  2. What’s new in The Florida College System? • Enrollment for the 2009-10 year reached 900,000. • Career and technical programs continue to be added or amended to adjust to emerging technologies. • Currently, there are over 500 career and technical programs offered throughout the System. • Most students are pursuing the Associate of Arts.

  3. What’s new in The Florida College System? • The System continues to expand its baccalaureate offerings. • Currently (2010-11), we have 124 programs at 19 different colleges with 13,168 students enrolled in baccalaureate programs. • Almost 5,000 students have earned a baccalaureate degree from a Florida college since they were first offered.

  4. What’s new in The Florida College System? • In 2010, The Florida College System joined the Complete College America States Alliance, pledging to double the number of graduates by 2020. • The Division has set a goal to increase our certificate and degree production from 70,738 in 2007-08 to 146,283 in 2019-20.  • For more information on Complete College America go to http://www.completecollege.org/.

  5. College & Career Readiness • Students are considered college and career ready when they have the knowledge, skills, and academic preparation needed to enroll and succeed in introductory college credit-bearing courses within an associate or baccalaureate degree program without the need for remediation. These same attributes and levels of achievement are needed for entry into and success in postsecondary workforce education or directly into a job that offers gainful employment and career advancement. • http://www.fldoe.org/cc/collegecareerreadiness.asp

  6. College & Career Readiness • Senate Bill 1908, passed by the 2008 Florida Legislature, requires cross-sector (secondary-postsecondary) cooperative efforts to expand the college/career readiness testing of 11th grade students who express postsecondary intent, and further collaborative efforts to make postsecondary remediation available to 12th grade students who demonstrate a need for and interest in additional preparation • Students are placed based on cut scores in three courses for remediation: • Math for College Success • Reading for College Success • Writing for College Success • Student must pass course with a C and the Basic Skills Exit Test to be guaranteed entry into college level courses at the college • FASTER transcript

  7. Open Access Admissions Associate Degrees require: • Standard high school diploma • General Equivalency Diploma (GED) • Home School Affidavit • CPT-Eligible Certificate of Completion • Awarded to students who meet ALL requirements for standard high school diploma EXCEPT passage of grade 10 FCAT. • Allowed to sit for the Common Placement Test (CPT) and be placed into college credit or remedial courses as appropriate. • May not transfer to a state university before completing the AA degree Career and Technical Certificate Programs • Open to all students - requires Basic Skills Exit Test

  8.

  10. Common Placement Testing Program • Students who intend to enter degree programs must achieve minimum cut-off scores on one of the following approved tests before being permitted to enroll in college-level courses: • Florida College Entry-Level Placement (CPT) • Enhanced ACT • SAT-I • P.E.R.T.

  11. Postsecondary Education Readiness Test (P.E.R.T.) • Florida’s new common placement exam • Customized for Florida and aligned to Florida’s Postsecondary Readiness Competencies • Components • Placement Tests (3 sub-tests) • Identifies appropriate course placement (developmental education through college credit) • Reading • Writing • Mathematics • Diagnostics • For areas where deficiencies exist, students will have opportunity to take diagnostic and identify specific deficiencies

  12. Postsecondary Education Readiness Test (P.E.R.T.) • Most colleges have begun implementing P.E.R.T. Full implementation is expected by fall 2011. • We anticipate rule development will be initiated in spring 2012 once there is enough data to support final cut scores. • P.E.R.T. placement tests administered to high school students will be included in the high school grading calculation.

  13. Developmental Education/Remediation • College students may need to enroll in approved college preparatory courses to develop the skills necessary for college-level courses if they have not: • achieved the minimum cut-scores on one of the approved college placement tests; • successfully completed specified remedial courses at the high school level • Developmental Education courses yield no credit toward a degree.

  14. Acceleration Mechanisms • Dual enrollment • Passing scores on Advanced Placement (AP) exams (http://www.fldoe.org/articulation/pdf/ACC-CBE.pdf) • Passing scores on the IB and AICE Program exams (http://www.fldoe.org/articulation/pdf/ACC-CBE.pdf) • Passing scores on CLEP exams (http://www.fldoe.org/articulation/pdf/ACC-CBE.pdf) • Select industry certifications (http://www.fldoe.org/workforce/programs/IndustryCert/)

  15. Students with Disabilities • Before a student enrolls at the institution, they should visit the Disability Services office to discuss and arrange services. • Students must self-identify to the college in order to receive services. • Documentation requirements may vary from those accepted at the high school level. • Accommodations may vary from those available at the high school level.

  16. Residency Requirements • To qualify as a Florida resident, a student, or his or her parent/guardian if the student is a dependent, must have established and maintained legal residency in the state for a minimum of 12 consecutive months prior to the first day of classes for the term in which the student is registered. • Most students under the age of 24 are considered dependents and their residency status will be based upon parental information. • The student, or parent/guardian if the student is a dependent, must present documentation to claim residency. • Types of documentation accepted include: • Florida Driver’s License or ID Card • Vehicle registration in Florida • Voter registration in Florida • Proof of purchase of a home in Florida • HS Transcript demonstrating at least 2 years at a FL high school if he student graduated within the last 12 months.

  17. Foster Youth & Homeless Youth • Approximately 1,000 students received financial assistance from the state based on their status as a foster youth to pursue postsecondary education at a Florida College during the 2008-09 academic year. • Federal student aid is also available for foster and homeless youth through a special provision which makes them independent students, and, potentially eligible for the maximum amount of aid. • Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)

  18. Statewide 2+2 Program • An Associate of Arts (AA) from a Florida college guarantees admission to an upper division program at a public postsecondary institution including a state university and a Florida College System institution. • There is no guarantee that students will be admitted to the university or college of their choice or program of their choice. • Students entering a university as a transfer student through the statewide articulation agreement: • will not be required to complete any additional general education requirements • will have equal opportunity to compete with native students for limited access programs • will have a minimum of 60 credit hours transferred to the university towards the baccalaureate degree • will have access to information regarding prerequisites for university programs and the ability to take those courses at a Florida college
