The rule implements the statewide articulation agreement of Section 1007.23, Florida Statutes, which facilitates the transfer of credit across Florida educational entities. The purpose is to insert provisions regarding Florida’s 2+2 system of articulation: to clarify that provisions in the rule indicating a student with an associate in arts degree from a Florida public postsecondary institution shall be granted admission to an upper division program at a public postsecondary institution do not prevent a public postsecondary institution from denying admission or continued enrollment based on an applicant’s past misconduct; to clarify transfer guarantees for students with courses completed after award of the associate in arts degree; and to update the Articulation Coordinating Committee Credit-by-Exam Equivalencies list. The effect is to align the rule with institution standard admission practices and statutory articulation provisions and to expand credit-by-examination course equivalencies.
