RULE NO.:RULE TITLE:
6A-10.02413Civic Literacy Competency
PURPOSE AND EFFECT: To identify an additional assessment that college students can use to satisfy civic literacy as required by s.1007.25(4), F.S. General education courses; common prerequisites; other degree requirements. The effect of the proposed amendment is to add the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services Naturalization Test – Civics (U.S. history and government) with supplemental questions, also known as the Florida Civic Literacy Test, as an option by which students can demonstrate civic literacy competency. This amendment aligns the rule with the Board of Governors regulation 8.006 and presents a low-cost option for students. Additionally, the amendment will specify that high school students who pass the Florida Civic Literacy Test during the 2019-20 school year as part of the civic literacy exam pilot will have demonstrated postsecondary civic literacy competency at Florida College System institutions.
