensuring their academic success. College preparatory courses do not
carry college credit and, though included in SPA calculations, are not included in GPA calculations.
Students who can provide official ACT, SAT or
Florida Placement Test scores, two years current,
are not required to take the placement test.
Students who present a college ready diploma or
have already completed English (college prep or
composition) and math (college prep or higher)
courses at another college or university and have
had their transcript(s) sent to FKCC are not
required to take the placement test.
Test administrations are offered once a month with
more frequent administrations scheduled prior to
the beginning of each semester. Testing is available at the Key West campus, Middle Keys Center
and Upper Keys Center.
Beginning with the fall 1998 semester, Florida
Statutes require that a student successfully complete a college preparatory exit examination at the
close of each college prep course. Accordingly, an
exit examination will be administered in each prep
subject area in coordination with the final course in
the college prep English, mathematics, and reading
sequences. In order to proceed into college credit
course work in the subject area, a student must
successfully complete both the college prep course
and the appropriate exit examination.
College Placement Test — Retest policy
1) Placement test scores are valid for two years. If
you have not used those scores for course placement during that time, you will be required to take
the test again.
2) A student must wait for at least 45 days to elapse
before retesting on the CPT.
3) Students who have already begun any level of
college preparatory instruction in a subject area
may only be referred for retesting on an individual
basis by the teaching faculty member.
4) After a two-year period, because scores are no
longer valid for placement, students may retake the
test.
5) A Counselor/Advisor may grant permission for a
retest due to extenuating circumstances
Further information concerning the placement test is
available from the Testing Office located in
Counseling Services or from the Center Directors

are not college-supervised nor college-inspected
accommodations. Students should plan to visit Key
West prior to orientation and registration to secure
suitable accommodations.
42
Through active memberships in a club or campus
organization, students will have the opportunity to
meet other students and work toward common goals
and interests. In recent years, clubs have been organized around sporting interests, such as scuba diving; around academic programs, such as computers,
nursing, science and marine technology; and around
special interests, such as leadership, photography,
ceramics and chorus to name a few.
Three campus organizations, the Phi Theta Kappa
Honor Society, Gamma Beta Phi Honor Society and
the Florida Student Nurses Association, are affiliates
of their respective national and state organizations.
New clubs may be formed at any time with sufficient
student interest. Please consult the Student
Handbook, the Student Activities Handbook, or
inquire in Counseling Services for more information
concerning student organizations and activities.
College Reach-Out Program
The Florida Department of Education currently
funds the College Reach-Out Program of Florida
Keys Community College through a state-wide
grant. The primary objective of the program is to
strengthen the educational motivation and preparation of low-income, educationally at-risk students in
grades 6 through 12. This is a proactive preventative program to reach students who have been
identified by their teachers and school counselors
as having the potential to succeed, but in need of
outside direction. The program is committed to
keeping these at-risk students out of trouble, away
from drugs, maintaining good attendance, and
developing good behavior and work habit skills at
home and in the school setting. This population
would be unlikely to seek admission to a college or
university, but with the help of the College ReachOut Program, a two-year full-tuition scholarship to
Florida Keys Community College is made available
to them. FKCC matches state funds by providing
scholarships, services, salaried personnel, classrooms, labs and general support.
During the academic year, students from Key West
High School, Horace O Bryant Middle School and
Sugarloaf Middle School are provided with academic support in the school setting and enrichment
activities on the FKCC campus. Programs also
include motivational speakers, financial aid information, college tours, career information, tutoring and
homework assistance.
CROP offers select students the opportunity to
spend two weeks in the summer on a college or
university campus.
For more information on the College Reach-Out
Program, call 296-9081, ext. 261.
ACADEMIC POLICIES & PROCEDURES
Student Responsibility
When a student registers at Florida Keys
Community College, he/she agrees to accept the
rules and regulations of the college. Rules may
be changed as circumstances make change
desirable or necessary. Prior notice of changes
will not be given. All students are expected to
observe the rules for the good of the college community.
The college reserves the right to require the withdrawal of any student whose scholarship or
deportment does not meet the standards of
Florida Keys Community College.
Academic Freedom and
Responsibility
Students are free to make reasoned exception to
data and views offered in the classroom and to
reserve judgment about matters of opinion; but
they are responsible for learning about the content of any course for which they re enrolled, without personal prejudice. Students are entitled to
protection against improper disclosure of information concerning grades, beliefs, or character
which an instructor acquires in professional association with the student. Judgments of ability and
character may be provided under appropriate circumstances, normally with the consent of the student.
The student is responsible for classroom behavior
which is conducive to the educational process
and for achieving standards of performance
established by the instructor.
The instructor has final authority in all matters
relating to course content, grading practices, and
classroom procedures, consistent with the philosophy, purposes, and established policies of the
college. A course grade is the final responsibility
of the instructor.
As a member of the college community, a student
is expected to act responsibly in all areas of personal and social conduct. The College reserves
the right to require the withdrawal of any student
whose scholarship or deportment does not meet
the standards of Florida Keys Community
College.
Violations of the standards of conduct contained
herein will, in most cases, be treated as college
disciplinary matters. However, in certain situations, the application of civil and criminal law
and/or the injunction process will be employed in
order to preserve the system of order and freedom necessary for the maintenance of an educational environment. Any individual or group action
which results in or threatens denial of any of the
following may result in the application of civil or
criminal law or in an injunction: freedom of
access or movement; disruption of classes or
activities; destruction or illegal occupation of college property; trespass; personal jeopardy to any
member or guest of the College community.
Offenses involving the use or possession of
firearms, lethal weapons, drugs and alcoholic
beverages, although essentially civil matters
which address themselves to the discretion of
Local, State and Federal authorities, may subject
the possessor or user to college discipline when
such offenses and their effects adversely interfere
with the well-being of, or reflect on, the College or
members of the College community.
Academic Integrity
Academic work submitted by a student is
assumed to be the result of the student’s own
thoughts, research, or self-expression. When a
student borrows ideas, wording, or organization
from another source, she/he is expected to
acknowledge that fact in an appropriate manner.
Plagiarism is unacceptable to the College community.
43
Class Attendance
Students are expected to attend all of their scheduled classes. The College reserves the right to
address individual cases of non-attendance. Each
instructor determines the effect of absences upon
grades. Instructors will formulate an attendance
policy and distribute this policy in writing during
the first week of classes.
Arranging to make up work missed because of
legitimate class absence is the responsibility of
the student.
In general, reasons that may be acceptable for
absence from class include: illness, serious family
emergency, special curricular requirements (e.g.,
field trips, professional conferences), military
obligations, severe weather conditions, religious
holidays and participation in official college sponsored activities. Absences from class for courtimposed legal obligations (e.g., jury duty or subpoena) must be excused. The student may offer
other sound reasons for consideration.
College Preparatory Program
Students who provide ACT, SAT or CPT scores (two
years current) below the scores required to enter
college level courses must enroll in college preparatory courses. These courses include reading comprehension, communication skills, basic math and
introduction to algebra. Enrollment in the preparatory program is based on placement scores. Grades
earned in college preparatory courses will not count
toward graduation nor will they be calculated into
the grade point average, however they are calculated in the SPA for financial aid purposes.
Students are permitted to enroll in college preparatory instruction concurrently with credit instruction in
courses for which they are qualified. College
preparatory students may not enroll in the following
categories of college credit courses while completing their college preparatory course work:
1. College preparatory students who are deficient in
mathematics may not enroll in any college-level
mathematics courses or courses that require mathematics skills beyond the skill level of the student.
2. College preparatory students who are deficient in
English and/or reading skills may not enroll in
English or humanities courses that meet the Gordon
Rule requirements (see pg. 56 for Gordon Rule
information), or any course that requires communication skills beyond the skill level of the student.
44
3. College preparatory students who are deficient in
all three areas may enroll in college-level courses
such as college success courses or courses that
are not dependent on college-level computation and
communication skills.
College preparatory reading comprehension focuses on vocabulary development, literal reading skills,
and basic critical reading. College preparatory communication skills emphasize grammar, punctuation,
usage and basic elements of sentence style, the
paragraph, and the essay. Basic math is designed
to teach students arithmetic skills necessary for
introduction to algebra. The topics include whole
numbers, fractions, decimals, percents, measurements, area, perimeter, volume, operations with
integers, simple equations, and formulas.
Introduction to algebra follows basic math and is
also a preparatory course. This course focuses on
signed numbers, formulas, polynomials, rationales,
radicals, factoring, and graphing. It provides the
necessary foundation for intermediate algebra.
Students are allowed up to three attempts at each
college preparatory course. Withdrawal from a college preparatory course after the last day to drop
and receive a refund counts as an attempt. Since
the state will fund only two college preparatory
attempts, students will pay the full tuition cost, equal
to out-of-state tuition, on the third attempt.
For more information regarding the college preparatory program, placement testing, test scores and/or
placement, please contact your Counselor/Advisor
or Center Director.
College Preparatory Rule
Rule 6A-10.0315(14) states that students enrolled in
college preparatory courses may be permitted to
take courses concurrently in other curriculum areas
for which they are qualified. Students who test into
college prep instruction must successfully complete
the required college preparatory studies by the time
they have accumulated 12 hours of college credit
course work OR students must maintain continuous
enrollment in college preparatory course work each
semester until the requirements are completed while
performing satisfactorily in the degree earning
course work. College preparatory students who are
deficient in all three areas (reading, English and
math) may enroll in college-level courses such as
college success courses or courses that are not
dependent on college-level computation and communication skills. Upon successful completion of
remediation, students then qualify to enroll in college-level courses. For further information please
contact your Advisor/Counselor or Center Directors.
Withdrawal And Forgiveness Rule
The following procedures relate to student withdrawal from courses and to conditions under
which forgiveness of grades earned will be granted to the student.
1. Withdrawal
a. The student may withdraw without academic
penalty from any course by the 70 percent point
in the semester. Withdrawals after that date will
be granted only through approved college procedures.
b. The student will be permitted a maximum of
two (2) withdrawals per course. Upon the third
attempt, the student will not be permitted to withdraw and will receive a grade for that course.
c. Students who drop a class before the last day
to receive a refund will receive a 100% refund.
(Refer to the college calendar for appropriate
date.)
d. Students who do not officially withdraw will be
assigned a letter grade by the instructor. The last
day to officially withdraw is listed on the college
calendar as well as the printed term schedule.
Students are reminded that instructors are not
permitted to change the academic status of a student, i.e., award a grade of "W" or "X" on the final
roster. IT IS THE STUDENT’S RESPONSIBILITY
TO WITHDRAW OR CHANGE HIS OR HER
REGISTRATION STATUS BY THE PUBLISHED
DEADLINES.
2. Grade Forgiveness
a. A student is allowed to repeat a course only
two times in order to improve a failing grade ( D
or F ).
b. Only the last grade earned in a repeated
course will be computed into the grade point average, provided the last assigned grade is not a "W"
(withdrawal) or an "X" (audit). However, all courses attempted will appear on the transcript.
c. Students should be aware that some private or
out-of-state colleges and universities may not
accept a repeated course and may compute the
initial grade in the grade point average. Some
Florida State Universities may include both
attempts (grades) in their final computation of the
grade point average.
d. Students may not repeat a course to improve
grade point average after the awarding of the
Associate in Arts and/or the Associate in Science
degrees and/or the Associate in Applied Science
(per Articulation Agreement).
e. Courses may be repeated if they are designated as repeatable, such as choir, music or other
individualized courses of study; or if they are
required to be repeated by a regulatory agency;
or are being repeated as part of a regulatory
requirement for continuing education to stay current in a field, such as teacher certification.
f. Students receiving Federal Financial Aid cannot repeat a course where a grade of "C" or better has been earned, unless the catalog permits
repeating a specific course for credit. A course in
which a grade of "D" or "F" is received may be
repeated one time.
Students receiving VA benefits should be aware
that the Veterans Administration will not pay for a
repeated course in which a grade of "D" or better
has been earned, except where state rules
require a minimum grade of "C".
3. Total Attempts
This policy applies to college-level and college
preparatory courses taken for the first time beginning with Fall Semester 1997. Only Florida Keys
Community College courses are counted in
attempts. Repeatable courses, courses required
to be repeated by a regulatory agency, or courses
being repeated as part of a regulatory requirement for continuing education to stay current in a
field, such as teacher certification, will not be
applied to this policy.
A student can only repeat a course in which they
have earned a grade of "D" or "F". A student may
have only three (3) attempts per course including
the original grade, repeat grades, and withdrawals
at any point in the semester. On the third attempt,
and thereafter a student will be assessed 100% of
the full cost of instruction (non-Florida resident
rates)of the course. A fourth attempt may be
allowed only through an academic appeals
process based on major extenuating circumstances.
Audit enrollments shall not count as attempts
unless such enrollment is declared after the end
of the drop/add period. College preparatory students, who are required to be certified as completing competency-based college preparatory
instruction, shall not be enrolled as audits.
Exception to Withdrawal and Forgiveness Rule
Exceptions to the withdrawal and forgiveness rule
may be granted through the Dean of Student
Affairs Office. Contact that office for more information and to obtain an Exception to Full Cost of
Instruction Fees form.
45
Grading
Letter grades, transcript symbols, and quality points
to indicate the quality of work of each student are
used as follows:
Grade
A
Excellent
Quality Points
4 grade points per
semester hour
3 grade points per
semester hour
2 grade points per
semester hour
1 grade point per
semester hour
0 grade points per
semester hour
B
Good
C
Average
D
Poor
F
Failure
I
W*
X
N**
Incomplete
Withdrew from course
Audit
No Grade
*To receive a grade of "W", students must withdraw officially through the Office of Enrollment
Services by completing and submitting the appropriate form prior to the announced deadline (see
academic calendar). Students who do not officially
withdraw will be assigned a grade by the instructor.
** Applicable to college preparatory courses.
An "I" becomes an "F" if the required work has
not been completed within the time specified by
the instructor. This deadline shall not exceed (4)
four months from the completion of the term for
which the incomplete was awarded. Grades of "D"
may or may not be accepted by other institutions.
Grade Changes
Students who wish to dispute a grade should meet
with the instructor of the course. If the instructor
deems a grade change should be made, the
instructor will complete the Report of Change of
Grade form, giving a full explanation of the reasons
for the change of grade. The time period in which
any grade can be changed is one year from the
posting of the grade. Exceptions must be approved
by the Dean of Student Affairs.
Quality Point Average
To rank individual students, scholastic attainment
is computed in terms of the quality point ratio.
This ratio is obtained by dividing the total number
of quality points earned by the total number of
semester hours of credit attempted. The final
quality point average required for graduation is
46
computed based on the summation of all the
courses shown on transcripts from all institutions
attended. When a student repeats a course, the
most recent grade will be used to determine the
quality point average. It is the responsibility of the
student to keep informed of the accumulation of
credit hours and quality point standing. This information may be requested from the Office of
Enrollment Services.
Final Grades
Students may view their final grades by logging
on to the FKCC website at www.fkcc.edu.
Final grade reports will not be mailed out to students. Grades c
Scholastic Honors
An honors list will be prepared at the end of each
term. Students who earn a 3.8 or higher grade
point average will be on the President’s Honors
List; students who earns a 3.5 or higher grade
point average will be on the Dean’s Honors List.
Only full-time students are considered for these
lists.
Academic Probation and
Suspension
To maintain satisfactory academic progress at
Florida Keys Community College, students must
achieve a minimum grade point average (GPA) of
2.0. Students who have attempted seven (7) or
more college credits with less than a 2.0 cumulative GPA (not including college preparatory courses) will be placed on academic probation. Students
who remain on academic probation for more than
two consecutive terms will be placed on suspension.
The purpose of probation and suspension is to
identify students who have had academic difficulties in order to provide them with additional assistance toward achieving success in their college
work. Students on probation or suspension will be
required to obtain an academic advisor s approval
before registering for courses for the following
semester. Individual problems will be identified and
solutions will be sought in an attempt to help students improve their academic status.
Students will be removed from academic probation
or suspension when their cumulative grade point
average becomes 2.0 or greater.
VA Satisfactory Progress Policy
The Satisfactory Progress Average (SPA) is computed the same as the grade point average(A=4), (B=3), (C=2), (D=1), and (F=0). I’s, W’s,
N’s, and X’s are not computed in the SPA. Using
the quality point system, the SPA is computed by
adding the total quality value of all courses and
dividing by the number of credit hours attempted
during a given term. The SPA is cumulative. It is
computed at the end of each term. A SPA of 2.0
is satisfactory progress; less than 2.0 is unsatisfactory progress. Any veteran with a SPA of less
than 2.0 will be placed on probation. A veteran
will not be permitted more than two consecutive
terms on probation. If during the second term on
probation the student does not earn a 2.0 or higher cumulative GPA his/her benefits will be suspended.
Once the veteran has been terminated from
receiving VA benefits due to unsatisfactory
progress, the college will not recertify the veteran.
He/she will be permitted to attend classes but will
not receive benefits. A student may re-establish
eligibility for VA benefits in accordance with regulations promulgated by the Veterans
Administration.
Course Substitutions
Course substitutions in degree programs may be
approved. Application for a course substitution
must be submitted no later than two days prior to
the first day of classes of the appropriate term.
The student may request a course substitution
through a counselor or program advisor for one of
the following reasons:
1. A different course better meets the student’s
educational objectives;
2. A required course is not scheduled during the
student’s last term before graduation.
Course substitutions require the written request of
the student’s counselor or program advisor. The
counselor or advisor will forward the request to
the Director of Counseling then the Vice
President; Instructional Affairs for approval and
concurrence of the Director of Enrollment
Services.
Note: For disabled students, see section on
Course Substitutions under Office for Students
with Disabilities.
Prerequisites and Course
Sequence
Students should note the prerequisites stated in
the individual course descriptions in the catalog
when scheduling courses. The establishing of
the grade required in a prerequisite course is at
the discretion of the unit (such as the
Mathematics Department or Social Science
Department) in which the course exists.
Therefore, prerequisite grade requirements may
vary among subject area. Program advisors are
available to assist students to insure that they
meet degree or certificate program requirements.
Students must obtain instructor permission to register for a course in which they have not met the
prerequisites. This is done at the instructor s discretion and requires the completion of an instructor permission form located in the Enrollment
Services Office. However, students who have
been placed in college preparatory level courses
must enroll in the required remedial course work.
Students are urged to meet with an advisor on a
regular basis to insure they do not take unnecessary courses.
Regulation Waiver
Students who need to request a waiver of an academic regulation should see a counselor or program advisor to assist them in this step. Normally,
when there is a need to waive an academic regulation, the Admissions and Standards Committee
will review the request.
Graduation Requirements
Florida Keys Community College offers programs
of study leading to the Associate in Arts degree
(AA), the Associate in Science degree (AS), the
Associate in Applied Science (AAS) degree, the
Advanced Technical Diploma (ATD), or Certificate.
The Associate in Arts (AA) degree is awarded the
student who has successfully completed a planned
program which includes not fewer than 36 semester hours of specified general education credits
within a 60 semester hour program. It is called the
university parallel, or general transfer program and
is recommended to students who plan to transfer
to a university to pursue a baccalaureate degree.
The Associate in Applied Science (A.A.S) degree
is awarded to students who have successfully
completed a planned program of courses designed
to prepare them to enter a specific employment
field. It is not designed to transfer to four-year
institutions.
47
The Associate in Science (A.S.) degree is awarded to students who successfully complete a
planned program of courses designed to prepare
them to enter a career with no further study
required.
The Certificate and Advanced Technical Diploma is
awarded the student who has successfully completed a planned program of less than two years
designed to give a specific skill in a chosen vocational or technical specialty.
General requirements for graduation from Florida
Keys Community College must be met by all students seeking a degree or certificate. Students
must complete at least 25% of semester credit
hours through instruction at FKCC. Responsibility
for meeting the requirements of the Associate in
Arts degree, the Associate in Science degree, the
Associate in Applied Science degree or the
Certificate, rests with the student. To maintain continuous enrollment for graduation purposes, a student must be enrolled in at least one class for both
Terms I and II. If this enrollment is not maintained,
the student has to meet the graduation requirements in effect at the time of completing their final
course.
To qualify for the Associate in Arts degree, which is
the basic transfer degree of Florida community colleges, and which is the primary basis for admission
of transfer students to upper division study in a
State of Florida university, a student must:
1. Satisfy the College Level Academic Skills Test
(after earning 18 college-level credit hours) or
document satisfaction of the CLAST requirement
by a State-approved alternative method;
2. Complete 60 semester hours of academic
work exclusive of courses numbered 3000 or
above, nontransferable occupational courses, and
basic physical education courses in a planned
program outlined in this catalog;
3. Complete an approved general education program of not fewer than 36 semester hours;
4. Achieve a grade point average of not less than
2.0 in all courses taken at Florida Keys
Community College as well as on the summation
of all courses attempted at all institutions attended. The grade of "D" will be accepted for transfer
to Florida four-year colleges and universities (provided the overall grade average does not drop
below the prescribed 2.0 level), and will count
48
towards the baccalaureate in the same way as
"D" grades obtained by students enrolled in the
first two years of Florida’s universities do, i.e.
credit required for the baccalaureate. However, it
is at the discretion of the department or college of
the university offering the major as to whether
courses with "D" grades in the major may satisfy
requirements in the major field.
To qualify to complete a vocational program, a
student must successfully complete a minimum of
60 semester hours in an Associate in Science or
Associate in Applied Science degree program or a
minimum of 30 semester hours in a Certificate
Program, as specified in a prescribed program of
study outlined in this catalog.
Students currently on active military duty may
"contract for a degree" through the Service members Opportunity Colleges at Florida Keys
Community College. The Director of Enrollment
Services will assist the service person in contracting for the degree. The contract will specify the
course of study to be pursued and appropriate
learning options. The College will continue to
guide the service person’s educational planning
should it become necessary for the student to
enroll in another institution. The service person
will be permitted to transfer in reverse appropriate
credits earned at other institutions. The service
person must complete a minimum of ) 25% of the
required work at FKCC. The appropriate degree
or certificate will be awarded upon successful fulfillment of the contract.
Additional graduation requirements include:
1. A cumulative quality point average of not less
than 2.0 must be attained on all work attempted at
all institutions attended and on all work attempted
at Florida Keys Community College. When a student repeats a course, the most recent grade will
be used to determine his/her quality point average.
2. An application for graduation must be submitted
to the Enrollment Services Office before the published deadline (see the Academic Calendar).
Commencement will be held once each year at the
end of Term II. All students planning to participate
in the commencement ceremony must submit an
application by the Term II deadline. Those students
who plan to complete graduation requirements during the summer term may participate in the
Commencement Ceremony if they apply for graduation by the Term II deadline.
3. All financial or other obligations (including
Admissions requirements) to the college must be
satisfied.
Degree Termination
When the college feels that it is necessary to terminate a degree program due to low enrollment
or other circumstances, the program advisor will
notify the students enrolled in that program in
writing of that decision. The following procedures
must be adhered to in order for the student to be
able to graduate from the terminated program:
1. The student must maintain continuous enrollment with the college.
2. Courses no longer offered by the college may
be transferred in from other regionally accredited
institutions.
3. All graduate check downs will be processed by
the Director of Enrollment Services.
Cooperative Education
Cooperative Education is a college program
designed to extend occupational learning experiences for the student through supervised employment in an occupation of interest to them.
Employment may be on or off campus.
Cooperative Education is available in all academic and vocational areas.
To obtain Cooperative Education credit:
1. The student must (a) have a 2.0 overall grade
point average, (b) be officially certificate or
degree seeking, (c) have completed a minimum
of 12 credit hours of college credit (with a minimum of 6 credits at FKCC) and (d) be enrolled in
no fewer than 6 credit hours, including
Cooperative Education.
2. To begin the process, the student must meet
with his/her Program Advisor (or Instructor, in the
case of an Associate in Arts Degree seeking student) who will serve as his/her Cooperative
Education Sponsor. (A.A. Degree students are
responsible for finding an instructor willing to
serve as the Cooperative Education Sponsor.)
The student and Sponsor will discuss obtaining
academic credit through Cooperative Education at
his/her job site, including consideration of the
nature of the work to be done and the relevance
of the work experience to the student s career
goals, number of credits to be applied for,
required hours of work, time frame, and reporting
and supervision.
3. The student must submit to his/her Sponsor a
completed (a) Application for Cooperative
Education/Cooperative Education Learning
Agreement and (b) Independent Study Request
Form. Cooperative Education credit is given as
XXX (subject prefix) 2940. Seventy-five (75)
employment/supervision hours equal one credit.
Cooperative Education may be repeated for a
maximum of six credits, which may be used
toward the completion of the student s degree. In
the A.A. Degree, Cooperative Education credits
may be used as electives only. In an A.S. Degree,
depending on the actual degree curriculum, specific use of Cooperative Education credits will be
at the discretion of the Program Advisor.
4. Once the above forms are approved, the student will attend regularly scheduled supervision
meetings with his/her Cooperative Education
Sponsor. As with any course, a letter grade will be
assigned at the end of the term in which
Cooperative Education takes place.
College Level Academic Skills Test
(CLAST)
The College Level Academic Skills Test (CLAST)
is an achievement test that measures selected
communication and mathematics skills adopted
by the State Board of Education. It includes four
sub-tests: essay, English language skills, reading, and mathematics. Multiple choice test items
are used to measure reading and mathematics
skills. Both multiple choice items and the essay
are used to measure English language skills.
Florida Statutes and Rules of the State Board of
Education require passing scores on all four subtests of the CLAST or satisfaction of the CLAST
requirement by a State approved alternative
method in order to:
1. Obtain an Associate in Arts degree.
2. Be admitted as a junior or senior to a State
University regardless of degree program.
3. Receive a baccalaureate degree from a State
University.
4. Participate in State of Florida Financial Aid
programs specified in State Board Education Rule
6A.20.0005, FAC.
Students must have completed a minimum of
eighteen (18) hours of college level courses
(1000 or higher) to be eligible to take the CLAST.
49
Adaptations of testing materials, as well as testing conditions, are made for students with documented physiological impairments. It is the
responsibility of students who need special testing arrangements to request them when registering for the CLAST.
Additional information and CLAST brochures are
available in the Testing Office located in
Counseling Services, Key West, or from the
Middle and Upper Keys centers.
The CLAST Alternative
The State Board of Education is now providing
alternative ways for students to demonstrate
mastery of the basic skills tested by CLAST.
Students who qualify are exempt from some or
all of the CLAST s four subtests.
Brochures describing eligibility requirements as
well as CLAST Alternative Request Forms are
available in the Counseling Services Center, Key
West, and at the Middle and Upper Keys
Centers. For additional information, contact
the Testing Office, Key West.

foundation for a baccalaureate degree in any field.
Knowledge and skills in
oral and written communication, computer usage,
computation or mathematics, natural science, social science, and humanities are expected of every college graduate.
Certain general education courses that emphasize
this knowledge and these skills are required of
every student who aspires to the Associate in Arts
degree. All students are encouraged to take these
required courses as early as possible in their college studies.
The Associate in Arts degree consists of a minimum of 36 semester hours of General Education
requirements and 24 semester hours of electives,
which should include the pre-professional requirements of the anticipated major field of study.
Students must satisfy the College Level Academic
Skills Test (CLAST) or document satisfaction of
the CLAST requirement by a state-approved alternate method to be awarded the Associate in Arts
degree or to be admitted to upper division programs in state universities in Florida.
Transferring to the University
All general education courses at the freshman
(first year) and the sophomore (second year) levels are parallel to those offered at baccalaureate
degree granting colleges and universities. These
general education courses are usually accepted
by other institutions if or when a student transfers
from Florida Keys Community College.
Florida has an educational articulation agreement
among its eleven public universities and twentyeight community colleges. It guarantees that stu-
dents who successfully
complete the Associate in
Arts degree will be admitted to junior level status at
the upper level public institution. It is summarized in
the "Student Bill of Rights"
as follows:
Student Bill of
Rights
Florida Community College
Associate in Arts graduates
are guaranteed the following rights under the
Statewide Articulation
Agreement (State Board of
Education Rule 6A-10.024.
This "Student Bill of Rights""guarantee that an AA
degree will transfer intact from any Florida
Community College to any State University.
1. Admission to one of the twelve state universities, except to limited access programs*.
2. Acceptance of at least 60 credit hours by the
state universities toward the baccalaureate
degree.
3. Adherence to university requirements and policies based on the catalog in effect at the time the
student first entered a community college, provided the student maintains continuous enrollment.
4. Transfer of equivalent courses under the
Statewide Course Numbering System.
5. Acceptance by the state universities of credit
earned in accelerated programs (e.g., CLEP, AP,
EXCELSIOR, Dual Enrollment, Early Admission
and International Baccalaureate).
6. No additional General Education core requirements.
7. Advance knowledge of selection criteria for limited access programs.
8. Equal opportunity with native university students to enter limited access programs.
53
Should any guarantee be denied, students have
the right of appeal. Each state university and
community college shall make available established appeal procedures through their respective
articulation officers.
*Limited Access is the designation given to programs that require additional admission requirements which are more selective than general
admission requirements. These may include the
following: increased total GPA and test scores;
additional courses and prerequisites; and auditions and portfolios.
In addition, there is a foreign language requirement for admission to the State University
System. Unless a student has successfully completed two years of a foreign language at the high
school level, or can demonstrate proficiency, or
fits into an exemption category, the student must
complete one year ( 8 credits) of a foreign language prior to transfer. Although there may be
exceptions to this rule, students are strongly
encouraged to complete this requirement prior to
transfer.
The eleven public universities in Florida have a
transfer manual that lists common prerequisites
for each university major. The manual, available
on-line recommends pre-professional courses
that should be taken at the community college
level in order to meet the requirements of these
selective admissions programs. Also, some university programs require the second year of a
modern foreign language for the baccalaureate
degree. Students are advised to meet with a
counselor/advisor to review these pre-professional requirements. Students should be aware that
most university majors, i.e., business administration, engineering, computer science, pre-med programs, education, etc., require specific courses to
be taken at the community college as part of the
A.A. degree, prior to applying to the university.
Failure to meet a university’s pre-professional
requirements for a limited access program could
delay a student’s admission to the program of
his/her choice.
Additional articulation agreements have been
established between Florida Keys Community
College, the University of Miami, St. Leo
University, the Union Institute and Barry
University. In its Associate in Science programs,
Florida Keys Community College advises that
only general education credits transfer. The institution from which a person wishes to graduate
makes the final decision on graduation require-
54
ments and the acceptance of transfer credits.
Students are urged to allow themselves plenty of
time and thought in which to plan the educational
program that will guide the remainder of their
lives and influence the quality of their living.
Appointments to see an academic advisor/counselor at Florida Keys Community College for
needed personal assessment and educational
guidance should be made early and regularly.
ATTENTION A.A. STUDENTS: For additional
information on transferring to a university, please
make an appointment to see one of our academic
advisor/counselors before the beginning of your
second year at FKCC.
Letters/Humanities and
Mathematics Course Requirements
for the Associate in Arts Degree
The Gordon Rule
In addition to tests that measure student
achievement in college-level communication and
computation skills, S.B.E. Rule 6A-10.30 (Gordon
Rule) requires that other assessment procedures
shall be measured by completion of coursework
in letters and humanities and mathematics.
For purposes of this rule, a grade of "C" or higher
shall be considered successful completion.
Prior to receipt of an Associate in Arts degree
from a public community college or university or
prior to entry into the upper division of a public
university, a student shall complete successfully
the following:
1. Twelve (12) semester hours of letters and
humanities coursework in which the student is
required to demonstrate writing skills. For the purpose of this rule, a letters and humanities course
is defined as any semester-length course within
the general study area of letters and humanities
in which the student is required to produce written
work of at least six thousand (6,000) words.
English Composition and courses that satisfy the
writing requirement are listed in Area I Letters and
Humanities.
2. Six (6) semester hours of mathematics course
work at the level of college algebra or higher.
Logic or statistics courses may be used to fulfill
three (3) hours of the six (6) hour computation
requirement when specified.
Exemptions and Waivers
Any student who completes the first six (6) hours
of the English composition course work (ENC
1101-ENC 1102) required by this rule with a
grade point average of 4.0 may waive completion
of the remaining six (6) hours until after entry into
the upper division of a university.
Diversity Statement
Most Florida universities and many universities in
other states have implemented a Diversity
requirement. Students should see their
Counselors for further information and guidance
regarding this requirement. Diversity courses
offered by FKCC have been identified in the
Associate in Arts Degree curriculum below.
Courses marked with an (M) have an
International or Multicultural emphasis. Courses
marked with a (D) emphasize diversity within the
United States or, more generally, within the
Western experience.

SPECIALIZED ACADEMIC PROGRAMS
Dual Enrollment
Continuing Education
Students Still in High School--students who show
exceptional talent, emotional stability and social
maturity may attend Florida Keys Community
College prior to their high school graduation. There
are three types of enrollment available for high
school students: dual enrollment, dual enrollment/
dual credit and early admissions.
The Continuing Education Office offers a wide
range of non-credit classes and seminars designed
to help the individual fulfill his or her potential, both
personally and professionally. Programs and classes are held throughout Monroe County at three different convenient locations--Coral Shores High
School at the Upper Keys Center, Marathon High
School at the Middle Keys Center and in Key West
on the main campus as well as at business sites.
In most cases, acceptance into these programs is
based on the student having completed the ninth
grade.
The applicant must have written approval from
his/her high school principal to take courses and to
have college credits applied toward high school
graduation, with the exception of courses taught at
the high school as part of FKCC s dual enrollment/
dual credit program.
Normally high school students may register for
three to six credit hours during a semester.
However, students who have fulfilled the majority of
the requirements for their senior year may be permitted to register for up to twelve credit hours per
semester, provided they have maintained a 3.0
G.P.A. Credit loads exceeding six hours are
approved by the High School Principal and the
Director of Enrollment Services.
Dual enrollment students are those high school
students enrolled in both high school and in
FKCC college campus-based courses. Credits
earned at FKCC are applicable to a college
degree but not towards high school graduation.
Dual enrollment/dual credit students are those
high school students enrolled in both high school
and FKCC. Credits earned at FKCC (normally in
courses offered at the high school) are applicable
to both a college degree and high school graduation.
Early admissions
Academically superior high school students may
attend FKCC in lieu of their junior and/or senior
year in high school. Credits earned at FKCC are
applicable to both a college degree and high
school graduation. As in the case of Dual
Enrollment/ Dual Credit, students must have
advance approval from the high school principal
to participate in the program and to have their college credits apply toward high school graduation.
Non-credit customized training programs tailored to
meet the specific needs of business, industry
and/or government organizations may be held onsite at any business in Monroe County or at the
main campus of FKCC.
Classes meet for various lengths of time and are
scheduled on both weekdays and weekends, for
the convenience of students. A variety of classes
and teleconferences are also offered for professional growth to prepare, up-date or refine participants’ employment skills.
Registration is available by telephone or walk-in
and pre-registration is required as classes may be
limited in size. For more information or a schedule
of classes please call the Continuing Education
Office at (305) 296-9081.
DISTANCE LEARNING
PROGRAMS
FKCC courses are sometimes offered in Distance
Learning formats. These formats may include
video telecourses, teleconferencing, Internet-based
and correspondence courses. Special fees may
vary.
Video Telecourses - Credit From
Home Study
For those who find their work or personal schedule
so hectic that it s hard to attend a class, FKCC
offers the student the option to earn college credit
by taking video telecourses through home study.
There are three video telecourse options: 1) View
it on television via AT&T Cable; 2) View the course
tape at the FKCC Library or at the Middle and
Upper Keys Centers; 3) Check out the tape from
the FKCC Library or the centers. Each course is
normally one hour in length, aired one day per
week.
79
Using the video resources of Florida Department
of Education s Instructional Television, the Public
Broadcasting Service and original local programming, FKCC provides a wide range of exciting
subjects. Some of them include: Business
Management, Introduction to Business, Marketing,
Political Science, Archaeology, Anthropology,
Physical Geology, Marriage and Family, Wellness
& Health, Psychology, Contemporary Nutrition,
Astronomy and Social Problems.
Although students have the convenience of
watching tapes on their own, instructors also may
interact with students via Internet email and chats,
a few class meetings and other means. A syllabus will be mailed to telecourse students.
Discussion sessions, assignments, required textbooks and study guides vary according to course.
For a complete schedule of available video telecourses, consult the schedule of classes each
term, go to the FKCC website at:
www.firn.edu/fkcc/ library/dised.htm, or call the
Library or Enrollment Services Office.
Teleconference Courses
Also, as part of Distance Education, teleconferencing services allow for some special classes to
be televised between the Key West campus,
Marathon Middle Keys Center and Tavernier,
Upper Keys Center. This means a class offered
in Marathon, Tavernier or Key West could be
viewed live at the other site so students would not
have to travel away from home. Students should
consult the schedule for such classes.
Internet Courses - Credit From
Home Study
Internet supported Distance Learning is available
at FKCC for part-time students and for those who
require a flexible study program.
Internet courses are taken primarily through
Internet technologies. These technologies vary
from course to course, but most likely include a
communication technology (e.g. e-mail, discussion lists, or chat rooms) and a delivery technology (e.g. text in html format with links, real audio
lectures, or QuickTime video format.) The majority
of the work is done independently; however, a
course may require some real-time meetings,
either in person or through a web-based technology such as chat.
80
These courses are particularly good for students
who are self-motivated and competent in basic
computing and Internet use. For a complete
listing of Internet supported Distance Learning
programs, contact the FKCC website at:
www.fkcc.cc or www.distancelearn.org.
The facilities at the FKCC campus, including the
Learning Resources Center complement the
learning process for students by providing computers, video and audio equipment, and library
access.
Correspondence Courses - Credit
From Home Study
Students enrolled in programmed study/correspondence classes may be expected to work from
required texts, to read from provided bibliographies, to watch videos or other films available
from the Learning Resources Center or sometimes commercial video rental stores, to listen to
audiotapes, etc. Assessments may include, but
are not limited to, regularly scheduled tests,
and/or essay requirements. Depending on the
course, the students may not have to come to
campus at all, but in any case, the number of oncampus trips is limited and the scheduling is
typically very flexible. Communications with the
instructor can be made by phone, mail, or email,
and personal appointments can be requested.
The exact requirements, and the deadlines for
each course are expressed in its syllabus.
2+2 PROGRAMS (BARRY
UNIVERSITY AND FLORIDA STATE
UNIVERSITY)
Barry University
FKCC and Barry University have joined forces to
offer a Bachelor of Science (BS) in Elementary
Education and a BS in Exceptional Student
Education that can be earned on the FKCC main
campus in Key West.
After completing the Associate in Arts Degree at
FKCC, students enter the Barry University program as full-time, evening students. Upon completion of four semesters of upper-division coursework with Barry, participants earn a Bachelor of
Science Degree from Barry s Adrian School of
Education and are certified to teach in the state of
Florida.
For additional information about this 2+2 program,
contact the FKCC Counseling Services Office or
visit the Barry University website at
www.barry.edu.
Florida State University
Through the Distance Learning Initiative and a
partnership between FKCC and Florida State
University, students with an Associate of Arts
degree or higher can earn an FSU Bachelor s
degree. Currently two Baccalaureate programs
are being offered via the Internet: 1) Information
Studies; and 2) Computer and Information
Science with a major in Computer Science and
Software Engineering. In addition, a Masters
Degree in Instructional Systems with a major in
Open and Distance Learning is available.
Each student will receive the necessary instructional materials designed for each course, access
to a course Web site, and the email address of
everyone associated with the class. Students use
these materials, which may include videotapes,
CD-ROMs, textbooks, and study guides. A
unique aspect of FKCC s distance
learning program is the support
provided to students through an
assigned mentor, who serves as a
learning guide to promote student
success.

COURSE DESCRIPTIONS
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 seventeen
participating non-public 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 is 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 committees appointed for that
purpose by the Florida Department of Education in
Tallahassee. Individuals nominated to serve on
these committees are selected to maintain a representative balance as to type of institution and
discipline field or specialization.
The course prefix and each digit in the course
number have meaning in the Statewide Course
Numbering System (SCNS). The list of course
prefixes and numbers, along with their generic
titles, is referred to as the "SCNS Taxonomy."
Descriptions of the content of the courses are
referred to as "course equivalent profiles."

General Rule for Course
Equivalencies
Equivalent courses at different institutions are
identified by the same prefixes and same last
three digits of the course number and are guaranteed to be transferable between the participating
institutions that offer the course, with a few exceptions. (Exceptions are listed below.)
For example, a survey course in social problems is
82
offered by 31 different postsecondary institutions.
Each institution uses "SYG _010" to identify its
social problems course. The level code is the first
digit and represents the year in which students
normally take this course at a specific institution.
In the SCNS taxonomy, "SYG" means "Sociology,
General," the century digit "0" represents "EntryLevel General Sociology," the decade digit "1"
represents "Survey Course," and the unit digit "0"
represents "Social Problems."
In science and other areas, a "C" or "L" after the
course number is known as a lab indicator.
The "C" represents a combined lecture and laboratory course that meets in the same place
at the same time. The "L" represents a laboratory
course or the laboratory part of a course, having
the same prefix and course number without a lab
indicator, which meets at a different time or place.
Transfer of any successfully completed course
from one institution to another is guaranteed in
cases where the course to be transferred is equivalent to one offered by the receiving institution.
Equivalencies are established by the same prefix
and last three digits and comparable faculty credentials 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 completed
equivalent courses and used by the receiving institution to determine satisfaction of requirements by
transfer students on the same basis as credit
awarded to native students. It is the prerogative of
the receiving institution, however, to offer transfer
credit for courses successfully completed which
have not been designated as equivalent.
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
Classification Discipline
State Board of Education Rule 6A-10.024 (19),
Florida Administrative code reads:
Accounting: General........................................ACG
When a student transfers among postsecondary
institutions that are fully accredited by a regional
or national accrediting agency recognized by the
United States Department of Education and that
participate in the common course designation and
numbering system, the receiving institution shall
award credit for courses satisfactorily completed at
the previous participating institution when the
courses are judged by the appropriate common
course designation and numbering system faculty
task forces to be academically equivalent to courses offered at the receiving institution, including
equivalency of faculty credentials, regardless of
the public or nonpublic control of the previous
institution. The award of credit may be limited to
courses that are entered in the course numbering
system. Credits so awarded shall satisfy institutional requirements on the same basis as credits
awarded to native students. (Exceptions to the
General Rule for Equivalency.)
American Literature.........................................AML
The following courses are exceptions to the general rule for course equivalencies and may not be
transferable. Transferability is at the discretion of
the receiving institution:

MAT 0024C - Introduction to Algebra
Credits: 3.00
(Does not carry college credit.) Algebra is the
study of how variable quantities relate to each
other. Students learn how to use the three most
common kinds of mathematical relationships (linear, quadratic and exponential) to solve real problems. The graphing calculator is used throughout
to illustrate the students’ work in linear, quadratic,
and exponential models. Extensive use of the
graphing calculator also reduces the emphasis on
memorized mathematical procedures and allows
the student to focus on discovering how mathematical models solve real problems and allow us
to make predictions about complex situations
involving many variables. The students still use a
procedure based textbook to learn the basic algebraic principles: signed number, equation solving,
systems of equations, polynomials, factoring, rationals, radicals, quadratics, etc. However, the goal
of the course involves a much higher order of
thinking...the analysis and synthesis of math models and the evaluation of those models. Laboratory
