PURPOSE AND EFFECT: HB 1285 (2024) amended section 1007.25, F.S., which provides requirements for the new specialized Associate in Arts transfer (SAAT) degrees. To implement these provisions, the Florida Department of Education will revise its existing rule and create a new rule.

SUMMARY: Rule language is being amended to incorporate the addition of SAAT degree programs and will update the Credit by Examination List for the 2024-25 academic year. Language related to credit for certain prior experience in the military or law enforcement is being removed and outlined in a new rule. The new rule will outline the procedures and requirements a Florida postsecondary institution must follow to award credit to potential students based on their previous occupation and the training and experience associated with that occupation.

SUMMARY OF STATEMENT OF ESTIMATED REGULATORY COSTS AND LEGISLATIVE RATIFICATION:

The Agency has determined that this will not have an adverse impact on small business or likely increase directly or indirectly regulatory costs in excess of $200,000 in the aggregate within one year after the implementation of the rule. A SERC has not been prepared by the Agency.

The Agency has determined that the proposed rule is not expected to require legislative ratification based on the statement of estimated regulatory costs or if no SERC is required, the information expressly relied upon and described herein: This proposed rule is not expected to have any adverse impact on economic growth, business competitiveness or any other factors listed in s. 120.541(2)(a), F.S., and will not require legislative ratification. No increase in regulatory costs are anticipated as a result of this rule. This is based upon the nature of the proposed rule.

Any person who wishes to provide information regarding a statement of estimated regulatory costs, or provide a proposal for a lower cost regulatory alternative must do so in writing within 21 days of this notice.

6A-10.024 Articulation Between and Among Universities, Florida Colleges, and School Districts.

It is the intent of the Board of Governors in regulation and the State Board of Education in rule to facilitate articulation and seamless integration of the education system by agreeing to the provisions of this articulation agreement, pursuant to Section 1007.23, F.S. The authority to adopt and amend this rule aligns with the Constitutional power given the Board of Governors for the state university system and the statutory authority given the State Board of Education for the district school boards, the Florida College System, and the Department of Education.

(1) No change.

(2) General education.

(a) Each state university and Florida College System institution shall establish a general education curriculum, which shall require thirty-six (36) semester hours of communication, mathematics, social sciences, humanities, and natural sciences for students working toward an associate in arts degree, specialized associate in arts transfer degree, or baccalaureate degree.

(b) After a state university or Florida College System institution has published its general education curriculum, the integrity of that curriculum shall be recognized by the other public postsecondary institutions. Once a student has been certified by such an institution on the official transcript as having completed satisfactorily its prescribed general education curriculum, regardless of whether the associate in arts degree or specialized associate in arts transfer degree is conferred, no other public postsecondary institution to which he or she may transfer shall require any further such general education courses.

(c) No change.

(3) Associate in Arts (A.A.) Degree. Every associate in arts graduate of a Florida College System institution shall be granted admission to the upper division of a public postsecondary institution consistent with Section 1007.23, F.S. Admission to the student’s preferred public postsecondary institution or program is not guaranteed.

(a) The associate in arts degree is defined in subsection 6A-14.030(3), F.A.C., (The rule may be obtained from the Office of K-20 Articulation, Florida Department of Education, 325 West Gaines Street, Tallahassee, Florida 32399) which definition is incorporated by reference herein, and for purposes of this agreement, shall include:

1. (a) Completion of sixty (60) semester hours of college credit courses in an established program of study that includes a general education curriculum of thirty-six (36) semester hours of college credit in communication, mathematics, social sciences, humanities, and natural sciences and demonstration of competency in a foreign language pursuant to s. 1007.262, F.S., and demonstration of civic literacy competency pursuant to s. 1007.25(5), F.S. competence as described in Rule 6A-10.02412, F.A.C., (The rule may be obtained from the Office of Articulation, Florida Department of Education, 325 West Gaines Street, Tallahassee, Florida 32399), which is incorporated by reference herein. The sixty (60) semester hours that comprise a completed associate in arts degree shall be accepted in total upon transfer to an upper division program at another public postsecondary institution.

2. (b) Achievement of a cumulative grade point average of at least 2.0, provided that only the final grade received in courses repeated by the student shall be used in computing the average. The grade of “D” shall transfer and count toward the associate and baccalaureate degrees in the same way as “D” grades obtained by native students in the receiving public postsecondary institution. Whether courses with “D” grades in the major satisfy requirements in the major field may be decided by the receiving public postsecondary institution.

(b) (c) Nothing herein shall prevent a postsecondary institution from denying admission or continued enrollment based on an applicant’s past misconduct, both on or off campus, or when past actions have been found to disrupt or interfere with the orderly conduct, processes, functions or programs at any other postsecondary institution.

(c) (4) Each student in an associate in arts program at a Florida College System institution must indicate a baccalaureate degree program at an institution of interest by the time the student earns thirty (30) semester hours. If the student indicates a program at a public postsecondary institution, the Florida College System institution in which the student is enrolled must inform the student of the common program prerequisites, pursuant to Section 1007.23(4) (3), F.S.

(d) (5) The award of additional credit after award of the associate in arts degree pursuant to Section 1007.25(9)(a), F.S., does not exclude a student from the provision in subsection (3). However, students must maintain a cumulative grade point average of 2.0 or higher to qualify for guaranteed admission under subsection (3) of this rule.

(4) Specialized Associate in Arts Transfer (SAAT) Degree. Specialized associate in arts transfer degrees are designed for Florida College System institution students who need lower-level coursework beyond the sixty (60) credits required for the general associate in arts degree for admission to a specified bachelor’s degree program. Every associate in arts specialized transfer degree graduate of a Florida College System institution shall be granted admission to the upper division of a public postsecondary institution based upon an executed articulation agreement between the awarding Florida College System institution and receiving State University System institution consistent with s. 1007.25, F.S., as approved by the State Board of Education.

The grade of “D” shall transfer and count toward the associate and baccalaureate degrees in the same way as “D” grades obtained by native students in the receiving public postsecondary institution. Whether courses with “D” grades in the major satisfy requirements in the major field may be decided by the receiving public postsecondary institution.

(b) Nothing herein shall prevent a postsecondary institution from denying admission or continued enrollment based on an applicant’s past misconduct, both on or off campus, or when past actions have been found to disrupt or interfere with the orderly conduct, processes, functions or programs at any other postsecondary institution.

(5) (6) Associate in Science (A.S.) Degree. The associate in science degree is defined in subsection 6A-14.030(5) (4), F.A.C., and for purposes of this agreement shall include:
