FOREWORD
This is the Florida National University Catalog.
This Catalog presents the sum of those administrative and academic policies and procedures that are needed for the efficient and effective operation of the campuses

who will come to us with demanding goals, determined to work bravely for them, and demonstrating a feeling of solidarity toward their fellowman for the good of all.
We welcome students coming from every land; proudly recognize our graduates; and honor our splendid faculty, staff, and administration for what has been accomplished to

Admission Policies and Procedures
Florida National University has an open door admissions policy and welcomes all qualified applicants without regard to ethnic background, sex, religion, national origin, age, or physical handicap. An Open Door Enrollment Admissions policy means that any student with a high school diploma or GED certificate can attend. With guaranteed acceptance, open admissions policies are all about access and opportunity: any student who has completed high school has the option of pursuing a college degree. Open Enrollment Admission colleges do not require SAT or ACT test scores, but students are expected to take a diagnostic test upon admission to test their competency. The test will be used to determine whether students will be required to take remedial or developmental coursework before being allowed to take college level courses. The open admission policy does not mean that there are no restrictions on admission to specific programs. It does mean that these restrictions are flexible enough to allow students opportunities to improve their educational status by eliminating deficiencies through remedial work. New students seeking admission to a specific program must provide appropriate transcripts and participate in placement assessment to meet prerequisites/co-requisites. When new students are able to meet the specific admission requirements for a given curriculum, they may then be enrolled in that curriculum and remain in the program as long as they make satisfactory progress and remain enrolled on a continuous basis as required by their curriculum. Admission to the college does not guarantee admission to all programs or courses, as some programs may be highly selective. Although the University follows an open door admissions policy, there will be no compromise with academic standards.
24
ADMISSION PROCEDURES
Applications for admission are processed under a policy of continuous admissions. They are initiated at the Admissions Office. An admissions representative, the registrar, and the financial aid officer interview the applicant to discuss student career goals, program schedules, costs, required documents, placement or diagnostic tests as applicable, and eligibility for financial assistance. These interviews conclude with the signing of the Enrollment Application, a contract that covers all obligations between FNU and the student.
OFFICIAL TRANSCRIPTS
Applicants must request official academic transcripts from their high school, and these transcripts are to be mailed directly to the Registrar’s Office. Each applicant is responsible for initiating the request(s) for transcripts, and for verifying that they are received at the Registrar’s Office within the student’s first semester. (International students, refer to page 26). Applicants holding a high school diploma or GED diploma must bring the original documents to the Registrar’s Office. They will be copied and returned to the applicant. For military personnel, FNU accepts the following official transcripts: Joint Services Transcript (JST).
TYPES OF INSTITUTIONAL EXAMS

ADVANCED PLACEMENT POLICY
Florida National University participates in the Advanced Placement Program agreement administered by high schools through the College Board. After applying for admission to FNU, applicants who have taken the AP examination should request that the Educational Testing Service send the examination grade report directly to the Registrar’s Office. Examination scores of 5, 4, and 3 are acceptable for credit.
CAMBRIDGE AICE Florida National University will transfer AICE courses completed with a grade of C and above that are equivalent to FNU courses. Students are encouraged to consult with the Registrar’s Office to determine course equivalency.
COLLEGE BOARD – COLLEGE LEVEL EXAMINATION PROGRAM The College Level Examination Program (CLEP) consists of subject tests that allow students to earn college credits by examination. Each college or university reserves the right to set its own credit-granting policy. The College Board recommends a score of 50 or above, equivalent to a grade of C in the corresponding course.
PROCEDURE FOR ADMISSION OF MILITARY APPLICANTS The applicants that are active military personnel from the Army and Navy Forces are exempt from the Diagnostic exam. The Armed Forces Qualifying Test (AFQT)/ASVAB will be accepted instead. The AFQT
26
score determines if the applicants qualify for enlisting in their service. This test is composed of Arithmetic Reasoning, Math Knowledge and Verbal Composite (Grammar/Reading Comprehension). The AFQT qualifying scores for each branch are: Army 31 and Navy 35. This score qualifies the applicant for enlisting, the career field or military occupation, and eligibility to enroll in university courses/programs. Scores of 31 and 35 indicate that the students are performing at high school level (12th) and do not require remediation. Applicants need to provide the official transcripts from the Armed Forces (DOD). This procedure does not apply for discharged personnel, veterans and family members. Its purpose is to facilitate admissions to military personnel that are in active duty and are unable to take the Diagnostic exam due to technical problems with the delivery.
ADMISSION OF INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS Florida National University is authorized under United States Federal Law, Immigration and Naturalization Act, Sections (101) (a) (15) (F) (I), and (101) (a) (15) (M) (I) to enroll non-immigrant alien students. Registration of students on an I-20 Visa must be for at least a period of four (4) months the equal of one semester or 12 credits; this applies equally to the bachelor degree, associate of science and associate of arts degree programs, the career education diploma program, or the certificate program. In order to process an I-20 Visa the applicants are required to fulfill the following admissions procedures: 1. Application for admission, including all admissions credentials, must be received at least 30 days prior
to the semester in which the applicant plans to enroll. 2. High school academic transcript(s) must be official. 3. Transcript(s) in languages other than English must include an official certified English translation. 4. Students must demonstrate English proficiency when enrolling in a career program. (TOEFL of 62
and above with each section with an acceptable level (intermediate or fair and above) / IELTS 5.5 / PTEA 44)
5. Foreign schools attended must have proper accreditation by the Ministry of Education of their country or a USA accrediting commission.
6. Documented evidence of means of financial support must be provided to FNU for admission purposes and for issuance of the Certificate of Eligibility (I-20-M-N) form. This evidence is also required by the American Embassy or Consulate when applying for a student visa to enter the United States.
7. International students must have funds available for paying fees when they register for their classes each semester. Financial aid in the form of grants or loans from federal or state sources is not available to international students.
8. Students must arrive in the USA a week prior to the start date. NOTE: International Students applying for admission without a copy of their high school diploma or
certificate of completion, but they have transcripts from a foreign university, can be admitted as long as the foreign documentation provided is original and valid. Students that are exiles from Cuba or any other country under political repression, in most instances are not allowed to obtain copies of their educational credentials as the government prohibits such a practice of releasing records much less sending them to another country. If students come with documentation from a foreign university, the above guidelines apply to them since that indicates that they have had to complete high school prior to entering their programs of study.
In the case that a student cannot provide a high school diploma, and he/she states that it was
completed in his/her country; we recommend that an equivalency test be taken.
27
For Graduate Programs: 1. International students must have earned a Bachelor’s degree with a GPA of 2.50 or more. 2. Original US equivalency evaluation (not the translation) for the Bachelor degree program provided
from an accredited foreign credentials evaluation agency. Evaluations should be post-secondary, course-by-course with GPA evaluation.
3. International MBA students must participate in the Curriculum Practical Training (CPT) as an integral part of the core curriculum for international students. This requires a practicum offered by sponsoring employers having cooperative agreements with FNU or a letter from the employer specifying the job responsibilities. CPT has to run in conjunction with the academic curriculum and needs to start prior to the completion of the MBA program. Curriculum Practical Training will not delay the completion of the academic program and must meet the stipulated regulations governing International Student Visas. Students are responsible to find a suitable CPT program that must be documented as part of the student’s application for entry into the MBA program.
FINANCIAL REQUIREMENTS OF AN I-20 VISA
All international students must have sufficient personal resources to pay full FNU registration and tuition fees, textbooks, living expenses, transportation expenses, and other incidental expenses while attending a university in the United States. Documented evidence of means of financial support must be provided to Florida National University for admission purposes and issuance of the Certificate of Eligibility (I-20-M-N) form. This evidence is also required by the American Embassy or Consulate when applying for a student visa to enter the United States. Non–Florida residents, upon their registration at FNU, will be required to submit the non-refundable registration fee of two hundred and fifty dollars ($250.00).
SATISFACTORY PROGRESS REQUIREMENT FOR I-20 STUDENTS
All FNU students must be able to maintain a level of satisfactory progress (an average of “C” or 2.0) throughout their time at the institution. Florida National University is required by law to report to immigration students who:
1. Do not report to FNU at the scheduled time; 2. Do not attend classes to the minimum extent required; 3. Terminate their attendance at FNU.
Students in Graduate programs must maintain a satisfactory academic progress (an average of B or 3.0) throughout their time at the institution.
TRANSFERABILITY TO FNU
Transferability refers to the procedure that the University utilizes to accept credits from other post-secondary institutions.
Students who wish to continue their studies at FNU may transfer up to 65% of the total number of credits required for completion of a program. That is:
A maximum of 78 credits towards a 120-credit program. A maximum of 52 credits towards a 80-credit program. A maximum of 49 credits towards a 75-credit program. A maximum of 39 credits towards a 60-credit program. A maximum of 29 credits towards a 45-credit program. A maximum of 20 credits towards a 30-credit program.
(Exception – Students transferring to the BSN Program with an ADN Degree/RN License)
28
For the Master programs, up to six (6) credits can be transferred into the program. Graduate Certificates: Graduate Certification courses are drawn from the MBA program and are transferable (within five years) to graduates with a grade average of B or higher and meet the MBA admission requirements outlined in the FNU Catalog. The procedure for transferability of credits to FNU is as follows:
1. The applicant submits an original transcript of his/her courses from the previous institution(s) at the time of registration or within the student’s first semester of enrollment.
2. The Campus Registrar will render an interim evaluation of the transcript. Copy will be uploaded to CampusNexus system.
3. The University Registrar or the Vice-President of Academics will give the final approval to the transfer credits. 4. This final evaluation will be uploaded in the system and a notification will be send to the Office of Financial Aid for computation.
Grade point averages are not transferred; but courses transferred will appear on the student’s transcripts with their respective/earned grades.
Transfer credits are granted only for those courses in which a grade of “C” or better was earned. Criteria for transferring credits from an A.A. or A.S. degree program awarded at FNU to a baccalaureate program are shown on page 31. For internal transferability from one program to another program, the student must satisfactorily pass at least 25% of the credits corresponding with the new career to graduate.
FNU will accept credits from regionally accredited institutions that are applicable to the applicant’s program of study. FNU will accept credits from non-regionally accredited institutions for courses that are substantially equivalent in content to FNU’s courses and applicable to the applicant’s program and evaluated on a course- by-course basis. The acceptance of classes from non-regionally accredited institutions is contingent upon appropriate faculty credentials and applicable course content to the degree program. Additionally, FNU accepts transfer credits from nationally accredited institutions that participate in the Florida Statewide Course Numbering System.
Credits from international institutions will be evaluated and granted on course equivalency basis. The transcript must be translated into English and evaluated by an authorized educational evaluations and translations agency.
Credit is not awarded for developmental, preparatory, or vocational coursework.
Credit will be awarded for CLEP and AP test scores in compliance with FNU’s policy on these tests. Credit will be awarded for DANTES test programs in accordance with the recommendations of the American Council on Education. A maximum of 15 credits will be accepted from test scores. The credits must be earned before the student is enrolled or within the first two semesters.
Credit will be accepted from U.S. military service schools in accordance with the recommendations of the American Council on Education (ACE).
Credit for Experiential Learning (prior college-level learning attained outside a formal institution setting) will be evaluated and assessed according to the FNU procedures for acceptance and equivalency of Experiential Learning credits.
29
FNU reserves the right to choose the credentialing institutions it recognizes.
Veteran’s Credit for Previous Education or Training
Students must report all education and training. The University must evaluate and grant credit, if appropriate, with the training time shortened, the tuition reduced proportionately, and the VA and student notified.
Re-Enrollment / Readmission
Typically, a Re-Enrollment is a student who withdrew and requests enrollment in another program and Readmission is for students who withdrew and desire to return to the same program within five years. All re- entry must be processed by the Friday before the start date of every term. In both cases students must satisfy the readmission procedures as follows:
1. The student who withdrew with a CGPA of 2.0 or better and a clear balance will resume his/her studies following regular admission procedures.
2. The student who was terminated because of academic probation or lack of attendance and
has two consecutive semesters with a GPA under 2.0 cannot be considered for Re-Enrollment or Readmission unless the student requests a waiver of the Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy. The following process will apply:
a) A student who has been dropped or suspended because of inability to maintain a CGPA of
2.0 may reapply to Florida National University after being out of school for a minimum of one term. At that time, the student’s academic records will be evaluated to determine if it is possible for a 2.0 cumulative grade point average to be achieved and if the program can be completed within the maximum time frame of 1.5 time of the normal time frame for completion. If it is not possible for the student to meet both standards, the student will no longer be eligible for Title IV funds.
b) Additionally, Florida National University may use its discretion in waiving its Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy in cases where students have mitigating circumstances. Students requesting an appeal must submit a written request, with appropriate documentation, to the Vice President of Academic Affairs and the Vice President/Director of Financial Aid. If the appeal is approved, the student will be allowed one additional semester to meet the required standards and will be eligible for Title IV funds.
3. The student who was terminated because of inability to fulfill costs will have to pay the complete
balance before classes start.
4. The student who was terminated because of serious violations of FNU rules may not reapply at FNU
for admission. Additionally, Florida National University reserves the right to reject the application request of any student who comes from any other institution where the student has lost ― “Good Standing” status. Students that decide to continue onto a different program once a program has been completed, are not considered re-entry nor re-enrollments.

FERPA
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) affords eligible students certain rights with respect to their education records. (An “eligible student” under FERPA is a student who is 18 years of age or older or who attends a postsecondary institution at any age.) These rights include:
1. The right to inspect and review the student's education records within 45 days after the day Florida
National University (the “School”) receives a request for access. A student should submit to the Office of the Registrar a written request that identifies the record(s) the student wishes to inspect. The Registrar will make arrangements for access and notify the student of the time and place where the records may be inspected. If the records are not maintained by the Registrar, the Registrar shall advise the student of the correct official to whom the request should be addressed.
2. The right to request the amendment of the student’s education records that the student believes is
inaccurate, misleading, or otherwise in violation of the student’s privacy rights under FERPA.
A student who wishes to ask Florida National University to amend a record should write to the Office of the Registrar, clearly identify the part of the record the student wants changed, and specify why it should be changed.
37
If Florida National University decides not to amend the record as requested, Florida National University will notify the student in writing of the decision and the student’s right to a hearing regarding the request for amendment. Additional information regarding the hearing procedures will be provided to the student when notified of the right to a hearing.
3. The right to provide written consent before Florida National University discloses personally
identifiable information (PII) from the student's education records, except to the extent that FERPA authorizes disclosure without consent.

A school official typically includes a person employed by Florida National University in an administrative, supervisory, academic, research, or support staff position (including law enforcement unit personnel and health staff); a person serving on the board of trustees; or a student serving on an official committee, such as a disciplinary or grievance committee. A school official also may include a volunteer or contractor outside of Florida National University who performs an institutional service of function for which Florida National University would otherwise use its own employees and who is under the direct control of Florida National University with respect to the use and maintenance of PII from education records, such as an attorney, auditor, or collection agent or a student volunteering to assist another school official in performing his or her tasks. A school official typically has a legitimate educational interest if the official needs to review an education record in order to fulfill his or her professional responsibilities for Florida National University. Upon request, Florida National University also discloses education records without consent to officials of another school in which a student seeks or intends to enroll.
4. The right to file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Education concerning alleged failures by
Florida National University to comply with the requirements of FERPA. The name and address of the office that administers FERPA is:

Except for disclosures to school officials, disclosures related to some judicial orders or lawfully issued subpoenas, disclosures of directory information, and disclosures to the student, § 99.32 of FERPA regulations requires the institution to record the disclosure. Eligible students have a right to inspect and review the record of disclosures. A postsecondary institution may disclose PII from the education records without obtaining prior written consent of the student —
To other school officials, including teachers, within Florida National University whom Florida
National University has determined to have legitimate educational interests.

Campus Life Policies
When a student enrolls at Florida National University, the student seeks training and education that will enable him or her to enter, advance, and grow in the career or professional world that lies ahead. FNU encourages each student to show good judgment and base all human interaction on a code of natural ethics, in the belief that choosing the finest ways of communicating and dealing with others is as much a part of an individual’s success in the professional world as knowledge and skills are. The following campus rules are meant to help make this ideal a reality and make our facilities healthy, safe, and pleasant learning environments.
CODE OF BEHAVIOR Students will come to class on time, wearing their student ID card, and must remain in their classroom for the entire class session.
All students will bring textbooks and other materials to class every day. Breaks will be kept within the designated time frame of twenty minutes. The student should follow all safety rules. All female and male students with long hair must wear hair bands in the dental Lab. Students are expected to be generally in proper attire while they are on FNU grounds; tank tops, shorts or halters are not acceptable attire. Guests and visitors, generally, will not sit in the classrooms while instruction is going on, and under no circumstances will children be allowed in the classrooms. Eating and drinking are permitted only in the lounge. Smoking is permitted outdoors only. No alcohol or drugs are permitted on school grounds. Failure to comply may result in expulsion. Allied Health students are required to wear the FNU medical uniform at all times. Serious disturbances of order on campus will lead to suspension or possible expulsion. Respect for personal and university property, and a sense of responsibility about their own security and the security of others, is expected of all students at all times. Serious violations will be presented to the University Honor Court for adjudication. We expect all students to be of good moral character and to abide by all laws of our city, county, state, and nation. All students must comply with FNU’s Computer Use and Copyright Policies.
CONTROLLED SUBSTANCES
FNU has established a drug-and-alcohol-free awareness program. Possession, use, or being under the influence of a controlled substance while on campus property is strictly forbidden and is illegal by State and Federal Law. Violation of this policy will be met with disciplinary action up to and including termination.

HEOA COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT COMPLIANCE PLAN
Introduction
The Higher Education Opportunity Act (HEOA) of 2008 includes a requirement that institutions develop and
implement a plan to effectively combat the unauthorized distribution of material, the copyright in and to which
may be owned by a third party, by users of the institution’s network without unduly interfering with the
educational and research use of the network.
The plan must include:
1. The use of technology-based deterrents;
2. An educational component regarding appropriate and inappropriate use of copyrighted materials;
3. A description of the institution’s policy and procedures for handling copyright infringement; and 4. A required periodic review of the plan. Use of Technology-Based Deterrents Florida National University uses a number of technical means to monitor Peer to Peer (P2P) file sharing on its network. Information that is maintained includes records of P2P file sharing sessions of all Faculty, Staff and Students. This information includes source and destination information, usernames, files being transferred, and information on the P2P application being used. When P2P traffic is observed on the network the file being transferred is identified and compared against an extensive database of known content (Movies, TV shows, Music, Software, etc.) that is subject to a claim of copyright protection. If the content is identified as being protected, the web browser of the computer in question will be redirected to an Anti-Piracy Information page where the end user will be informed that they are uploading or downloading protected material. The Anti-Piracy notice will provide the end user with examples of the works infringed and inform them of legal means to download such content. In addition, application firewalls are enabled for all zones, which trigger general monitoring at three campus firewalls. The firewall has a signature group of common P2P apps and as new signatures are introduced, they are added to this group. These firewalls generate alerts that show up in logs, which are monitored on the firewall log viewer and via the GMS portal. Educational Plan for Electronic Copyright Protection
The Student Services Department, in cooperation with the VP of Academic Affairs will provide yearly notification to students, staff and faculty of the college’s intellectual property procedures. Additional information regarding appropriate use of copyrighted materials will be distributed to faculty, staff, and students as they are developed. The Student Services department will address FNU’s Copyright Infringement Policies during Orientation and the Policy will be posted throughout the campus during orientation. The VP of Academic Affairs will publish in the FNU Catalog the University’s stance on intellectual property rights, P2P file sharing, the Higher Education Opportunity Act (HEOA) and the Digital Millennium Copy right act (DMCA). The pages developed and published will include a link(s) to how to obtain content authored by a third party material legally. Description of Institution's Procedures for Handling Copyright Infringement

Individuals using the Information Technology Resources (or any portion thereof), the library, and/or any other academic resources at the University are responsible for complying with all applicable copyright laws and the University’s policies and procedures regarding the use of copyrighted materials. The University requires its students, faculty, and staff to educate themselves on the principles of copyright, to respect the rights of copyright owned by others, and to comply with all applicable laws pertaining thereto. Note: All content produced by University employees on or with the Information Technology Resources are the property of the University. Notification, Investigation, and Removal Procedures University Authority In the case of copyright infringement by a student, faculty or staff member, the University reserves the rights to deny, limit, or revoke access to the Information Technology Resources or to impose other sanctions at its discretion. (See the end of this Policy statement for procedures on copyright infringement concerning language, literature, or media other than Information Technology Resources.) Once a determination of copyright infringement has been made under the Procedures for Investigation and Disposition of Copyright Infringement Allegations, the matter will be referred to the appropriate authority as defined below. The Office of Student Services, using the Student Code of Conduct as its guideline, will deal with student violations of this Policy. Faculty violations of this Policy will be dealt with by the appropriate Division Head and other relevant University officials. Staff violations of this Policy will be dealt with by the appropriate supervisor and other relevant University officials. The procedures outlined below will apply when the University receives written notification of an alleged copyright infringement. Notification of Infringement by Copyright Holder Copyright holders who believe a student, faculty or staff member has infringed their copyrighted material must notify the University’s Vice President of Academic Affairs (the “Designated Agent”) of the allegedly infringing action or material in writing. For purposes of these procedures, an email message from the copyright holder shall be considered a written notice, provided that the copyright holder alleging such infringement is identified, and is willing to provide additional signed documentation of his/her claim.
43
The notification must: Identify the copyrighted material being infringed in sufficient detail to permit the University to locate the allegedly infringing material on the University’s Information Technology Resources; State the basis for the claim of possible infringement; and State the basis for the copyright holder’s copyright in the work (e.g., author, owner, assignee). Notification of Student, Faculty or Staff Member of Allegation of Copyright Infringement The Designated Agent will notify the student, faculty or staff member who appears to have posted the allegedly infringing material that an investigation procedure will be conducted according to this Policy. Procedure for Investigation and Disposition of Copyright Infringement Allegations In the event that the allegedly infringing material is being used for a class at the University, the Designated Agent will attempt to secure an arrangement with the copyright holder for use of the allegedly infringing material by the student, faculty or staff member until the end of the current academic term. Failing a satisfactory arrangement, the Designated Agent will notify the student, faculty or staff member and conduct an investigation of the alleged infringement, and will take action as set forth below regarding any allegedly infringing material. If, after the investigation, the Designated Agent determines that the allegedly infringing material appears not to infringe on the copyright of the copyright holder, the Designated Agent will notify the copyright holder and the student, faculty or staff member of this determination. If the copyright holder disagrees with the determination of the Designated Agent, the copyright holder may request in writing that the University ask its attorneys to render an opinion as to whether the allegedly infringing material constitutes copyright infringement. If the material is determined not to constitute copyright infringement, the material will remain on the Information Technology Resources. If, after conducting an investigation, the Designated Agent determines that the allegedly infringing material appears to infringe the copyright of the holder, the Designated Agent, working with the appropriate authority, will follow the procedures for removal of infringing material set forth below. Removal of Infringing Material If, after the Designated Agent’s investigation, the determination is made that the allegedly infringing material appears to infringe the copyright of the holder, the Designated Agent will notify the copyright holder and the student, faculty or staff member whose account was used to post the allegedly infringing material. The Designated Agent will direct the appropriate University IT staff member to remove, or block access to, the allegedly infringing material. At this time, the appropriate authority, as designated under “University Authority,” will be notified. Upon receipt of notification from the Designated Agent that the allegedly infringing material appears to infringe the copyright of the copyright holder and is being blocked or removed from the University’s Information Technology Resources, the student, faculty or staff member may request that the designated agent restore the removed or blocked material based on the student, faculty or staff member’s belief that the allegedly infringing material is not infringing. Such a request must be in writing and include a detailed statement of the basis for the student, faculty or staff member’s belief that the allegedly infringing material is not infringing, as well as a request to the Office of the VP of Academic Affairs that the removed or blocked material be restored. If the Designated Agent receives such a request from the student, faculty or staff member, the Designated Agent, in consultation with the appropriate University authority, will provide a copy of the request to the copyright holder and to the University’s attorneys, if the attorneys have not already provided an opinion on the matter. If, within ten days after a copy of the student, faculty or staff member’s request is sent to the copyright holder by the Designated Agent, the Designated Agent has not received a written request from the copyright holder to continue the blocking or removal of the allegedly infringing material, the Designated Agent will notify the University’s IT department to restore the material so long as the University’s attorneys, if they have been consulted, agree that the material does not constitute an infringement of copyright. The University’s IT
44
department may restore the allegedly infringing material within four (4) days of the receipt of such notification and the material may be downloaded again by the student, faculty or staff member. If the Designated Agent receives, within ten (10) days, a request from the copyright holder to continue the blocking or removal of the allegedly infringing material, the Designated Agent will provide copies of all correspondence to the University’s attorneys. Notification of this request from the copyright holder will also be sent to the student, faculty or staff member who had appealed the original decision regarding the alleged copyright infringement, and to the appropriate University authority. The University’s attorneys will be asked to render an opinion as to whether the allegedly infringing material constitutes copyright infringement. If the allegedly infringing material is determined, by the University’s attorneys, not to constitute copyright infringement, the material may be restored by the University’s IT department within four (4) days of such determination and the material may be downloaded again by the student, faculty or staff member. Procedures Involving Alleged Copyright Infringement Concerning Language, Literature, or Media other than Information Technology Resources Questions of alleged copyright infringement concerning language, literature, and media other than in connection with the University’s Information Technology Resources will be investigated by the established Designated Agent(s). This/these Designated Agent(s) will follow procedures and adhere to policies that are essentially the same as those outlined above (for Information Technology Resources) to ascertain if the fair use provisions of the Laws have been infringed upon. Blocking or removal of material determined to constitute copyright infringement will be handled in a manner determined to be appropriate for each such area, as will restoration of material that is determined, through the appeal process, not to constitute copyright infringement. Policy Review The Copyright Infringement’s Committee shall review this Policy annually. Interim Designation of Agents to Receive Notification of Claimed Infringement This is to notify copyright holders that the following persons have been designated by Florida National University to serve as Designated Agents, and to receive requests concerning claimed copyright infringement, pursuant to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act.

FINANCIAL AID PROGRAMS
These programs can be from federal, state or private sources. There are three types of federal student aid: Grants: financial aid that does not have to be repaid (unless, for example, you withdraw from school and owe a refund). Work-Study: allows you to earn money for your education. Loans: allow you to borrow money for your education. You must repay your loans, with interest.
LOANS, GRANTS AND SCHOLARSHIPS
FEDERAL DIRECT LOAN PROGRAM
Student loans, unlike grants and work-study are borrowed money that must be repaid, with interest. You cannot have these loans canceled because you did not like the education you received, did not get a job in your field of study or because you are having financial difficulty. Loans are legal obligations, so before you take out a student loan, think about the amount you need and do not request more than you need for your education. Your Federal Student Loans: “Learn the Basics and Manage Your Debt” can help you learn more about federal student loan debt. You can find this publication at www.FederalStudentAid.ed.gov . William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan (Direct Loan) Program – Loans made through this program are referred to as Direct Loans. Eligible students and parents borrow directly from the U.S. Department of Education. Direct Loan includes subsidized and unsubsidized Direct Stafford Loans, Direct PLUS Loans, and Direct Consolidation Loans.
Interest Rate for Direct Loan
The interest rate for new subsidized and unsubsidized loans first disbursed on or after July 1, 2006, is a fixed 6.80%, with these exceptions: subsidized undergraduate loans first disbursed between July 1, 2008, and June 30, 2009 (inclusive), have an interest rate of 6.00%; those disbursed between July 1, 2009, and June 30, 2010, have a rate of 5.60%. This will be further reduced in coming years. The interest rate for PLUS loans first disbursed on or after July 1, 2006, is a fixed 7.90%.
See chart below for the interest rates for Direct subsidized and unsubsidized loans first disbursed between July 1, 2017, and June 30, 2018:

FEDERAL Family Educational Loan (FFEL)
The Federal Family Educational Loan Program is a loan to help the student pay for postsecondary education. Loans made through this program are referred to as FFEL Loans. Private lenders provide funds that are guaranteed by the federal government. FFEL loans include subsidized and unsubsidized FFEL Stafford Loans, FFEL PLUS Loans and FFEL Consolidation Loans The Subsidized FFEL is based on financial need using a federal formula. Repayment begins six months after graduation or when enrollment drops below half time. Repayment may run up to 10 years. The Unsubsidized Federal Stafford Loan is not based on need and is available to students regardless of family income. However, because the government does not subsidize the loan, the student is responsible for all interest, which accrues during in-school, grace and deferment periods. Federal Parent Loan (PLUS) - Parents of dependent students may borrow up to the difference between the costs of education minus other financial aid. The borrower must have a good credit history.
Interest Rate for FFEL
For loans first disbursed on or after July1st, 2008, the interest is 6.0 for subsidized Stafford loans for undergraduate students and 6.8 percent for unsubsidized Stafford loans for undergraduate and graduate students. FFEL PLUS Loans first disbursed on or after July 1st, 2008 have a fixed interest rate of 8.5 percent. Direct Loans first disbursed on or after July 1st, 2006 have a fixed interest rate of 7.9 percent. Over a four-year period beginning July 1st, 2008 the interest rate on subsidized Stafford loans made to undergraduate students, with a first disbursement date on or after July 1st, 2008, will be reduced as shown in the following chart:
50
Interest Rate Reductions for Subsidized Stafford Loans
First disbursement of a Loan:
Made on or after And made before Interest rate on the unpaid balance
July 1st, 2008 July 1st, 2009 6.0 percent
July 1st, 2009 July 1st, 2010 5.6 percent
July 1st, 2010 July 1st, 2011 4.5 percent
July 1st, 2011 July 1st, 2012 3.4 percent
This change does not affect any prior loans made to these or any other borrowers, the terms and interest rates of those prior loans remain unchanged. These reduced interest rates apply only to subsidized loans made to undergraduate students; any unsubsidized Stafford Loan for the same undergraduate borrower would continue to be made at 6.8 percent.

BORROWER COUNSELING
First-time borrowers are required to participate in entrance counseling prior to receiving the first disbursement of their loan. The purpose of this counseling is to emphasize the student’s rights and responsibilities as a first-time borrower. Prior to leaving FNU (either by graduation or withdrawal) borrowers are required to participate in exit counseling to receive important information about repayment, consolidation, deferment, and other matters and to have the opportunity to ask questions about their specific situation. Examples of typical beginning payments for direct loan repayment plans are as on Table below. Estimated Direct Loan Repayment Amounts

FLORIDA NATIONAL EDUCATIONAL LOAN
The FNEL is for students who cannot afford to pay tuition in full and/or do not qualify either for Financial Assistance or the deferred payment plan. Contact the Financial Aid Department for more information.
FEDERAL PELL GRANT PROGRAM
A Pell Grant is an entitlement program designed to assist undergraduates in paying for their education. 1. The U.S. Department of Education evaluates applications. 2. The Department of Education uses a standard formula in their evaluation, which guarantees equal
treatment for all applicants, but it also means that, except for a few specific cases, there are no exceptions made for unique financial circumstances of students or their families. The formula used to determine the Estimated Family Contribution (EFC) is too long to be included in this catalog. However, a pamphlet that describes the formula in detail can be obtained by writing to Federal Student Aid, P.O. Box 84, Washington, DC, 20044.
3. Demonstrate financial need. The Department of Education mails an Institutional Student Information Record (ISIR) directly to the student, which the student submits to FNU, even if there is no award.
4. Be a high school graduate or hold a GED diploma. The amount of the award is determined by the Estimated Family Contribution (EFC), which is reported in the ISIR.
FEDERAL SUPPLEMENTAL EDUCATION OPPORTUNITY GRANT (FSEOG)
Federal Supplemental Education Opportunity Grants are awarded to undergraduate students with exceptional financial need who will also receive Federal Pell Grants during the award year. FSEOG funds are limited and students should apply at the time of admission to FNU for these funds. In order to serve the best interests of our students, FNU allocates a percentage of these funds for each starting class. First priority for receiving an FSEOG award will be an applicant with the lowest expected family contribution (EFC) who is also Pell eligible. If all Pell eligible students receive an FSEOG award, the next priority would be students with the lowest expected family contribution (EFC) who are not Pell eligible.
Access to Better Learning and Education Grant Program Program Description The Access to Better Learning and Education (ABLE) Grant Program provides tuition assistance to Florida undergraduate students enrolled in degree programs.

1. Only those students who are selected for verification by the Department of Education will be required to submit supporting documentation.
64
2. No Pell or Campus Based Funds will be disbursed prior to the completion of verification. 3. The institution prior to the completion of verification will certify a Federal Family Education Student Loan
application. However, the student has but 45 days from the time the check arrives to the institution to provide the necessary documentation. If not completed by that time the check will be returned to the lender.
4. For the Federal Pell Grant the student will have until 120 days after his/her last day of attendance or the end of the academic year, whichever is earlier, to complete verification. However, in the interim the student must have made arrangements with FNU for payment of all tuition and fees. After the passage of the aforementioned period, all Financial Aid that might have been due is forfeited.
5. All students will be notified on a timely basis if they have been selected for verification, and the supporting documentation that is required. The institution will use as its reference, the most recent verification guide supplied by the Department of Education. At that time the student will be informed of the time parameters and the consequences of not completing the verification cycle. The institution will notify the student of the result of verification and any other documentation needed. The institution will assist the student in correcting any information that is inaccurate.
6. If the student supplies inaccurate information on any application and refuses to correct it, after being counseled by the institution, FNU must refer this case to the Department of Education for resolution.

TRANSFERRING FINANCIAL AID
Financial Aid does not transfer automatically when a student transfers from one university to another. To continue receiving aid at the new university, the student must check with a Financial Aid officer at the new university to find out what programs are available and what steps are necessary. Students who decide to transfer must have the former university send a financial aid transcript to the new university. If the new university does not receive this transcript, the student will have difficulty receiving financial aid. Transfer students who have a Federal Pell Grant must get a duplicate copy of their Student Aid Report and submit it to the new university’s financial aid office. Transfer students who have a Federal Perkins Loan or a Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant should check with the Financial Aid Office at the new school to find out if funds from these programs are available.
NOTIFICATION OF FINANCIAL AID AWARDS
The student is notified of his or her awards in an award letter. If the student feels the awards do not cover his or her needs, the student should consult with FNU’s Financial Aid Officer.
REESTABLISHING ELIGIBILITY FOR FINANCIAL AID
Students who have been terminated for lack of satisfactory academic progress (2.0) and seek to reestablish their eligibility for financial aid must first successfully complete courses without benefit of financial aid in order to reestablish good academic standing.
DISBURSEMENT PROCEDURES
Awards will be made in accordance with the award letters issued by the Office of Financial Aid.

CLASS SCHEDULES
Most courses are scheduled as either three or four-hour sessions, held Monday through Friday, anytime from 8:30am - 10:00pm. Some courses are offered on Saturdays and clinical practices are offered 7 days a week, (scheduling based on program requirements and site availability). FNU also offers internet-based distance learning courses. FNU has a self-scheduling procedure established for some of the programs offered and it can be accessed through the FNU Portal. Certificate programs that run sequentially do not have the ability to have classes self-scheduled. Degree Programs have the self-scheduling option except Nursing Programs (ADN, BSN and MSN) as well as Physical Therapy Assistant, Sonography, Radiology and Respiratory Therapy core courses. Specific instructions are posted in https://www.fnu.edu/Publications/Registration_Instructions.pdf fnu.edu Changes to the class schedule can be made only during the ADD/DROP period (first week of the semester). Any changes to the schedule must be approved by the Department/Division Head and a Cancel/Add form must be filled out and turned in to the Registrar’s Office. The Cancel/Add form is available at the Registrar’s Office of each Campus and on the FNU website. Distance Learning students must submit the completed form to the Registrar’s Office via either e-mail ([email protected] or [email protected]) or fax at (305) 362-0595, Attention to: Registrar’s Office. Additional questions about the Distance Learning Department can be emailed to [email protected]. Class schedule changes are subject to class load and availability. The student must check the FNU student portal to ensure that changes are accepted. In order to access or print your class schedule, you must set up an account on the FNU student portal. Instructions are available on the FNU website. A user name and password is required. You will also be able to use the FNU Portal to access other pertinent information. It is the student ‘s responsibility to withdraw, cancel, or change any courses assigned to him/her during the ADD/DROP period. After the ADD/DROP period, no schedule changes will be accepted for the Term B, unless it is an emergency, and the student will be charged for the change $50.00 per change. Approved changes for Term B can only be done by substituting the class with another course carrying the same credit load and by paying the $50.00 fee. Please note that all changes carry a $50.00 fee even if it just a change of session.
CLASSIFICATION OF STUDENTS OR STATUS STUDENTS ARE CLASSIFIED IN VARIOUS WAYS: A. By class load: 1. Full time (12 credit hours minimum per semester) * For Undergraduate Programs 2. Full time (9 credit hours minimum per semester) * For Graduate Programs 3. Three Quarter time (9 credit hours minimum per semester) For Undergraduate Programs 4. Half time (6 credit hours minimum per semester) For both Graduate and Undergraduate Programs 5. Less than halftime (less than 5 credit hours per semester) For both Graduate/Undergraduate Programs * Students receiving full financial aid cannot carry less than six credit hours per semester. Students carrying less than the required minimum number of credits may receive financial aid proportionally.
B. By credits earned: 1. Freshman (1 to 30 credits) 2. Sophomore (31 and above) 3. Junior (61 and above) 4. Senior (91 and above) C. By program of study: 1. Baccalaureate or Associate Degree students 2. Diploma students

3. Certificate students 4. Early Admission 5. Transient students (courses for transference to other institutions) 6. Non-degree seeking students D. By legal status: 1. Florida residents 2. Non-Florida residents 3. International students E. By sponsorship 1. Personal resources 2. Grant 3. Loan 4. Scholarship 5. VA 6. Employee Scholarship 7. ITA 8. Vocational Rehab.
TRANSIENT AND NON-DEGREE-SEEKING STUDENT ADMISSION
A student who is in good standing at another college or university may be admitted to Florida National University as a transient student. Transient students should consult the appropriate Dean or Registrar at the university to which they wish their credits transferred to determine the acceptability of outside credits at their home institution. For classification purposes, employees or family members seeking credits at FNU are also referred to as Transient students. Applicants who are taking a course, but without enrolling in a program, are classified as non-degree seeking students. At Florida National University these students are limited to thirty credits in this classification, and they are not eligible for financial aid.
CLASS LOAD, CREDIT HOUR AND CLOCK HOUR EQUIVALENCY
Class load refers to the number of credits a student carries in a semester. For degree and career programs a student may carry a load of 17 credit hours maximum per semester. One credit hour equals 15 clock hours of lecture, 30 clock hours of Lab., 45 clock hours of externship, or 100 clock hours of pre-clinical or clinical journal. One clock hour is equivalent to 50 minutes of lecture and a 10 - minute break.
Utilizing the definition that an hour of work is the equivalent of 50 minutes of class time (often called a contact hour), the university policy requires at least 45 hours of work by each student for each unit of credit. Contact hours required for specific types of courses are as follows:
At least 15 contact hours of lecture as well as a minimum of 30 hours of student homework are required for each unit of student credit.
Laboratory courses must maintain a minimum of 45 contact hours per unit of credit. Each unit of internship or practicum must require a minimum of 45 hours of work.
Certificate Programs: Since courses within a certificate program are not acceptable for credit toward a degree program within the institution, the conversion formula for certificate programs is as follows: one credit hour equals 30 clock hours of lecture, 30 clock hours of lab., or 30 clock hours of externship.

SATISFACTORY ACADEMIC PROGRESS
All students must meet certain minimum standards for Satisfactory Academic Progress while enrolled at Florida National University (FNU). In order to achieve Satisfactory Academic Progress, a student must satisfy three criteria, each of which is evaluated, on a cumulative basis, at the end of each semester. The three criteria are: Cumulative Grade Point Average (must meet minimum thresholds in table below) Pace of Progression (must successfully complete at least 66.7% of credits attempted) Maximum Time Frame (must complete the program in no more than 150 percent of the normal time frame for completion) GRADE POINT AVERAGE: The grade point average or GPA for a semester is calculated by dividing (a) a number equal to the sum of credit hours for each course attempted during the semester times the quality point value for each grade earned in the course by (b) a number equal to the number of credit hours attempted during the semester (i.e., hours from courses with grades A through F). The cumulative grade point average, or CGPA, is obtained by calculating the GPA for all courses attempted at Florida National University with grades of A through F. Course grades of S, U, I, W, AU, and TC do not count in the overall CGPA since they carry no quality points, but they do count as credits attempted for purposes of determining the Pace of Progression. The minimum CGPA required to maintain SAP varies depending on the program the student is enrolled in and the number of credits the student has attempted, as set forth in the Table below. See the Grading System section for more information. PACE OF PROGRESSION: Pace of Progression is measured by calculating, at the end of each semester, the cumulative number of credits successfully completed (i.e., courses with a grade of A through D) as a percentage of the cumulative number of credits attempted. MAXIMUM TIME FRAME: The maximum time frame for completing a program is equal to 150 percent of the normal time frame for completing the program as measured in credit hours. For example, a full-time student in a baccalaureate program normally would complete the program in four academic years with 120 semester hours. The maximum time frame for such a student to complete the program would be 180 semester hours. The Pace of Progression requirement is intended to ensure that the students are on pace to graduate within the Maximum Time Frame. Maintenance of Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) is a requirement for graduation; it is also necessary in order to maintain eligibility for Title IV financial assistance. FNU evaluates Satisfactory Academic Progress at the end of every semester. Students must continue to meet the minimum SAP standards as measured at the end of each semester, in order to maintain eligibility for financial assistance. The CGPA and Pace of Progression are be based on all periods of enrollment even when the student did not receive Title IV funds. However, should a student change programs at FNU, SAP will be based on all coursework that is applicable to the student’s current degree, diploma, or certificate program of study. If the student does not meet the minimum SAP standards at the end of a semester, the student will be placed on Academic/Financial Aid Warning for the following semester. All students on Academic/Financial Aid Warning will be monitored for SAP again at the end of the semester on Academic Warning. Students who are eligible for Federal student aid funds continue to receive those funds while on Academic Warning. All students on Academic/Financial Aid Warning who meet the minimum SAP standards at the end of the semester will be removed from Academic/Financial Aid Warning. Any student who fails to meet the minimum SAP standards at the end of the semester on Academic/Financial Aid Warning will be considered for dismissal and suspended for the coming semester. The student may appeal the suspension by submitting a written request explaining and documenting why
70
the student failed to achieve SAP, such as the death of a relative, an injury or illness, or other special circumstances, and how circumstances have changed such that the student will be able to achieve SAP at the end of the next semester if permitted to re-enroll. A student requesting an appeal must submit a written request to the Vice President of Academic Affairs and Vice President/Director of Financial Aid. If the appeal is granted, the student may re-enroll and will be placed on Academic/Financial Aid Probation for the coming semester. If eligible for Federal student aid, those funds will continue during the semester on Academic/Financial Aid Probation. All students on Academic/Financial Aid Probation are monitored again for SAP at the end of the semester on Academic/Financial Aid Probation. All such students who satisfy the minimum SAP standards at the end of the semester will be removed from Academic/Financial Aid Probation, and will continue to remain subject to the SAP requirements. All students on Academic/Financial Aid Probation who do not satisfy the SAP requirements at the end of the semester will be dismissed. All financial aid applicants in eligible degree/diploma/certificate programs are evaluated for SAP whether they received financial assistance in prior terms or not. If the student attended FNU in the past and seeks to re-enroll, the student will be reviewed for SAP for financial aid purposes on all previously attempted courses that are applicable to the student’s current program of enrollment regardless of how long ago the student attended FNU or whether or not aid was received. When a student transfers course credits to FNU, transfer credits count as credits attempted and credits earned. The student may modify the initial course schedule up to the last day of the add/drop period with a refund. Classes that are dropped during this time period are not counted as part of the SAP evaluation process. If the student withdraws after the add/drop period, it will negatively affect the Pace of Progression and Maximum Time Frame requirements because the credits will count as credits attempted but not credits earned. If a student repeats a course, the higher grade is used in the CGPA but credits for both courses count as credit hours attempted. If the student changes degree or certificate programs, the SAP calculation will reset to only count those credits that are applicable to the student’s new program of study. Credits that do not count toward the new program of study will not be included in the pace calculation and the related grades will not be included in the CGPA. Remedial credit hours completed are used in Grade Point Average calculations, but not in Pace of Progression, and Maximum Time Frame calculations.

ATTENDANCE POLICY
The policy on attendance for university classes will be the responsibility of the professor, and the professor will fully inform students of such policy at the beginning of the semester. The faculty and staff at Florida National University want you to succeed. Since studies indicate a positive relationship between good attendance and better grades, you are strongly encouraged to attend all classes and arrive on time. * Individual instructors establish their own class attendance policies. Each instructor’s policy is included in the course syllabus and distributed at the beginning of each semester. * It is your responsibility to understand and follow these policies and, if possible, to notify instructors in advance when it is necessary to miss a class. * Any anticipated prolonged absences should be reported to instructors as soon as possible. * If you stop attending class (es) for any reason, you must consult with your instructor(s) and registrar about possible withdrawal from the class (es).
72
VETERAN’S ATTENDANCE POLICY
Early departures, class cuts, tardies, etc., for any portion of a class period will be counted as 1 absence. Students exceeding 20 % total absences in a calendar month will be terminated from their VA
benefits for unsatisfactory attendance.
In order to show that the cause of unsatisfactory attendance has been removed, students must show
good attendance (as defined) for one calendar month after being terminated for unsatisfactory attendance.
After such time, the student may be recertified for VA education benefits.
The student's attendance record will be retained in the veteran's file for USDVA and SAA audit purposes.
LEAVE OF ABSENCE
Any student requesting a leave of absence (LOA) from the institution must submit a written request to the Registrar‘s Office. The LOA request form is located at the Registrar’s Office of every campus or can be downloaded from the FNU website. Distance Learning students must submit the completed form to the Registrar’s Office via either e-mail ([email protected] or [email protected]) or fax at (305) 362 0595, Attention to: Registrar’s Office. Additional questions about the Distance Learning Department can be emailed to [email protected]. The Leave of Absence must be requested ONLY during the ADD/DROP period. The request needs to be signed and dated by the student and must include the date student expects to return to school. The request must be approved by the campus registrar and a financial aid officer. Federal regulations allow an approved leave of absence of no more than 180 days. There are no exceptions. Multiple leave of absences can be granted not exceeding 180 days. An LOA extends the graduation date. Students on LOA will normally not be able to maintain their course sequencing. A student on leave of absence will not incur additional charges by the school during this period, though monthly payments must continue during the LOA. If the student does not report back to FNU by the add/drop period of the following semester, the student will be considered to have withdrawn from school as of the first day of the new semester. The University has thirty days after the last day of an approved leave of absence to process financial assistance refunds to grantors. By official regulation, international students may use a leave of absence (LOA) only after completion of one academic year (8 months).
STANDARD PERIOD OF NON-ENROLLMENT
Students enrolled in Certificate Programs, and planning to be out of FNU for one term (two months), must submit a written request for a Standard Period of Non-Enrollment to the Registrar‘s Office. The SPNE request form is located in the Registrar’s Office or can be downloaded from the FNU website. SPNE’s are usually approved for one term (two months) per semester. However, during the summer semester, a student can request it for four months (one semester). A Standard Period of Non-Enrollment must be requested prior to the start of the term or during the first week of classes of the term the student is planning to be away from FNU.
73
After the ADD/DROP period, no SPNE requests are granted. Students will receive a “W” for that term once that SPNE is approved. If the SPNE is only for one term (two months), the student’s remaining schedule of courses will remain the same. The request must be authorized by the Campus Registrar and the Financial Aid officer. Students must report to the Registrar‘s Office by the date indicated on the Standard Period of Non- Enrollment form. Students who fail to return to the University by the expected date will be considered to have withdrawn from the school, and the student will therefore be responsible for any balance due. An SPNE extends a student’s graduation date. Students on SPNE may not be able to maintain their course sequencing.
RE-ENROLLMENT / READMISSION
Typically, a Re-Enrollment is a student who withdrew and requests enrollment in another program and Readmission is for students who withdrew and desire to return to the same program within five years. In both cases students must satisfy the readmission procedures as follows:
1. The student who withdrew with a CGPA of 2.0 or better and a clear balance will resume his/her studies following regular admission procedures.
2. The student who was terminated because of academic probation or lack of attendance and
has two consecutive semesters with a GPA under 2.0 can’t be considered for Re-Enrollment or Readmission unless the student requests a waiver of the Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy. The following process will apply:
a) A student who has been dropped or suspended because of inability to maintain a CGPA of
2.0 may reapply to Florida National University after being out of school for a minimum of one term. At that time, the student’s academic records will be evaluated to determine if it is possible for a 2.0 cumulative grade point average to be achieved and if the program can be completed within the maximum time frame of 1.5 time of the normal time frame for completion. If it is not possible for the student to meet both standards, the student will no longer be eligible for Title IV funds.
b) Additionally, Florida National University may use its discretion in waiving its Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy in cases where students have mitigating circumstances. Students requesting an appeal must submit a written request, with appropriate documentation, to the Vice President of Academic Affairs and the Vice President/Director of Financial Aid. If the appeal is approved, the student will be allowed one additional semester to meet the required standards and will be eligible for Title IV funds.
3. The student who was terminated because of inability to fulfill costs will have to pay the complete
balance before classes start.
4. The student who was terminated because of serious violations of FNU rules may not reapply at FNU
for admission. Additionally, Florida National University reserves the right to reject the application request of any student who comes from any other institution where the student has lost ― “Good Standing” status. Students that decide to continue onto a different program once a program has been completed, are not considered re-entry nor re-enrollments.
74

BUS PASSES
Students who do not own a vehicle and use public transportation should consider purchasing a monthly Metro Transit Bus Pass. This pass allows unlimited use for an entire month of the Metrorail and Metro Dade Bus System. For prices and payment deadlines, contact the Office of Student Services.
ACADEMIC GRADING SYSTEM AND TRANSCRIPT CODE KEY
Official grades and their quality points equivalency at FNU are as shown on the table below. The final grade of a course shall be based on various criteria; however, the individual instructor establishes the weight of each assignment for determining the final grade and this information is given in the course syllabus of which every student shall receive a copy.
FAILURE (F)
An “F” is a grade; it counts for the GPA. It alters the completion date of the program; it also increases the student’s financial burden. An “F” may not be erased, but the course can be repeated to improve the GPA. The latest grade for the course prevails. A student may continue to receive federal financial aid for any course failed as long as the student is otherwise eligible. In the Associate of Science in Nursing Program and the Associate of Science in Physical Therapist Assistant, the lowest acceptable grade is an 80% (B). Anything below an 80% is considered failure.
81
INCOMPLETE (I)
Use of this grade is very restricted and only on the basis of extenuating circumstances in the judgment of the instructor. When a student is not able to complete the course requirements within the length of the course for reasons acceptable to the instructor, the instructor may assign an “Incomplete” on terms specified by the instructor. An “I” is valid for only one TERM; after this it becomes an “F.” During the waiting period, an “I” is listed as credit hours attempted, but not completed. The instructor will prepare a modified final exam or an appropriate assignment and leave it in a sealed envelope with the department head or division head. The department head or division head or an instructor designated by them will proctor and score the exam in accordance with FNU policy. The same will apply to written papers waiting to be graded as part of a final grade.
The instructor may calculate the course average by using “0” for each of the components of the final grade that has not been satisfied. (The course syllabus will list the components of the final grade for that course, or the instructor will otherwise stipulate these).
WITHDRAWALS (WP, WF, WU, WML)
Students desiring to withdraw formally from a class may do so within the add-drop period without penalty. A reduction in course load may keep the student from meeting minimum standards for satisfactory progress. Course withdrawals may also jeopardize the student’s financial aid eligibility, VA benefits, and program completion date.
The ADD/DROP period is the first week of the semester (TERM A) ending Thursday of that week.
During this time, you are able to add, change, or cancel classes, by following the procedure established. Classes withdrawn within this period will receive be unregistered from the student load. Requests to change, add or cancel classes must be made in writing by means of the Cancel/Add form or the Class Change form found on the FNU website or at the Registrar’s Office. Any changes to your schedule must be approved by your Department/Division Head and a Cancel/Add form or Class Change form must be completed, signed, and turned into the Registrar’s Office. Distance Learning students must submit the completed form(s) to the Registrar’s Office via either e-mail ([email protected] or [email protected]) or fax at (305) 362-0595, Attention to: Registrar’s Office. Additional questions about the Distance Learning Department can be emailed to [email protected]. No schedule changes will be accepted for the semester during Term B unless it is an emergency, and you will be charged for the change. For changes approved after the ADD/DROP period, the student will be charged $50.00 per change. If a student wants to change a class during Term B, it can only be done by substituting the class with another course carrying the same credit load and by paying the $50.00 fee. Please note that all changes carry a $50.00 fee even if it just a change of session. Students starting in the University in Term B of the semester will be able to ADD/CHANGE classes during the first week of this term (until Thursday of that week).
Late Withdrawal: Any withdrawal after the Add-drop period incurs full financial obligation. The student will receive a “WP” if the withdrawal is made between the second week of classes up to the mid-term. “WP” does not affect GPA. “WF” is assigned after the midterm, when the student does not complete the course requirements. “WF affects GPA. “WU” is assigned after the midterm, when the student does not complete the course requirements for remedial courses. “WU" does not affect GPA.
82
WITHDRAWAL FROM THE UNIVERSITY
In order to officially withdraw from the University, the students must fill out a Withdrawal Form. This form is available at the Registrar’s Office or can be downloaded from the FNU website. It must be completely filled out and submitted to the Registrar’s Office. Distance Learning students must submit the completed form to the Registrar’s Office via either e-mail ([email protected] or [email protected]) or fax at (305) 362 0595, Attention to: Registrar’s Office. Additional questions about the Distance Learning Department can be emailed to [email protected]. It is common practice for the student to meet with the Advising Office and his/her career advisor (Department or Division Head) before processing a withdrawal. No withdrawal will be official until the student receives an acknowledgement from the Registrar’s Office. Any withdrawal after the ADD/DROP period is subject to financial implications.
AUDIT (AU)
The student who audits attends a course without expecting credit or formal recognition. The campus dean and the instructor must grant permission for the student to audit the course.
TRANSFERRED CREDIT (TC)
Credit for external or internal transferability is granted for grades of “C” or better. College courses completed more than five years prior to the date of enrollment at FNU will require validation. A student who wishes to change from one program to another should consult with (a) the Division Head, faculty advisor, or Campus Dean, (b) the registrar, (c) the financial aid advisor in order to become fully aware of the best possible use of credits earned, of allocated monies, of necessary changes in the enrollment application, and of any other possible implication. All courses that can be transferred to the new program, as either part of the required block or as electives, will be reflected in the student’s ledger, in the student’s transcripts, and in the Summary Sheet in the Academic File.
The grade of "D" shall transfer and count toward a degree program only for FNU students and/or graduates of an AA or AS. Whether courses with "D" grades in the major satisfy requirements in the major field may be decided by the department or division.
Grade point averages are not transferred; but courses transferred will appear on the student’s transcripts with their respective/earned grades.
All transfer of credit must be made effective at the time of registration or within the student’s first semester of enrollment.
EXPERENTIAL LEARNING CREDITS Experiential learning credits may be transferred to satisfy course requirements. Any experiential learning credit that a student receives will appear on their official transcript and will show that a degree requirement has been met. The maximum number of credits earned by examination will be fifteen (15). The credit will be marked as TC and will specify the equivalent course code and name. Credit is awarded based on measurable course learning outcomes presented through a portfolio.
83
CREDIT BY EXAMINATION (CE)
Students may receive credit by examination. The Campus Dean will evaluate each case, and the appropriate academic department will proctor and score the exams. The student will be graded “S” if scoring 70% or better, otherwise “U”. The result of this exam cannot be challenged again. Application forms are available from the Registrar. Institutional credit by examination will become a part of the student’s permanent record at the conclusion of the semester in which it is awarded; grades will count toward graduation requirements and they will be entered with a CE on the student’s transcripts. A fee per credit hour will be charged for each examination administered. The maximum number of credits earned by examination will be nine (9). Please be advised that the Federal Pell Grant does not cover credit by examination, just credits earned on the basis of regular class attendance. This process will be documented in the Academic Summary Sheet inside the student’s academic file. Credit by examination may not be used to eliminate an “F” or “I” grade.
SPECIAL INDIVIDUALIZED STUDIES (SIS)
A special study is offered only in certain circumstances. They are conducted in a hybrid method or administered online by the Department or Division Head. Degree-seeking students are allowed to take a maximum of six credits in special individualized studies, supported by a cumulative grade point average of 3.0 GPA. The VP of Academic Affairs and the campus Dean will give approval for such studies. After this, SIS students are under the supervision and taught by the Department Head or Division Head.
ESL placement BY TESTING
Upon enrollment, the ESL program uses a placement test for new students, and they are placed in the corresponding level according to their performance (score) on this test. There is no fee for the placement test.
REPEATING COURSES
Students may repeat courses taken at Florida National University in order to improve the cumulative grade point average. The credit is given for the last grade earned when repeating a course. Repeated courses will appear on the student’s transcript. The first attempt will also be shown, but the cumulative grade point average will be computed on the basis of the last attempt only. In the case of repeating a course to improve the GPA, tuition fees will be entirely the student’s responsibility. In the evaluation of satisfactory progress, in addition to the minimum credits earned and grade point average each time they are taken, repeated courses will be counted as credits attempted. When successfully completed, they will count as credits earned. A student failing a course may still be eligible for financial aid upon repeating it. The student will seek advice at the Financial Aid office.
CHANGING A MAJOR OR PROGRAM
A student who wishes to change from one program to another will be thoroughly advised by (a) the registrar (b) the financial aid officer, and (c) the departmental faculties involved for the purpose of making the student fully aware of the best possible use of credits earned, of allocated monies, of necessary changes in the enrollment application, and any other possible implication. All courses taken that can be transferred to the new program, as either required courses or as electives, will be reflected in the student’s ledger, in the student’s transcripts, and in the Summary Sheet in the student’s academic file.
84
STANDARDS OF ACADEMIC PROGRESS FOR VA STUDENTS
Students receiving VA educational benefits must maintain a minimum cumulative grade point average (CGPA) of 2.0 each semester. A VA student whose CGPA falls below 2.0 at the end of any semester will be placed on academic warning for a maximum of two consecutive terms of enrollment. If the VA student’s CGPA is still below 2.0 at the end of the second consecutive term on warning, the student’s VA educational benefits will be terminated. A VA student terminated from VA educational benefits due to unsatisfactory progress may petition the school to be recertified after attaining a CGPA of 2.0.
SYLLABUS
Instructors will write their own syllabi, modeled after the institutional syllabi. The syllabus will present information on class schedule, number of sessions, holidays, course description (quoted from the FNU Catalog), textbook, course requirements, objectives, course outline, required assignments, class policies, grading system, and exit competencies. Instructors are encouraged to bring in guest lecturers, arrange for field trips, and promote library skills by means of library assignments.

LOCKDOWN PROCEDURES
In the event of a police action, such as an "Active Shooter," it may be necessary to "lockdown" the campus to limit access, protect lives and minimize the overall exposure to danger.
A "lockdown" is a temporary sheltering technique, usually lasting from 30 minutes to several hours, used by law enforcement to limit civilian exposure to an "Active Shooter" or a similar incident. When alerted, occupants of any building within the subject area will lock all doors and windows. Do not allow entry or exit to anyone until the "all clear" has been sounded. This procedure converts any building into a large "safe room." The Campus Dean or his/her designee evaluates the situation and takes immediate action to protect life and property. Other University administrators are notified as soon as the situation allows. Students, faculty and staff are alerted via rave, bullhorns, telephones, in-person notification, and/or the University public-address system. TAKE ACTION If you encounter an intruder who is causing harm or threatening imminent harm to people, seek cover immediately and call 911 (police). Provide as many details as possible, such as location, number of assailants, weapons and any other information you believe will be useful. LOCKDOWN INSTRUCTIONS Never sound the fire alarm to evacuate the building, as everyone should remain inside. If a fire
alarm goes off during a lockdown, do not evacuate unless you smell smoke. Be aware of alternate exits if it becomes necessary to flee. Lock yourself in a classroom, resident
room, office, etc., as a means of protection. Stay low and away from windows. Barricade door(s) if possible and use furniture or desks as cover. Cover windows or other openings that allow a direct line of sight into the hallway. Shut the blinds or pull the shades down. Turn the lights off and remain silent. Try to give the impression
that the room is empty. Silence cell phones. Turn off the vibrate function. Do not attempt to leave the building until told to do so by security or police personnel. If you are outside when a lockdown is announced, enter the nearest building and follow the lockdown
instructions above. If you cannot safely enter a building, hide behind a large heavy object (i.e., vehicle or tree) or run away from the hostile activity.
If you encounter an active shooter - Get Out, Call 911 and Hide Move quickly - don’t wait for others to validate your decision. Leave belongings behind. Survival chances increase the farther you are from the shooter. Call 911 and give the operator as much information as possible, including the location, a description of
the shooter (and name if known) and the number and type of weapons being used. Do not hang up until told to do so. Hide Out
If unable to get out because the shooter is between you and the only exit, hide. Try to find a place that is well protected. Avoid places that might trap you or restrict movement. Find a room that can be locked with objects to hide behind. Barricade door with heavy furniture. Turn out lights and remain silent. Silence any device that may create a noise (i.e., cell phones, iPads, etc.).
89
If there are two or more of you, DO NOT huddle together. It gives you options and makes it harder for the shooter.
Quietly develop a plan of action in the event the shooter enters. Remain calm. To keep others focused on survival. Assume shooter’s intentions are lethal. Attempt only if you believe the shooter will kill or continue killing unless you intervene. Develop a mindset that you have “what it takes” to survive when your life is on the line. Be prepared to do whatever it takes to neutralize the threat. Throw things, create a distraction or use improvised weapons. Make a plan to overcome the shooter if you see it as the only option.
IDENTIFICATION CARDS POLICY
All persons entering the University premises must display an identification card issued by Florida National University. The identification card is needed for the use of University facilities and services and for voting in Student Government elections. University ID may be worn only by the person whose name appears on the ID. Intentional misuse or alteration of the ID is prohibited.

Conduct is unwelcome if the complainant did not request or invite it and regarded the conduct as undesirable or offensive; acquiescence in the conduct or failure to complain does not always mean that the conduct was welcome. Sexual harassment can include unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, other verbal, nonverbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature or with sexual overtones, and gender-based harassment based on sex or sex-stereotyping. SEXUAL VIOLENCE: Sexual violence includes dating violence, domestic violence, sexual assault, and stalking. DATING VIOLENCE: Dating violence is violence committed by a person who is or has been in a social relationship of a romantic or intimate nature with the victim. Dating violence includes, but is not limited to, sexual or physical abuse or the threat of such abuse. Dating violence does not include acts covered under the definition of domestic violence. DOMESTIC VIOLENCE: Domestic violence is a felony or misdemeanor crime of violence committed 1) by a current or former spouse or intimate partner of the victim; 2) by a person with whom the victim shares a child in common; 3) by a person who is cohabitating with, or has cohabitated with, the victim as a spouse or intimate partner; 4) by a person similarly situated to a spouse of the victim under the domestic or family violence laws of the jurisdiction in which the crime of violence occurred, or 5) by any other person against an adult or youth victim who is protected from that person’s acts under the domestic or family violence laws of the jurisdiction in which the crime of violence occurred. The State of Florida defines domestic violence as any assault, aggravated assault, battery, aggravated battery, sexual assault, sexual battery, stalking, aggravated stalking, kidnapping, false imprisonment, or any criminal offense resulting in physical injury or death of one family or household member by another family or household member. “Family or household member” means spouses, former spouses, persons related by blood or marriage, persons who are presently residing together as if a family or who have resided together in the past as if a family, and persons who are parents of a child in common regardless of whether they have been married. With the exception of persons who have a child in common, the family or household members must be currently residing or have in the past resided together in the same single dwelling unit. See Fla. Stat. § 741.28. SEXUAL ASSAULT: Sexual assault is any sexual act directed against another person, without consent of the victim, including instances where the victim is incapable of giving consent that meets the definition of rape, fondling, incest, or statutory rape. Rape is the penetration, no matter how slight, of the vagina or anus, with any body part or object, or oral penetration by a sex organ of another person, without the consent of the victim. This offense includes the rape of both males and females. Fondling is the touching of the private body parts of another person for the purpose of sexual gratification, without the consent of the victim, including instances where the victim is incapable of giving consent because of his/her age or because of his/her temporary or permanent mental incapacity. Incest is sexual intercourse between persons who are related to each other within the degrees wherein marriage is prohibited by law.
91
Statutory Rape is sexual intercourse with a person who is under the statutory age of consent. Florida statutory rape law is violated when a person has consensual sexual intercourse with an individual under age 18. However, there is an exemption for individuals close in age, which allows a person no older than age 23 to engage in consensual sexual intercourse with minors aged 16 or 17. STALKING: Stalking means engaging in a course of conduct directed at a specific person that would cause a reasonable person to 1) fear for the person’s safety or the safety of others or 2) suffer substantial emotional distress. Course of conduct means two or more acts, including, but not limited to, acts in which the stalker directly, indirectly, or through third parties, by any action, method, device, or means, follows, monitors, observes, surveils, threatens, or communicates to or about a person, or interferes with a person’s property. Reasonable person means a reasonable person under similar circumstances and with similar identities to the victim. Substantial emotional distress means significant mental suffering or anguish that may, but does not necessarily, require medical or other professional treatment or counseling. CONSENT: Consent means a clear, unambiguous, and voluntary agreement between the parties engaging in specific sexual activity. A person is incapable of consent when he or she is: 1) mentally disabled; mentally incapacitated; 3) physically helpless or incapacitated; or 4) under threat, coercion or force. The State of Florida defines consent as intelligent, knowing, and voluntary consent, which does not include coerced submission. “Consent” shall not be deemed or construed to mean the failure by the alleged victim to offer physical resistance to the offender. Among other things, the State of Florida does not consider a victim to be able to consent if the victim is mentally defective, physically incapacitated, or has been administered any narcotic, anesthetic or other intoxicating substance that mentally or physically incapacitates the victim. See Fla. Stat. § 794.011. Examples of Sexual Harassment The following are examples of behavior may create a hostile environment and could be considered sexual harassment prohibited by Title IX: Requests or demands for sexual favors Unwelcome sexual advances, including touching, kissing, hugging, or massaging Non-consensual sexual activity (where the victim does not consent or is incapable of giving consent) Violence between intimate partners Unnecessary and unwelcome references to various parts of the body Unwelcome statements or conduct related to a person's gender, actual or perceived sex, gender identity, or nonconformity with sex or gender stereotypes Reoccurring inappropriate or derogatory sexual innuendoes or humor Videotaping and photographing activity of a sexual or personal nature without consent of those being recorded Obscene gestures or nonverbal communication of a sexual or gender-based nature Sexually explicit profanity Use of email, the Internet, text messaging, or other forms of digital media to facilitate any of the above referenced behaviors Sexual Harassment Prohibited by Title IX Sexual harassment that creates a hostile environment by interfering with, denying or limiting a student’s ability to participate in or benefit from the school’s program on the basis of sex is prohibited by Title IX. FNU will consider the following factors in determining whether sexual harassment creates a hostile environment: The degree to which the conduct affects one or more students’ education;
92
The type, frequency, and duration of the conduct; The identity of and relationship between the respondent and the complainant: The number of individuals involved; The location of the incidents and the context in which they occurred; and Other incidents at the school. This includes quid pro quo sexual harassment, where such advances or requests are made under circumstances implying that one’s response or submission to unwanted sexual conduct might affect educational or personnel decisions that are subject to the influence of the person making the proposal. For example, quid pro quo sexual harassment occurs when submission to sexual harassment is made, either explicitly or implicitly, a term or condition of instruction, employment, or participation in other College activities. Florida National University believes that any form of sexual harassment can have a devastating effect upon the people involved and such behavior will not be tolerated. Prompt action will be taken to protect the complainant, investigate the charges, and if warranted, discipline the violator. Such action may include suspension or dismissal. Sexual Violence Prevention and Response The University educates the student community about sexual violence prevention through the Office of Student Services. The Office of Student Services provides educational materials and conducts prevention and awareness programs for students to promote awareness of, and to prevent sexual violence. Such materials and programs educate students regarding prohibited sexual violence (including relevant definitions), the definition of consent in the state of Florida, safe and positive options for bystander intervention, risk reduction to recognize warning signs of abusive behavior and how to avoid potential attacks, and the University’s response to sexual violence (including the complaint procedures and possible sanctions and protective measures). If you are a victim of sexual violence, first seek safety and then immediate medical attention. The University strongly encourages any victim of sexual violence to report the incident in a timely manner. Time is a critical factor for collecting and preserving of evidence. (Ideally, a victim of sexual violence should not wash, douche, use the restroom, or change clothes prior to a medical examination at a hospital.) The University encourages students to report incidents of sexual violence to the local police department by dialing 911 and to report the incident to the Campus Dean or Title IX Coordinators (who can also assist you with the reporting of an act of sexual violence to the police). The University also strongly advises victims of sexual violence to seek counseling. Local organizations that specialize in crises counseling include: RAINN-Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network (800) 656-4673
Victims of Crimes Services (305) 230-6141
Opa Locka Domestic Police -Violence Intervention Unit (305) 953-2838
Baptist Health-Women’s Health Center Procedures for Filing a Sexual Harassment Complaint
(786) 596-5981
Any member of the University community who believes that he or she has been a victim of sexual harassment (the complainant) by a student, a University employee or a third party may bring the matter to the attention of the Title IX Coordinator or Deputy Coordinators (collectively, the “Title IX Coordinators”). The complainant may also report these matters to either of the following employees: Campus Dean. Associate Dean, Assistant Dean, Vice President of Academic Affairs, Student Services Director, Student
93
Services Officer, Student Services Assistant, Athletic Director or Assistant Athletic Director. It is the responsibility of that individual to file the report with one of the Title IX Coordinators. The complainant should present the complaint as promptly as possible after the alleged harassment occurs using the Title IX Grievance Form which is available online at https://www.fnu.edu/wp- content/uploads/2011/11/Title-IX-Grievance-Form.pdf or from the Office of Student Services or the Title IX Coordinators. Grievance Forms should be submitted directly to one of the Title IX Coordinators or the Director of Student Services. Complainants are encouraged to file complaints promptly because the passage of time typically makes it more difficult to conduct an investigation. Further, it is easier to commence legal proceedings (both civil and criminal) against the accused if the reports are made promptly. If the complainant decides to proceed with a formal complaint, the complainant should submit a written statement to one of the Title IX Coordinators. FNU’s Title IX Coordinator will investigate all student complaints of sexual harassment. The Title IX Coordinator will inform the alleged offender (respondent) of the allegation, the identity of the complainant, the alleged violation of the University’s policies, and the date and location of the alleged incident(s). A written statement of the complaint will be given to both parties. Exceptions can be made when confidentiality is requested by the complainant, as described below. Cases involving sexual harassment are particularly sensitive and demand special attention to issues of confidentiality. Dissemination of information relating to the case will be limited in order that the privacy of all individuals involved is safeguarded as fully as possible. Retaliation against the complainant is prohibited. Every effort will be made to protect the complainant from retaliatory action. Resolution of the Complaint The University will promptly take steps to ensure that the complainant and the respondent have equal access to the University’s educational programs and activities and to protect the complainant and the respondent as necessary, including taking interim measures before the outcome of an investigation. Interim measures are determined on a case-by-case basis and may include counseling, schedule accommodations, academic accommodations, no-contact directives, stay-away letters/campus bans, escorts, limitations on extracurricular or athletic activities, and leaves of absence. When implementing interim measures, the University will make every effort to avoid depriving any student of his or her education. Reports of alleged Title IX incidents will be investigated in a thorough, impartial, and prompt fashion. The Title IX Coordinator will oversee the collecting of facts related to any reported Title IX incident and will assess whether a further review or investigation is necessary. The Title IX Coordinator will notify and interview complainants, respondents, and witnesses. At the conclusion of the investigation, the Title IX Coordinator will prepare a written report summarizing the relevant exculpatory and inculpatory evidence. Directly following the conclusion of the investigation, the Title IX Coordinator will determine whether reasonable cause exists to believe that a policy violation occurred. If such reasonable cause exists and the respondent is a student, the Title IX Coordinator will notify University administrators and determine whether to pursue an informal or formal resolution, as described below. Where the respondent is a faculty or staff member, the Title IX Coordinator will refer the results of the investigation to the Human Resources Department and the University administrators for appropriate action. The Title IX Coordinator will be kept informed of the outcome of the investigation regarding a faculty or staff member and will notify the complainant, as appropriate, of the outcome, including any accommodations the University will provide to the complainant.
94
If reasonable cause exists to believe that a policy violation occurred, the Title IX Coordinator believes it is appropriate given the circumstances of the complaint to engage in an informal resolution process, and all parties voluntarily agree to participate in such a process, the Title IX Coordinator will initiate whatever steps he or she deems appropriate to affect an informal resolution of the complaint acceptable to both parties. The complainant or respondent may request to end the informal process at any time to begin the formal stage of the complaint process. If unsatisfied with the informal resolution proposed by the Title IX Coordinator, the complainant or respondent should write a written request to the Title IX Coordinator with his or her opinions and suggestions, including any request to appear before the Honor Court. If reasonable cause exists to believe that a policy violation occurred and the Title IX Coordinator believes that an informal resolution process is not appropriate based on the nature of the violation, or one or more of the parties requests access to the formal stage of the complaint process, the complaint and the results of the investigation will be forwarded to the Honor Court. Unless the Honor Court concludes that the complaint is without merit, the parties to the dispute should be invited to appear before the Honor Court, present any witnesses and evidence, and confront any adverse witnesses. The Honor Court may conduct its own informal inquiry, call witnesses, and gather whatever information it deems necessary to assist it in reaching a determination as to the merits of the allegations. The parties will be given adequate notice of any hearing before the Honor Court and will be offered equal and meaningful access to information used during the hearing, including the Title IX Coordinator’s report. The parties will also have the opportunity to provide written responses to the Title IX Coordinator’s report. The parties may be accompanied at the Honor Court hearing by the advisor of their choice. The advisor may not participate in the hearing, beyond providing guidance to the party being represented. The Honor Court will make findings of fact and conclusions as to whether the facts support a finding of responsibility for violation of the school’s policies using a clear and convincing evidence standard. Thus, the Honor Court must determine whether it is more probable than not that the conduct occurred. If the Honor Court determines that it is more probable than not that the conduct occurred, it should recommend sanctions against the respondent and any additional accommodations for the complainant. The Title IX Coordinator should forward the recommendation immediately to one of the campus deans. The campus dean shall proceed in the manner set forth by the university’s rules and procedures, except that the need for a preliminary review will be precluded. The Honor Court can recommend the following sanctions if it finds that a student has violated this policy: Suspension, Expulsion, Loss of University Scholarship. The Honor Court can recommend the following accommodations for the complainant: classroom adjustments or changes, academic support (tutoring, mentoring, flexible assignment due dates, allowing the student to make up coursework), allowing the student to retake a course and/or withdraw without penalty, counseling services and protective/no contact orders. Florida National University seeks to resolve all Title IX reports within sixty (60) days but more complex investigations may require additional time, especially if the matter is brought before the Honor Court. The Title IX Coordinator will notify the complainant and the respondent in writing of the results of the investigation including a summary of the basis for the determination and the actions that will be taken. Confidentiality The Title IX Coordinator is required to investigate any report of alleged sex and gender based misconduct and to ensure measures are taken to stop adverse behavior and prevent its recurrence, as appropriate.
95
Each report is reviewed individually and it is important to note that not every report leads to a disciplinary process. A student can request confidentiality after making a Title IX report. For example, a complainant may request that his or her name not be disclosed or that an investigation not be conducted regarding the alleged harassment. If the complainant requests confidentiality, the Title IX Coordinator will take all reasonable steps to investigate and respond to the complaint consistent with the student’s request. The University will evaluate any confidentiality requests in the context of its responsibility to provide a safe and nondiscriminatory environment for all students. For example, if there have been other similar accusations against the same respondent such that the University is concerned about the safety of its students, the University may not be able to respect a request for confidentiality. If the University can honor the complainant’s request for confidentiality, the Title IX Coordinator’s ability to investigate the incident could be limited. For example, the University cannot take disciplinary action against the respondent if the complainant requests that his or her name not be revealed. Even when confidentiality is not requested, the University makes every effort to protect the privacy of all individuals involved in such reporting or investigation, yet it cannot always be guaranteed depending on the nature of the incident. Any alleged incidents of sexual violence must be reported to the Office of Student Services so they may be included in the University’s crime log and the annual security report. Crimes of sexual violence can be reported without disclosing either party’s name or any other information that would identify the parties. Complaints involving students are protected under the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) but may be disclosed for legitimate educational purposes within the University. To disclose the information outside of the University, any affected students would have to give explicit permission for the information to be shared through the Disclosure of Information Form available at the FNU Publications webpage and at the Office of the Registrar, except as described below. Under FERPA the University does not need student consent to: disclose to the complainant information about the sanction imposed upon a student respondent who was found to have engaged in harassment when the sanction directly relates to the complainant; disclose to the complainant the final results of a disciplinary proceeding against the respondent, regardless of whether the University concluded that a violation was committed, when the conduct involves a crime of violence or a non-forcible sex offense; and disclose to anyone—not just the complainant—the final results of a disciplinary proceeding if it determines that the student respondent is an alleged perpetrator of a crime of violence or a non-forcible sex offense, and, with respect to the allegation made, the student has committed a violation of the institution’s rules or policies. Medical records are confidential and medical and health professionals are required to maintain confidentiality with regard to the patient’s information. Retaliation Retaliation is prohibited under Title IX against any person who in good faith makes a complaint of sex discrimination, harassment, sexual violence, sexual misconduct, or participates as a witness in a Title IX investigation. The University, the respondent, and the respondent’s associates may not retaliate against an individual for bringing a complaint or for participating in an investigation. The University will take steps to prevent retaliation against a complainant by the respondent or his or her associates.

ACCESSIBILITY TO STUDENT RECORDS AND THE PRIVACY ACT
Florida National University does not release student record information, except as permitted under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974. The students’ educational records are confidential. A student who is eighteen years old or any student enrolled in a post-secondary program must provide one of the following: (a) written consent to release information to his/her parents, or (b) parental evidence that said student is a dependent of the parents as defined in Section 152 of the Internal Revenue Code, 1954. The parents no longer have any rights under the Code unless these requirements are met. Other parties will not be able to receive information without the written consent of the student. The student has a right to be informed of any request for information concerning his/her files, according to Statute 20, United States Code, section 123g and regulations adopted pursuant thereto (and thereafter referred to as Code). A copy of the entire Code can be obtained in the Office of the Director of Student Services or at any Campus Dean’s office. Under the Code, FNU has established a classification of student information referred to as “directory information.” This “directory information” will be made available to persons on request based on availability of access. Florida National University has established the following data as “directory information.” 1. Student’s full name 4. Participation in student organizations 2. Sex 5. Dates of attendance (start and withdrawal dates) 3. Career major 6. Degree and awards received Other information will only be available to the student and certain staff members of FNU who need it for completing their work in regards to the student, and otherwise only to parents or guardian. Such data includes: 1. Health and medical records 4. Student or family financial income 2. Disciplinary records 5. Student placement records 3. Personal counseling records 6. Other personal, identifiable information The Records Custodian of Florida National University may release information from these records only upon authorization in writing from the student or in case of subpoena by the court or when needed by the President of FNU in completing his official responsibilities within the limits of the law when mandated by state board regulations, or board policies. The student has the right, upon informing the Registrar’s Office in writing, to withhold personal directory information from publication or release.

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 (SCNS). This numbering system is used by all public postsecondary institutions in Florida and by participating nonpublic institutions. The major purpose of this system is to facilitate the transfer of courses between participating institutions. Students and administrators can use the online SCNS to obtain course descriptions and specific information about course transfer between participating Florida institutions. This information is at the SCNS website at http://scns.fldoe.org. Each participating institution controls the title, credit, and content of its 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 a meaning in the SCNS. The listing of prefixes and associated courses is referred to as the “SCNS taxonomy.” Descriptions of the content of courses are referred to as “statewide course profiles.”
Example of Course Identifier Prefix Level Code Century Digit Decade Digit Unit Digit Lab Code
(first digit) (second digit) (third digit) (fourth digit)
ENC 1 1 0 1
English Lower (Freshman)
Freshman Freshman Freshman No laboratory
Composition Level at this Composition Composition Composition component in
institution Skills Skills I this course
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 participating institutions that offer the course, with a few exceptions, as listed below in Exceptions to the General Rule for Equivalency. For example, a freshman composition skills course is offered by 84 different public and nonpublic postsecondary institutions. Each institution uses “ENC_101” to identify its freshman composition skills course. The level code is the first digit and represents the year in which students normally take the course at a specific institution. In the SCNS taxonomy, “ENC” means “English Composition,” the century digit “1” represents “Freshman Composition,” the decade digit “0” represents “Freshman Composition Skills,” and the unit digit “1” represents “Freshman Composition Skills I.” In the sciences and certain 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 that has the same prefix and course number but meets at a different time or place. Transfer of any successfully completed course from one participating 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, ENC 1101 is offered at a community college. The same course is offered at a state university as ENC 2101. A student who has successfully completed ENC 1101 at a Florida College System institution is guaranteed to receive transfer credit for ENC 2101 at the state
99
university if the student transfers. The student cannot be required to take ENC 2101 again since ENC 1101 is equivalent to ENC 2101. 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 the native students. It is the prerogative of the receiving institution, however, to offer transfer credit for courses successfully completed that have not been designated as equivalent. NOTE: Credit generated at institutions on the quarter-term system may not transfer the equivalent number of credits to institutions on the semester-term system. For example, 4.0 quarter hours often transfers as 2.67 semester hours.
The Course Prefix The course prefix is a three-letter designator for a major division of an academic discipline, subject matter area, or subcategory 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 to identify the course.
Authority for Acceptance of Equivalent Courses Section 1007.24(7), Florida Statutes, states:
Any student who 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 statewide course numbering system shall be awarded credit by the receiving institution for courses satisfactorily completed by the student at the previous institutions. Credit shall be awarded if the courses are judged by the appropriate statewide course numbering system faculty committees representing school districts, public postsecondary educational institutions, and participating nonpublic postsecondary educational institutions 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 Department of Education shall ensure that credits to be accepted by a receiving institution are generated in courses for which the faculty possess credentials that are comparable to those required by the accrediting association of the receiving institution. The award of credit may be limited to courses that are entered in the statewide course numbering system. Credits awarded pursuant to this subsection shall satisfy institutional requirements on the same basis as credits awarded to native students.
Exceptions to the General Rule for Equivalency Since the initial implementation of the SCNS, specific disciplines or types of courses have been excepted from the guarantee of transfer for equivalent courses. These include courses that must be evaluated individually or courses in which the student must be evaluated for mastery of skill and technique. The following courses are exceptions to the general rule for course equivalencies and may not transfer. Transferability is at the discretion of the receiving institution.
A. Courses not offered by the receiving institution. B. For courses at nonregionally accredited institutions, courses offered prior to the established transfer
date of the course in question. C. Courses in the _900-999 series are not automatically transferable, and must be evaluated
individually. These include such courses as Special Topics, Internships, Apprenticeships, Practica, Study Abroad, Theses, and Dissertations.
D. Applied academics for adult education courses. E. Graduate courses. F. Internships, apprenticeships, practica, clinical experiences, and study abroad courses with numbers
other than those ranging from 900-999. G. Applied courses in the performing arts (Art, Dance, Interior Design, Music, and Theatre) and skills
courses in Criminal Justice (academy certificate courses) are not guaranteed as transferable. These courses need evidence of achievement (e.g., portfolio, audition, interview, etc.).
100
Courses at Nonregionally Accredited Institutions
The SCNS makes available on its home page (http://scns.fldoe.org) a report entitled “Courses at
Nonregionally Accredited Institutions” that contains a comprehensive listing of all nonpublic institution courses in the SCNS inventory, as well as each course’s transfer level and transfer effective date. This report is updated monthly. Questions about the SCNS and appeals regarding course credit transfer decisions should be directed to (Dr. Barbara J. Rodriguez) in the (Office of Publications) or to the Florida Department of Education, Office of Articulation, 1401 Turlington Building, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-0400. Special reports and technical information may be requested by calling the SCNS office at (850) 245-0427 or at http://scns.fldoe.org.

Bachelor of Science in Nursing Program Philosophy The Bachelor of Science in Nursing subscribes to the philosophy statement of Florida National University. The
Nursing faculty has developed and adheres to the following beliefs:
• We believe that the students’ success in nursing derives from knowledge of nursing principles,
development of skills and competence, and high standards of professionalism expressed through
appearance, attitude, and demeanor in all aspects of practice.
• We believe that safe nursing care derives from critical thinking skills, good judgment applied to knowledge
and clinical expertise.
• We believe that the Bachelor of Science in Nursing continues the high standards of integrity and ethics for
students, professors, administrators and staff set by the institution for all of its programs.
• We believe that every student is unique and deserves the individual support and guidance necessary to
be successful.
• We believe that the registered nurse functions as an important part of the health care team within the
limits of the scope of practice of the profession. We believe that an understanding of the dependent role of
the registered nurse and the scope of practice is a key element of the success of the nursing graduate.

**This course has prerequisites; check course descriptions. *** BLS, ACLS and PALS certifications must be completed prior to Respiratory Clinical III. **+ This course must be passed with a minimum of a B as it is part of the admission’s criteria to the RET Program
(core courses).
Disclosure of additional expenses: Mandatory certifications: CPR, OSHA, HIV, ACLS, PALS, OSHA, HIV, HIPPA,
and the RT Board Review program, the Kettering Seminars Comprehensive Review, an NBRC SAE Clinical
Simulation and a TMC SAE (program exit exam). In addition: Textbooks, uniforms, lab coat, stethoscope, a pulse
oximeter, Level II and AHCA Background Checks, Liability Insurance, Physical Exam and Immunization (S), school
utensils (notebook, black pen, pencils, highlighter and the like).
Disclosure of academic progress: Primary criterion include completion of college general education courses required
by the major with a “C” or better in each of the general education courses, having the minimum 2.50 GPA or better and
concurrence with the technical standards of the profession of Respiratory Care, with the exception of Natural Science
courses and the RET courses that must be passed with a “B” or better in each course (See Program Policies and
Procedures, Grading). Students will be allowed to repeat only one core course. After repeating one core course, a C or
less in any of the subsequent courses will result in not being allowed to continue in the program.
Re-entry policy into the Respiratory Therapy associates program
Policy:
If a student earns less than a B grade in an RET core course, the student will not be allowed to continue with her/his
current cohort and be temporarily withdrawn from the program.
The student will have the option of re-entering the program the next time a cohort reaches the RET course that the
student needs to re-take (usually within the period of one academic year). However, the student will first have to
meet with the DCE and the PD for them to re-assess acceptance criteria.
If the student earns a C grade or less in the same course or in any other RET core course after the re-entry, the
student will be terminated from the program, with no potion to return.
Student opting for re-entry into the program must retake all core courses taken by the cohort where student is re-
inserting in the Audit modality, but with the same attendance requirements as all students in the re-inserting cohort.
Audit courses are mandatory for re-entry students but free of charge.
Students that want to re-enter the program after a period of a year has lapsed since the student was temporarily
withdrawn, will have to go through the entire program’s admission procedure and will have to audit, at no extra
charge all of the RET core courses taken (in sequence as per program policy) up to the re-insertion course.
The latter will serve as a refresher for the student to keep the knowledge fresh since both the Program’s Exit Exam
and the NBRC National Boards are comprehensive in nature.
Student disqualified for legal, ethical, and or safety issues, will not be considered for re-entry.
177
Procedure:
1- Students who do not earn a B grade in an RET core course will be notified in a joint session by the professor in
charge of the class and either the DCE or the PD.
a. The notification will be done in writing.
b. The student will be invited to read the form and sign it.
c. If the student refuses to sign the form, it will be noted on the form and co-signed by the faculty in attendance.
d. A note will be written in the student’s electronic record as well, and an email will be sent to the student with
information about the options: re-enter the program when a new cohort starts, or drop from the program.
e. The student will have 8 weeks to make a decision about either re-entering at a later date or dropping from the
program, and will write a letter to the DCE and PD notifying them of their final decision.
Admissions Policy for CRT to RRT Bridge Option Candidates must have a current NBRC CRT credential.
Credit will be given to candidates meeting the above mentioned prerequisite for RET 1026C: Respiratory Care
Equipment, and RET 1486C: Respiratory Anatomy and Physiology.

Gordon Rule Requirements
The Gordon Rule requirement, State Board of Education Rule 6A-10.030, is comprised of two parts: communication and computation. The communication component requires that the student complete course work that involves substantial writing. The writing in such courses will be evaluated on effectiveness, organization, clarity, and coherence, as well as the grammar, punctuation, and usage of standard written English. The student must be provided feedback on the written work submitted. In order to comply with the Gordon Rule, all students are required to demonstrate college-level writing skills in their required composition courses and any other courses designated as carrying writing credit. In all writing-credit courses, students should expect essay tests, in-class writing, and/or formal written presentation of material relevant to the content of the course. The word count has been eliminated. The computation component requires that the student complete credits in certain mathematics or mathematics-related courses at or above the level of college algebra. Credits must be earned in courses with a mathematics prefix (typically courses offered by the mathematics department). Other credits may also be earned in certain mathematics or statistics courses.

Course Descriptions
Clock Hour to Credit Hour Equivalency
Course descriptions are shown in alphabetical order by course prefix.
Clock hours are evaluated using the following formula: 15 lecture clock hours = 1 semester credit hour / 30
laboratory clock hours = 1 semester credit hour / 45 externship-clinical clock hours = 1 semester credit hour.
The total credit hours value of a course is figured by adding the number of lecture credit hours with half the
Lab. credit hours. For example, 2 hrs. Lect., plus 4 hrs. Lab. comes to (2+[4:2]); that is, 4 credits for the course.
(For credit hour and clock hour equivalency).
Note: 1000 course codes are freshman courses; 2000 course codes are sophomore courses; 3000 course codes are junior courses; and 4000 course codes are senior courses. 5000 and 6000 are graduate level courses. Courses starting with a “0” are considered remedial/developmental.

The test will be used to determine whether students will be required to take remedial or developmental coursework before being allowed to take college level courses.
- The open admission policy does not mean that there are no restrictions on admission to specific programs. It does mean that these restrictions are flexible enough to allow students opportunities to improve their educational status by eliminating deficiencies through remedial work. New students seeking admission to a specific program must provide appropriate transcripts and participate in placement assessment to meet prerequisites/co-requisites. When new students are able to meet the specific admission requi

These interviews conclude with the signing of the Enrollment Application, a contract that covers all obligations betwe

- The procedure for transferability of credits to FNU is as follows:
- 1. The applicant submits an original transcript of his/her courses from the previous institution(s) at the time of registration or within the student’s first semester of enrollment.
- 2. The Campus Registrar will render an interim evaluation of the transcript. Copy will be uploaded to CampusNexus system.
- 3. The University Registrar or the Vice-President of Academics will give the final approval to the transfer credits.

- Students must report all education and training. The University must evaluate and grant credit, if appropriate, with the training time shortened, the tuition reduced proportionately, and the VA and student notified.
- Re-Enrollment / Readmission
- Typically, a Re-Enrollment is a student who withdrew and requests enrollment in another program and Readmission is for students who withdrew and desire to return to the same program within five years. All re-entry must be processed by the Friday before the start date of every term. In both cases students must satisfy the readmission procedures as follows:
- 1. The student who withdrew with a CGPA of 2.0 or better and a clear balance will resume his/her studies following regular admission procedures.

The student who was terminated because of academic probation or lack of attendance and has two consecutive semesters with a GPA under 2.0 cannot be considered for Re-Enrollment or Readmission unless the student requests a waiver of the Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy. The following process will apply:
- a) A student who has been dropped or suspended because of inability to maintain a CGPA of 2.0 may reapply to Florida National University after being out of school for a minimum of one term. At that time, the student’s academic records will be evaluated to determine if it is possible for a 2.0 cumulative grade point average to be achieved and if the program can be completed within the maximum time frame of 1.5 time of the normal time frame for completion.

- HEOA COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT COMPLIANCE PLAN
- Introduction
- The Higher Education Opportunity Act (HEOA) of 2008 includes a requirement that institutions develop and implement a plan to effectively combat the unauthorized distribution of material, the copyright in and to which may be owned by a third party, by users of the institution’s network without unduly interfering with the educational and research use of the network.
- The plan must include:
- 1. The use of technology-based deterrents;

- Use of Technology-Based Deterrents
- Florida National University uses a number of technical means to monitor Peer to Peer (P2P) file sharing on its network. Information that is maintained includes records of P2P file sharing sessions of all Faculty, Staff and Students. This information includes source and destination information, usernames, files being transferred, and information on the P2P application being used. When P2P traffic is observed on the network the file being transferred is identified and compared against an extensive database
- In addition, application firewalls are enabled for all zones, which trigger general monitoring at three campus firewalls. The firewall has a signature group of common P2P apps and as new signatures are introduced, they are added to this group. These firewalls generate alerts that show up in logs, which are monitored on the firewall log viewer and via the GMS portal.
- Educational Plan for Electronic Copyright Protection
- The Student Services Department, in cooperation with the VP of Academic Affairs will provide yearly notification to students, staff and faculty of the college’s intellectual property procedures. Additional information regarding appropriate use of copyrighted materials will be distributed to faculty, staff, and students as they are developed. The Student Services department will address FNU’s Copyright Infringement Policies during Orientation and the Policy will be posted throughout the campus during orient
- The VP of Academic Affairs will publish in the FNU Catalog the University’s stance on intellectual property rights, P2P file sharing, the Higher Education Opportunity Act (HEOA) and the Digital Millennium Copy right act (DMCA). The pages developed and published will include a link(s) to how to obtain content authored by a third party material legally.

- FINANCIAL AID PROGRAMS
- These programs can be from federal, state or private sources. There are three types of federal student aid:
- Grants: financial aid that does not have to be repaid (unless, for example, you withdraw from school and owe a refund).
- Work-Study: allows you to earn money for your education.
- Loans: allow you to borrow money for your education. You must repay your loans, with interest.
- LOANS, GRANTS AND SCHOLARSHIPS
- FEDERAL DIRECT LOAN PROGRAM
- Student loans, unlike grants and work-study are borrowed money that must be repaid, with interest. You cannot have these loans canceled because you did not like the education you received, did not get a job in your field of study or because you are having financial difficulty. Loans are legal obligations, so before you take out a student loan, think about the amount you need and do not request more than you need for your education.

- FEDERAL Family Educational Loan (FFEL)
- The Federal Family Educational Loan Program is a loan to help the student pay for postsecondary education. Loans made through this program are referred to as FFEL Loans. Private lenders provide funds that are guaranteed by the federal government. FFEL loans include subsidized and unsubsidized FFEL Stafford Loans, FFEL PLUS Loans and FFEL Consolidation Loans
- The Subsidized FFEL is based on financial need using a federal formula. Repayment begins six months after graduation or when enrollment drops below half time. Repayment may run up to 10 years.
- The Unsubsidized Federal Stafford Loan is not based on need and is available to students regardless of family income. However, because the government does not subsidize the loan, the student is responsible for all interest, which accrues during in-school, grace and deferment periods.
- Federal Parent Loan (PLUS) - Parents of dependent students may borrow up to the difference between the costs of education minus other financial aid. The borrower must have a good credit history.
- Interest Rate for FFEL
- For loans first disbursed on or after July1st, 2008, the interest is 6.0 for subsidized Stafford loans for undergraduate students and 6.8 percent for unsubsidized Stafford loans for undergraduate and graduate students.
- FFEL PLUS Loans first disbursed on or after July 1st, 2008 have a fixed interest rate of 8.5 percent. Direct Loans first disbursed on or after July 1st, 2006 have a fixed interest rate of 7.9 percent.
- Over a four-year period beginning July 1st, 2008 the interest rate on subsidized Stafford loans made to undergraduate students, with a first disbursement date on or after July 1st, 2008, will be reduced as shown in the following chart:

- BORROWER COUNSELING
- First-time borrowers are required to participate in entrance counseling prior to receiving the first disbursement of their loan. The purpose of this counseling is to emphasize the student’s rights and responsibilities as a first-time borrower.
- Prior to leaving FNU (either by graduation or withdrawal) borrowers are required to participate in exit counseling to receive important information about repayment, consolidation, deferment, and other matters and to have the opportunity to ask questions about their specific situation. Examples of typical beginning payments for direct loan repayment plans are as on Table below.

- FEDERAL PELL GRANT PROGRAM
- A Pell Grant is an entitlement program designed to assist undergraduates in paying for their education.
- 1. The U.S. Department of Education evaluates applications.
- 2. The Department of Education uses a standard formula in their evaluation, which guarantees equal treatment for all applicants, but it also means that, except for a few specific cases, there are no exceptions made for unique financial circumstances of students or their families. The formula used to determine the Estimated Family Contribution (EFC) is too long to be included in this catalog. However, a pamphlet that describes the formula in detail can be obtained by writing to Federal Student Aid, P.O. Box
- 3. Demonstrate financial need. The Department of Education mails an Institutional Student Information Record (ISIR) directly to the student, which the student submits to FNU, even if there is no award.
- 4. Be a high school graduate or hold a GED diploma. The amount of the award is determined by the Estimated Family Contribution (EFC), which is reported in the ISIR.
- FEDERAL SUPPLEMENTAL EDUCATION OPPORTUNITY GRANT (FSEOG)
- Federal Supplemental Education Opportunity Grants are awarded to undergraduate students with exceptional financial need who will also receive Federal Pell Grants during the award year. FSEOG funds are limited and students should apply at the time of admission to FNU for these funds.
- In order to serve the best interests of our students, FNU allocates a percentage of these funds for each starting class. First priority for receiving an FSEOG award will be an applicant with the lowest expected family contribution (EFC) who is also Pell eligible.
- If all Pell eligible students receive an FSEOG award, the next priority would be students with the lowest expected family contribution (EFC) who are not Pell eligible.

- FINANCIAL AID VERIFICATION
- Florida National University has developed the following Policies and Procedures regarding verification of information provided by applicants for Federal Aid under the Title IV Program
- 1. Only those students who are selected for verification by the Department of Education will be required to submit supporting documentation.
- 2. No Pell or Campus Based Funds will be disbursed prior to the completion of verification.
- 3. The institution prior to the completion of verification will certify a Federal Family Education Student Loan application. However, the student has but 45 days from the time the check arrives to the institution to provide the necessary documentation. If not completed by that time the check will be returned to the lender.
- 4. For the Federal Pell Grant the student will have until 120 days after his/her last day of attendance or the end of the academic year, whichever is earlier, to complete verification. However, in the interim the student must have made arrangements with FNU for payment of all tuition and fees. After the passage of the aforementioned period, all Financial Aid that might have been due is forfeited.
- 5. All students will be notified on a timely basis if they have been selected for verification, and the supporting documentation that is required. The institution will use as its reference, the most recent verification guide supplied by the Department of Education. At that time the student will be informed of the time parameters and the consequences of not completing the verification cycle. The institution will notify the student of the result of verification and any other documentation needed. The insti
- 6. If the student supplies inaccurate information on any application and refuses to correct it, after being counseled by the institution, FNU must refer this case to the Department of Education for resolution. Unless required by the Department of Education, no financial aid will be disbursed to the student.
- TRANSFERRING FINANCIAL AID
- Financial Aid does not transfer automatically when a student transfers from one university to another. To continue receiving aid at the new university, the student must check with a Financial Aid officer at the new university to find out what programs are available and what steps are necessary. Students who decide to transfer must have the former university send a financial aid transcript to the new university. If the new university does not receive this transcript, the student will have difficulty recei
- Transfer students who have a Federal Pell Grant must get a duplicate copy of their Student Aid Report and submit it to the new university’s financial aid office.
- Transfer students who have a Federal Perkins Loan or a Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant should check with the Financial Aid Office at the new school to find out if funds from these programs are available.
- NOTIFICATION OF FINANCIAL AID AWARDS
- The student is notified of his or her awards in an award letter. If the student feels the awards do not cover his or her needs, the student should consult with FNU’s Financial Aid Officer.
- REESTABLISHING ELIGIBILITY FOR FINANCIAL AID
- Students who have been terminated for lack of satisfactory academic progress (2.0) and seek to reestablish their eligibility for financial aid must first successfully complete courses without benefit of financial aid in order to reestablish good academic standing.
- DISBURSEMENT PROCEDURES
- Awards will be made in accordance with the award letters issued by the Office of Financial Aid.
- Federal Pell Grant or campus base checks will be made payable directly to FNU in a separate check for each student’s account. Financial Aid awards will be disbursed electronically and will be applied to each student’s account.
- WORKFORCE INVESTMENT ACT (WIA)
- The WIA program provides tuition assistance for students who meet the eligibility requirements of the programs. To determine if you are eligible, you should apply directly to the WIA office. The WIA coordinator for FNU has an office at the Hialeah Campus.
- Academic Policies and Procedures

- Changes to the class schedule can be made only during the ADD/DROP period (first week of the semester). Any changes to the schedule must be approved by the Department/Division Head and a Cancel/Add form must be filled out and turned in to the Registrar’s Office. The Cancel/Add form is available at the Registrar’s Office of each Campus and on the FNU website. Distance Learning students must submit the completed form to the Registrar’s Office via either e-mail ([email protected] or [email protected]) or fax at
- In order to access or print your class schedule, you must set up an account on the FNU student portal. Instructions are available on the FNU website. A user name and password is required. You will also be able to use the FNU Portal to access other pertinent information.
- It is the student ‘s responsibility to withdraw, cancel, or change any courses assigned to him/her during the ADD/DROP period. After the ADD/DROP period, no schedule changes will be accepted for the Term B, unless it is an emergency, and the student will be charged for the change $50.00 per change. Approved changes for Term B can only be done by substituting the class with another course carrying the same credit load and by paying the $50.00 fee. Please note that all changes carry a $50.00 fee even if it ju
- CLASSIFICATION OF STUDENTS OR STATUS

- TRANSIENT AND NON-DEGREE-SEEKING STUDENT ADMISSION
- A student who is in good standing at another college or university may be admitted to Florida National University as a transient student. Transient students should consult the appropriate Dean or Registrar at the university to which they wish their credits transferred to determine the acceptability of outside credits at their home institution.
- For classification purposes, employees or family members seeking credits at FNU are also referred to as Transient students.
- Applicants who are taking a course, but without enrolling in a program, are classified as non-degree seeking students. At Florida National University these students are limited to thirty credits in this classification, and they are not eligible for financial aid.
- CLASS LOAD, CREDIT HOUR AND CLOCK HOUR EQUIVALENCY
- Class load refers to the number of credits a student carries in a semester. For degree and career programs a student may carry a load of 17 credit hours maximum per semester. One credit hour equals 15 clock hours of lecture, 30 clock hours of Lab., 45 clock hours of externship, or 100 clock hours of pre-clinical or clinical journal. One clock hour is equivalent to 50 minutes of lecture and a 10 - minute break.
- Utilizing the definition that an hour of work is the equivalent of 50 minutes of class time (often called a contact hour), the university policy requires at least 45 hours of work by each student for each unit of credit. Contact hours required for specific types of courses are as follows:
- At least 15 contact hours of lecture as well as a minimum of 30 hours of student homework are required for each unit of student credit.
- At least 15 contact hours of lecture as well as a minimum of 30 hours of student homework are required for each unit of student credit.
- At least 15 contact hours of lecture as well as a minimum of 30 hours of student homework are required for each unit of student credit.
- Laboratory courses must maintain a minimum of 45 contact hours per unit of credit.
- Laboratory courses must maintain a minimum of 45 contact hours per unit of credit.
- Each unit of internship or practicum must require a minimum of 45 hours of work.
- Each unit of internship or practicum must require a minimum of 45 hours of work.
- Certificate Programs: Since courses within a certificate program are not acceptable for credit toward a degree program within the institution, the conversion formula for certificate programs is as follows: one credit hour equals 30 clock hours of lecture, 30 clock hours of lab., or 30 clock hours of externship.
- SATISFACTORY ACADEMIC PROGRESS
- All students must meet certain minimum standards for Satisfactory Academic Progress while enrolled at Florida National University (FNU).
- In order to achieve Satisfactory Academic Progress, a student must satisfy three criteria, each of which is evaluated, on a cumulative basis, at the end of each semester. The three criteria are:
- Cumulative Grade Point Average (must meet minimum thresholds in table below)
- Pace of Progression (must successfully complete at least 66.7% of credits attempted)
- Maximum Time Frame (must complete the program in no more than 150 percent of the normal time frame for completion)
- GRADE POINT AVERAGE: The grade point average or GPA for a semester is calculated by dividing (a) a number equal to the sum of credit hours for each course attempted during the semester times the quality point value for each grade earned in the course by (b) a number equal to the number of credit hours attempted during the semester (i.e., hours from courses with grades A through F).
- The cumulative grade point average, or CGPA, is obtained by calculating the GPA for all courses attempted at Florida National University with grades of A through F. Course grades of S, U, I, W, AU, and TC do not count in the overall CGPA since they carry no quality points, but they do count as credits attempted for purposes of determining the Pace of Progression. The minimum CGPA required to maintain SAP varies depending on the program the student is enrolled in and the number of credits the student has at
- PACE OF PROGRESSION: Pace of Progression is measured by calculating, at the end of each semester, the cumulative number of credits successfully completed (i.e., courses with a grade of A through D) as a percentage of the cumulative number of credits attempted.
- MAXIMUM TIME FRAME: The maximum time frame for completing a program is equal to 150 percent of the normal time frame for completing the program as measured in credit hours. For example, a full-time student in a baccalaureate program normally would complete the program in four academic years with 120 semester hours. The maximum time frame for such a student to complete the program would be 180 semester hours. The Pace of Progression requirement is intended to ensure that the students are on pace to gradua
- Maintenance of Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) is a requirement for graduation; it is also necessary in order to maintain eligibility for Title IV financial assistance. FNU evaluates Satisfactory Academic Progress at the end of every semester.
- Students must continue to meet the minimum SAP standards as measured at the end of each semester, in order to maintain eligibility for financial assistance. The CGPA and Pace of Progression are be based on all periods of enrollment even when the student did not receive Title IV funds. However, should a student change programs at FNU, SAP will be based on all coursework that is applicable to the student’s current degree, diploma, or certificate program of study. If the student does not meet the minimum SAP
- Students who are eligible for Federal student aid funds continue to receive those funds while on Academic Warning. All students on Academic/Financial Aid Warning who meet the minimum SAP standards at the end of the semester will be removed from Academic/Financial Aid Warning.
- Any student who fails to meet the minimum SAP standards at the end of the semester on Academic/Financial Aid Warning will be considered for dismissal and suspended for the coming semester. The student may appeal the suspension by submitting a written request explaining and documenting why
- the student failed to achieve SAP, such as the death of a relative, an injury or illness, or other special circumstances, and how circumstances have changed such that the student will be able to achieve SAP at the end of the next semester if permitted to re-enroll. A student requesting an appeal must submit a written request to the Vice President of Academic Affairs and Vice President/Director of Financial Aid. If the appeal is granted, the student may re-enroll and will be placed on Academic/Financial Ai
- All students on Academic/Financial Aid Probation are monitored again for SAP at the end of the semester on Academic/Financial Aid Probation. All such students who satisfy the minimum SAP standards at the end of the semester will be removed from Academic/Financial Aid Probation, and will continue to remain subject to the SAP requirements. All students on Academic/Financial Aid Probation who do not satisfy the SAP requirements at the end of the semester will be dismissed.
- All financial aid applicants in eligible degree/diploma/certificate programs are evaluated for SAP whether they received financial assistance in prior terms or not.
- If the student attended FNU in the past and seeks to re-enroll, the student will be reviewed for SAP for financial aid purposes on all previously attempted courses that are applicable to the student’s current program of enrollment regardless of how long ago the student attended FNU or whether or not aid was received.
- When a student transfers course credits to FNU, transfer credits count as credits attempted and credits earned.
- The student may modify the initial course schedule up to the last day of the add/drop period with a refund. Classes that are dropped during this time period are not counted as part of the SAP evaluation process. If the student withdraws after the add/drop period, it will negatively affect the Pace of Progression and Maximum Time Frame requirements because the credits will count as credits attempted but not credits earned.
- If a student repeats a course, the higher grade is used in the CGPA but credits for both courses count as credit hours attempted.
- If the student changes degree or certificate programs, the SAP calculation will reset to only count those credits that are applicable to the student’s new program of study. Credits that do not count toward the new program of study will not be included in the pace calculation and the related grades will not be included in the CGPA.
- Remedial credit hours completed are used in Grade Point Average calculations, but not in Pace of Progression, and Maximum Time Frame calculations.

- A student who has been dismissed for failure to satisfy SAP following a semester on Academic/Financial Aid Probation may reapply to Florida National University after being out of school for one semester. If re-admitted, the student will remain subject to all SAP requirements and, if otherwise eligible for Federal student aid, will not be eligible to receive such funds until and unless the students meets all SAP requirements.
- ATTENDANCE POLICY
- The policy on attendance for university classes will be the responsibility of the professor, and the professor will fully inform students of such policy at the beginning of the semester.
- The faculty and staff at Florida National University want you to succeed. Since studies indicate a positive relationship between good attendance and better grades, you are strongly encouraged to attend all classes and arrive on time.
- * Individual instructors establish their own class attendance policies. Each instructor’s policy is included in the course syllabus and distributed at the beginning of each semester.
- * It is your responsibility to understand and follow these policies and, if possible, to notify instructors in advance when it is necessary to miss a class.
- * Any anticipated prolonged absences should be reported to instructors as soon as possible.
- * If you stop attending class (es) for any reason, you must consult with your instructor(s) and registrar about possible withdrawal from the class (es).
- VETERAN’S ATTENDANCE POLICY
- Early departures, class cuts, tardies, etc., for any portion of a class period will be counted as 1 absence.
- Students exceeding 20 % total absences in a calendar month will be terminated from their VA benefits for unsatisfactory attendance.
- In order to show that the cause of unsatisfactory attendance has been removed, students must show good attendance (as defined) for one calendar month after being terminated for unsatisfactory attendance. After such time, the student may be recertified for VA education benefits.
- The student's attendance record will be retained in the veteran's file for USDVA and SAA audit purposes.
- LEAVE OF ABSENCE
- Any student requesting a leave of absence (LOA) from the institution must submit a written request to the Registrar‘s Office. The LOA request form is located at the Registrar’s Office of every campus or can be downloaded from the FNU website. Distance Learning students must submit the completed form to the Registrar’s Office via either e-mail ([email protected] or [email protected]) or fax at (305) 362 0595, Attention to: Registrar’s Office. Additional questions about the Distance Learning Department can be
- The Leave of Absence must be requested ONLY during the ADD/DROP period. The request needs to be signed and dated by the student and must include the date student expects to return to school. The request must be approved by the campus registrar and a financial aid officer.
- Federal regulations allow an approved leave of absence of no more than 180 days. There are no exceptions. Multiple leave of absences can be granted not exceeding 180 days.
- An LOA extends the graduation date. Students on LOA will normally not be able to maintain their course sequencing.
- A student on leave of absence will not incur additional charges by the school during this period, though monthly payments must continue during the LOA.
- If the student does not report back to FNU by the add/drop period of the following semester, the student will be considered to have withdrawn from school as of the first day of the new semester.
- The University has thirty days after the last day of an approved leave of absence to process financial assistance refunds to grantors. By official regulation, international students may use a leave of absence (LOA) only after completion of one academic year (8 months).
- STANDARD PERIOD OF NON-ENROLLMENT
- Students enrolled in Certificate Programs, and planning to be out of FNU for one term (two months), must submit a written request for a Standard Period of Non-Enrollment to the Registrar‘s Office. The SPNE request form is located in the Registrar’s Office or can be downloaded from the FNU website.
- SPNE’s are usually approved for one term (two months) per semester. However, during the summer semester, a student can request it for four months (one semester).
- A Standard Period of Non-Enrollment must be requested prior to the start of the term or during the first week of classes of the term the student is planning to be away from FNU.
- After the ADD/DROP period, no SPNE requests are granted. Students will receive a “W” for that term once that SPNE is approved. If the SPNE is only for one term (two months), the student’s remaining schedule of courses will remain the same.
- The request must be authorized by the Campus Registrar and the Financial Aid officer.
- Students must report to the Registrar‘s Office by the date indicated on the Standard Period of Non-Enrollment form. Students who fail to return to the University by the expected date will be considered to have withdrawn from the school, and the student will therefore be responsible for any balance due.
- An SPNE extends a student’s graduation date. Students on SPNE may not be able to maintain their course sequencing.
- RE-ENROLLMENT / READMISSION
- Typically, a Re-Enrollment is a student who withdrew and requests enrollment in another program and Readmission is for students who withdrew and desire to return to the same program within five years. In both cases students must satisfy the readmission procedures as follows:
- 1. The student who withdrew with a CGPA of 2.0 or better and a clear balance will resume his/her studies following regular admission procedures.
- 2. The student who was terminated because of academic probation or lack of attendance and has two consecutive semesters with a GPA under 2.0 can’t be considered for Re-Enrollment or Readmission unless the student requests a waiver of the Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy. The following process will apply:
- a) A student who has been dropped or suspended because of inability to maintain a CGPA of 2.0 may reapply to Florida National University after being out of school for a minimum of one term. At that time, the student’s academic records will be evaluated to determine if it is possible for a 2.0 cumulative grade point average to be achieved and if the program can be completed within the maximum time frame of 1.5 time of the normal time frame for completion. If it is not possible for the student to meet both
- b) Additionally, Florida National University may use its discretion in waiving its Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy in cases where students have mitigating circumstances. Students requesting an appeal must submit a written request, with appropriate documentation, to the Vice President of Academic Affairs and the Vice President/Director of Financial Aid. If the appeal is approved, the student will be allowed one additional semester to meet the required standards and will be eligible for Title IV fu
- 3. The student who was terminated because of inability to fulfill costs will have to pay the complete balance before classes start.
- 4. The student who was terminated because of serious violations of FNU rules may not reapply at FNU for admission.
- Additionally, Florida National University reserves the right to reject the application request of any student who comes from any other institution where the student has lost ― “Good Standing” status.
- Students that decide to continue onto a different program once a program has been completed, are not considered re-entry nor re-enrollments.

- ACADEMIC GRADING SYSTEM AND TRANSCRIPT CODE KEY
- Official grades and their quality points equivalency at FNU are as shown on the table below. The final grade of a course shall be based on various criteria; however, the individual instructor establishes the weight of each assignment for determining the final grade and this information is given in the course syllabus of which every student shall receive a copy.
- Figure
- FAILURE (F)
- An “F” is a grade; it counts for the GPA. It alters the completion date of the program; it also increases the student’s financial burden. An “F” may not be erased, but the course can be repeated to improve the GPA. The latest grade for the course prevails. A student may continue to receive federal financial aid for any course failed as long as the student is otherwise eligible.
- In the Associate of Science in Nursing Program and the Associate of Science in Physical Therapist Assistant, the lowest acceptable grade is an 80% (B). Anything below an 80% is considered failure.
- INCOMPLETE (I)
- Use of this grade is very restricted and only on the basis of extenuating circumstances in the judgment of the instructor. When a student is not able to complete the course requirements within the length of the course for reasons acceptable to the instructor, the instructor may assign an “Incomplete” on terms specified by the instructor. An “I” is valid for only one TERM; after this it becomes an “F.” During the waiting period, an “I” is listed as credit hours attempted, but not completed.
- The instructor will prepare a modified final exam or an appropriate assignment and leave it in a sealed envelope with the department head or division head. The department head or division head or an instructor designated by them will proctor and score the exam in accordance with FNU policy. The same will apply to written papers waiting to be graded as part of a final grade.
- The instructor may calculate the course average by using “0” for each of the components of the final grade that has not been satisfied. (The course syllabus will list the components of the final grade for that course, or the instructor will otherwise stipulate these).
- WITHDRAWALS (WP, WF, WU, WML)
- Students desiring to withdraw formally from a class may do so within the add-drop period without penalty. A reduction in course load may keep the student from meeting minimum standards for satisfactory progress. Course withdrawals may also jeopardize the student’s financial aid eligibility, VA benefits, and program completion date.
- The ADD/DROP period is the first week of the semester (TERM A) ending Thursday of that week.
- During this time, you are able to add, change, or cancel classes, by following the procedure established. Classes withdrawn within this period will receive be unregistered from the student load.
- Requests to change, add or cancel classes must be made in writing by means of the Cancel/Add form or the Class Change form found on the FNU website or at the Registrar’s Office. Any changes to your schedule must be approved by your Department/Division Head and a Cancel/Add form or Class Change form must be completed, signed, and turned into the Registrar’s Office. Distance Learning students must submit the completed form(s) to the Registrar’s Office via either e-mail ([email protected] or [email protected])
- Additional questions about the Distance Learning Department can be emailed to [email protected].
- No schedule changes will be accepted for the semester during Term B unless it is an emergency, and you will be charged for the change. For changes approved after the ADD/DROP period, the student will be charged $50.00 per change. If a student wants to change a class during Term B, it can only be done by substituting the class with another course carrying the same credit load and by paying the $50.00 fee. Please note that all changes carry a $50.00 fee even if it just a change of session.
- Students starting in the University in Term B of the semester will be able to ADD/CHANGE classes during the first week of this term (until Thursday of that week).
- Late Withdrawal: Any withdrawal after the Add-drop period incurs full financial obligation. The student will receive a “WP” if the withdrawal is made between the second week of classes up to the mid-term. “WP” does not affect GPA. “WF” is assigned after the midterm, when the student does not complete the course requirements. “WF affects GPA. “WU” is assigned after the midterm, when the student does not complete the course requirements for remedial courses. “WU" does not affect GPA.

- The grade of "D" shall transfer and count toward a degree program only for FNU students and/or graduates of an AA or AS. Whether courses with "D" grades in the major satisfy requirements in the major field may be decided by the department or division.
- Grade point averages are not transferred; but courses transferred will appear on the student’s transcripts with their respective/earned grades.
- All transfer of credit must be made effective at the time of registration or within the student’s first semester of enrollment.
- EXPERENTIAL LEARNING CREDITS
- Experiential learning credits may be transferred to satisfy course requirements. Any experiential learning credit that a student receives will appear on their official transcript and will show that a degree requirement has been met. The maximum number of credits earned by examination will be fifteen (15). The credit will be marked as TC and will specify the equivalent course code and name. Credit is awarded based on measurable course learning outcomes presented through a portfolio.
- CREDIT BY EXAMINATION (CE)
- Students may receive credit by examination. The Campus Dean will evaluate each case, and the appropriate academic department will proctor and score the exams. The student will be graded “S” if scoring 70% or better, otherwise “U”. The result of this exam cannot be challenged again. Application forms are available from the Registrar.
- Institutional credit by examination will become a part of the student’s permanent record at the conclusion of the semester in which it is awarded; grades will count toward graduation requirements and they will be entered with a CE on the student’s transcripts.
- A fee per credit hour will be charged for each examination administered. The maximum number of credits earned by examination will be nine (9). Please be advised that the Federal Pell Grant does not cover credit by examination, just credits earned on the basis of regular class attendance. This process will be documented in the Academic Summary Sheet inside the student’s academic file.
- Credit by examination may not be used to eliminate an “F” or “I” grade.
- SPECIAL INDIVIDUALIZED STUDIES (SIS)
- A special study is offered only in certain circumstances. They are conducted in a hybrid method or administered online by the Department or Division Head. Degree-seeking students are allowed to take a maximum of six credits in special individualized studies, supported by a cumulative grade point average of 3.0 GPA. The VP of Academic Affairs and the campus Dean will give approval for such studies. After this, SIS students are under the supervision and taught by the Department Head or Division Head.
- ESL placement BY TESTING
- Upon enrollment, the ESL program uses a placement test for new students, and they are placed in the corresponding level according to their performance (score) on this test. There is no fee for the placement test.
- REPEATING COURSES
- Students may repeat courses taken at Florida National University in order to improve the cumulative grade point average. The credit is given for the last grade earned when repeating a course. Repeated courses will appear on the student’s transcript. The first attempt will also be shown, but the cumulative grade point average will be computed on the basis of the last attempt only. In the case of repeating a course to improve the GPA, tuition fees will be entirely the student’s responsibility.
- In the evaluation of satisfactory progress, in addition to the minimum credits earned and grade point average each time they are taken, repeated courses will be counted as credits attempted. When successfully completed, they will count as credits earned.
- A student failing a course may still be eligible for financial aid upon repeating it. The student will seek advice at the Financial Aid office.
- CHANGING A MAJOR OR PROGRAM
- A student who wishes to change from one program to another will be thoroughly advised by (a) the registrar (b) the financial aid officer, and (c) the departmental faculties involved for the purpose of making the student fully aware of the best possible use of credits earned, of allocated monies, of necessary changes in the enrollment application, and any other possible implication. All courses taken that can be transferred to the new program, as either required courses or as electives, will be reflected in
- STANDARDS OF ACADEMIC PROGRESS FOR VA STUDENTS
- Students receiving VA educational benefits must maintain a minimum cumulative grade point average (CGPA) of 2.0 each semester.
- A VA student whose CGPA falls below 2.0 at the end of any semester will be placed on academic warning for a maximum of two consecutive terms of enrollment. If the VA student’s CGPA is still below 2.0 at the end of the second consecutive term on warning, the student’s VA educational benefits will be terminated.
- A VA student terminated from VA educational benefits due to unsatisfactory progress may petition the school to be recertified after attaining a CGPA of 2.0.

- LOCKDOWN PROCEDURES
- In the event of a police action, such as an "Active Shooter," it may be necessary to "lockdown" the campus to limit access, protect lives and minimize the overall exposure to danger.
- A "lockdown" is a temporary sheltering technique, usually lasting from 30 minutes to several hours, used by law enforcement to limit civilian exposure to an "Active Shooter" or a similar incident. When alerted, occupants of any building within the subject area will lock all doors and windows. Do not allow entry or exit to anyone until the "all clear" has been sounded. This procedure converts any building into a large "safe room."
- The Campus Dean or his/her designee evaluates the situation and takes immediate action to protect life and property. Other University administrators are notified as soon as the situation allows. Students, faculty and staff are alerted via rave, bullhorns, telephones, in-person notification, and/or the University public-address system.
- TAKE ACTION
- If you encounter an intruder who is causing harm or threatening imminent harm to people, seek cover immediately and call 911 (police). Provide as many details as possible, such as location, number of assailants, weapons and any other information you believe will be useful. LOCKDOWN INSTRUCTIONS

- TITLE IX PROCEDURES
- Title IX: Sex-Based Discrimination and Sexual Misconduct Policies and Procedures Sex Discrimination Prohibited
- Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 (“Title IX”) is a federal law that prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex in federally assisted education programs or activities. Title IX protects students, employees, applicants for admission and employment, and other persons from all forms of sex discrimination, including sexual harassment, sexual assault, sexual exploitation, gender-based harassment, stalking, dating violence, domestic violence, and gender identity or failure to conform to stereotypical
- Florida National University does not discriminate on the basis of sex in its education programs and activities. The University prohibits all forms of sex discrimination.
- Definitions
- SEXUAL HARRASSMENT:
- Sexual harassment is unwelcome conduct of a sexual nature. Conduct is unwelcome if the complainant did not request or invite it and regarded the conduct as undesirable or offensive; acquiescence in the conduct or failure to complain does not always mean that the conduct was welcome. Sexual harassment can include unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, other verbal, nonverbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature or with sexual overtones, and gender-based harassment based on sex or sex-stereo
- SEXUAL VIOLENCE:
- Sexual violence includes dating violence, domestic violence, sexual assault, and stalking.
- DATING VIOLENCE:
- Dating violence is violence committed by a person who is or has been in a social relationship of a romantic or intimate nature with the victim. Dating violence includes, but is not limited to, sexual or physical abuse or the threat of such abuse. Dating violence does not include acts covered under the definition of domestic violence.
- DOMESTIC VIOLENCE:
- Domestic violence is a felony or misdemeanor crime of violence committed 1) by a current or former spouse or intimate partner of the victim; 2) by a person with whom the victim shares a child in common; 3) by a person who is cohabitating with, or has cohabitated with, the victim as a spouse or intimate partner; 4) by a person similarly situated to a spouse of the victim under the domestic or family violence laws of the jurisdiction in which the crime of violence occurred, or
- 5) by any other person against an adult or youth victim who is protected from that person’s acts under the domestic or family violence laws of the jurisdiction in which the crime of violence occurred.
- The State of Florida defines domestic violence as any assault, aggravated assault, battery, aggravated battery, sexual assault, sexual battery, stalking, aggravated stalking, kidnapping, false imprisonment, or any criminal offense resulting in physical injury or death of one family or household member by another family or household member. “Family or household member” means spouses, former spouses, persons related by blood or marriage, persons who are presently residing together as if a family or who have
- SEXUAL ASSAULT:
- Sexual assault is any sexual act directed against another person, without consent of the victim, including instances where the victim is incapable of giving consent that meets the definition of rape, fondling, incest, or statutory rape.
- Rape is the penetration, no matter how slight, of the vagina or anus, with any body part or object, or oral penetration by a sex organ of another person, without the consent of the victim. This offense includes the rape of both males and females.
- Fondling is the touching of the private body parts of another person for the purpose of sexual gratification, without the consent of the victim, including instances where the victim is incapable of giving consent because of his/her age or because of his/her temporary or permanent mental incapacity.
- Incest is sexual intercourse between persons who are related to each other within the degrees wherein marriage is prohibited by law.
- Statutory Rape is sexual intercourse with a person who is under the statutory age of consent. Florida statutory rape law is violated when a person has consensual sexual intercourse with an individual under age 18. However, there is an exemption for individuals close in age, which allows a person no older than age 23 to engage in consensual sexual intercourse with minors aged 16 or 17.
- STALKING:
- Stalking means engaging in a course of conduct directed at a specific person that would cause a reasonable person to 1) fear for the person’s safety or the safety of others or 2) suffer substantial emotional distress. Course of conduct means two or more acts, including, but not limited to, acts in which the stalker directly, indirectly, or through third parties, by any action, method, device, or means, follows, monitors, observes, surveils, threatens, or communicates to or about a person, or interferes wit
- CONSENT:
- Consent means a clear, unambiguous, and voluntary agreement between the parties engaging in specific sexual activity. A person is incapable of consent when he or she is: 1) mentally disabled;
- mentally incapacitated; 3) physically helpless or incapacitated; or 4) under threat, coercion or force.
- The State of Florida defines consent as intelligent, knowing, and voluntary consent, which does not include coerced submission. “Consent” shall not be deemed or construed to mean the failure by the alleged victim to offer physical resistance to the offender. Among other things, the State of Florida does not consider a victim to be able to consent if the victim is mentally defective, physically incapacitated, or has been administered any narcotic, anesthetic or other intoxicating substance that mentally or p
- Examples of Sexual Harassment
- The following are examples of behavior may create a hostile environment and could be considered sexual harassment prohibited by Title IX:
- Requests or demands for sexual favors
- Unwelcome sexual advances, including touching, kissing, hugging, or massaging
- Non-consensual sexual activity (where the victim does not consent or is incapable of giving consent)
- Violence between intimate partners
- Unnecessary and unwelcome references to various parts of the body
- Unwelcome statements or conduct related to a person's gender, actual or perceived sex, gender identity, or nonconformity with sex or gender stereotypes

- Obscene gestures or nonverbal communication of a sexual or gender-based nature
- Sexually explicit profanity

- Sexual Harassment Prohibited by Title IX
- Sexual harassment that creates a hostile environment by interfering with, denying or limiting a student’s ability to participate in or benefit from the school’s program on the basis of sex is prohibited by Title IX. FNU will consider the following factors in determining whether sexual harassment creates a hostile environment:
- The degree to which the conduct affects one or more students’ education;
- The type, frequency, and duration of the conduct;
- The identity of and relationship between the respondent and the complainant:
- The number of individuals involved;
- The location of the incidents and the context in which they occurred; and
- Other incidents at the school.
- This includes quid pro quo sexual harassment, where such advances or requests are made under circumstances implying that one’s response or submission to unwanted sexual conduct might affect educational or personnel decisions that are subject to the influence of the person making the proposal. For example, quid pro quo sexual harassment occurs when submission to sexual harassment is made, either explicitly or implicitly, a term or condition of instruction, employment, or participation in other College acti
- Florida National University believes that any form of sexual harassment can have a devastating effect upon the people involved and such behavior will not be tolerated. Prompt action will be taken to protect the complainant, investigate the charges, and if warranted, discipline the violator. Such action may include suspension or dismissal.
- Sexual Violence Prevention and Response
- The University educates the student community about sexual violence prevention through the Office of Student Services. The Office of Student Services provides educational materials and conducts prevention and awareness programs for students to promote awareness of, and to prevent sexual violence. Such materials and programs educate students regarding prohibited sexual violence (including relevant definitions), the definition of consent in the state of Florida, safe and positive options for bystander inter
- If you are a victim of sexual violence, first seek safety and then immediate medical attention. The University strongly encourages any victim of sexual violence to report the incident in a timely manner. Time is a critical factor for collecting and preserving of evidence. (Ideally, a victim of sexual violence should not wash, douche, use the restroom, or change clothes prior to a medical examination at a hospital.)
- The University encourages students to report incidents of sexual violence to the local police department by dialing 911 and to report the incident to the Campus Dean or Title IX Coordinators (who can also assist you with the reporting of an act of sexual violence to the police).
- The University also strongly advises victims of sexual violence to seek counseling. Local organizations that specialize in crises counseling include:

- Any member of the University community who believes that he or she has been a victim of sexual harassment (the complainant) by a student, a University employee or a third party may bring the matter to the attention of the Title IX Coordinator or Deputy Coordinators (collectively, the “Title IX Coordinators”). The complainant may also report these matters to either of the following employees: Campus Dean. Associate Dean, Assistant Dean, Vice President of Academic Affairs, Student Services Director, Student
- Services Officer, Student Services Assistant, Athletic Director or Assistant Athletic Director. It is the responsibility of that individual to file the report with one of the Title IX Coordinators.

- https://www.fnu.edu/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/Title-IX-Grievance-Form.pdf
- or from the Office of Student Services or the Title IX Coordinators. Grievance Forms should be submitted directly to one of the Title IX Coordinators or the Director of Student Services. Complainants are encouraged to file complaints promptly because the passage of time typically makes it more difficult to conduct an investigation. Further, it is easier to commence legal proceedings (both civil and criminal) against the accused if the reports are made promptly.
- If the complainant decides to proceed with a formal complaint, the complainant should submit a written statement to one of the Title IX Coordinators.
- FNU’s Title IX Coordinator will investigate all student complaints of sexual harassment. The Title IX Coordinator will inform the alleged offender (respondent) of the allegation, the identity of the complainant, the alleged violation of the University’s policies, and the date and location of the alleged incident(s). A written statement of the complaint will be given to both parties. Exceptions can be made when confidentiality is requested by the complainant, as described below.
- Cases involving sexual harassment are particularly sensitive and demand special attention to issues of confidentiality. Dissemination of information relating to the case will be limited in order that the privacy of all individuals involved is safeguarded as fully as possible.
- Retaliation against the complainant is prohibited. Every effort will be made to protect the complainant from retaliatory action.
- Resolution of the Complaint
- The University will promptly take steps to ensure that the complainant and the respondent have equal access to the University’s educational programs and activities and to protect the complainant and the respondent as necessary, including taking interim measures before the outcome of an investigation. Interim measures are determined on a case-by-case basis and may include counseling, schedule accommodations, academic accommodations, no-contact directives, stay-away letters/campus bans, escorts,
- limitations on extracurricular or athletic activities, and leaves of absence. When implementing interim measures, the University will make every effort to avoid depriving any student of his or her education.
- Reports of alleged Title IX incidents will be investigated in a thorough, impartial, and prompt fashion. The Title IX Coordinator will oversee the collecting of facts related to any reported Title IX incident and will assess whether a further review or investigation is necessary. The Title IX Coordinator will notify and interview complainants, respondents, and witnesses. At the conclusion of the investigation, the Title IX Coordinator will prepare a written report summarizing the relevant exculpatory and
- Directly following the conclusion of the investigation, the Title IX Coordinator will determine whether reasonable cause exists to believe that a policy violation occurred. If such reasonable cause exists and the respondent is a student, the Title IX Coordinator will notify University administrators and determine whether to pursue an informal or formal resolution, as described below. Where the respondent is a faculty or staff member, the Title IX Coordinator will refer the results of the investigation to
- If reasonable cause exists to believe that a policy violation occurred, the Title IX Coordinator believes it is appropriate given the circumstances of the complaint to engage in an informal resolution process, and all parties voluntarily agree to participate in such a process, the Title IX Coordinator will initiate whatever steps he or she deems appropriate to affect an informal resolution of the complaint acceptable to both parties. The complainant or respondent may request to end the informal process at
- If unsatisfied with the informal resolution proposed by the Title IX Coordinator, the complainant or respondent should write a written request to the Title IX Coordinator with his or her opinions and suggestions, including any request to appear before the Honor Court.
- If reasonable cause exists to believe that a policy violation occurred and the Title IX Coordinator believes that an informal resolution process is not appropriate based on the nature of the violation, or one or more of the parties requests access to the formal stage of the complaint process, the complaint and the results of the investigation will be forwarded to the Honor Court. Unless the Honor Court concludes that the complaint is without merit, the parties to the dispute should be invited to appear befo
- The parties will be given adequate notice of any hearing before the Honor Court and will be offered equal and meaningful access to information used during the hearing, including the Title IX Coordinator’s report. The parties will also have the opportunity to provide written responses to the Title IX Coordinator’s report.
- The parties may be accompanied at the Honor Court hearing by the advisor of their choice. The advisor may not participate in the hearing, beyond providing guidance to the party being represented.
- The Honor Court will make findings of fact and conclusions as to whether the facts support a finding of responsibility for violation of the school’s policies using a clear and convincing evidence standard. Thus, the Honor Court must determine whether it is more probable than not that the conduct occurred.
- If the Honor Court determines that it is more probable than not that the conduct occurred, it should recommend sanctions against the respondent and any additional accommodations for the complainant. The Title IX Coordinator should forward the recommendation immediately to one of the campus deans. The campus dean shall proceed in the manner set forth by the university’s rules and procedures, except that the need for a preliminary review will be precluded.
- The Honor Court can recommend the following sanctions if it finds that a student has violated this policy: Suspension, Expulsion, Loss of University Scholarship.
- The Honor Court can recommend the following accommodations for the complainant: classroom adjustments or changes, academic support (tutoring, mentoring, flexible assignment due dates, allowing the student to make up coursework), allowing the student to retake a course and/or withdraw without penalty, counseling services and protective/no contact orders.
- Florida National University seeks to resolve all Title IX reports within sixty (60) days but more complex investigations may require additional time, especially if the matter is brought before the Honor Court. The Title IX Coordinator will notify the complainant and the respondent in writing of the results of the investigation including a summary of the basis for the determination and the actions that will be taken.
- Confidentiality
- The Title IX Coordinator is required to investigate any report of alleged sex and gender based misconduct and to ensure measures are taken to stop adverse behavior and prevent its recurrence, as appropriate.
- Each report is reviewed individually and it is important to note that not every report leads to a disciplinary process.
- A student can request confidentiality after making a Title IX report. For example, a complainant may request that his or her name not be disclosed or that an investigation not be conducted regarding the alleged harassment. If the complainant requests confidentiality, the Title IX
- Coordinator will take all reasonable steps to investigate and respond to the complaint consistent with the student’s request. The University will evaluate any confidentiality requests in the context of its responsibility to provide a safe and nondiscriminatory environment for all students. For example, if there have been other similar accusations against the same respondent such that the University is concerned about the safety of its students, the University may not be able to respect a request for confide
- If the University can honor the complainant’s request for confidentiality, the Title IX Coordinator’s ability to investigate the incident could be limited. For example, the University cannot take disciplinary action against the respondent if the complainant requests that his or her name not be revealed.
- Even when confidentiality is not requested, the University makes every effort to protect the privacy of all individuals involved in such reporting or investigation, yet it cannot always be guaranteed depending on the nature of the incident.
- Any alleged incidents of sexual violence must be reported to the Office of Student Services so they may be included in the University’s crime log and the annual security report. Crimes of sexual violence can be reported without disclosing either party’s name or any other information that would identify the parties.
- Complaints involving students are protected under the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) but may be disclosed for legitimate educational purposes within the University. To disclose the information outside of the University, any affected students would have to give explicit permission for the information to be shared through the Disclosure of Information Form available at the FNU Publications webpage and at the Office of the Registrar, except as described below.
- Under FERPA the University does not need student consent to:
- disclose to the complainant information about the sanction imposed upon a student respondent who was found to have engaged in harassment when the sanction directly relates to the complainant;
- disclose to the complainant the final results of a disciplinary proceeding against the respondent, regardless of whether the University concluded that a violation was committed, when the conduct involves a crime of violence or a non-forcible sex offense; and
- disclose to anyone—not just the complainant—the final results of a disciplinary proceeding if it determines that the student respondent is an alleged perpetrator of a crime of violence or a non-forcible sex offense, and, with respect to the allegation made, the student has committed a violation of the institution’s rules or policies.
- Medical records are confidential and medical and health professionals are required to maintain confidentiality with regard to the patient’s information.
- Retaliation
- Retaliation is prohibited under Title IX against any person who in good faith makes a complaint of sex discrimination, harassment, sexual violence, sexual misconduct, or participates as a witness in a Title IX investigation. The University, the respondent, and the respondent’s associates may not retaliate against an individual for bringing a complaint or for participating in an investigation. The University will take steps to prevent retaliation against a complainant by the respondent or his or her associa
- Contact Information for the Title IX Coordinators

- ACCESSIBILITY TO STUDENT RECORDS AND THE PRIVACY ACT
- Florida National University does not release student record information, except as permitted under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974. The students’ educational records are confidential.
- A student who is eighteen years old or any student enrolled in a post-secondary program must provide one of the following: (a) written consent to release information to his/her parents, or (b) parental evidence that said student is a dependent of the parents as defined in Section 152 of the Internal Revenue Code, 1954. The parents no longer have any rights under the Code unless these requirements are met. Other parties will not be able to receive information without the written consent of the student.
- The student has a right to be informed of any request for information concerning his/her files, according to Statute 20, United States Code, section 123g and regulations adopted pursuant thereto (and thereafter referred to as Code). A copy of the entire Code can be obtained in the Office of the Director of Student Services or at any Campus Dean’s office.
- Under the Code, FNU has established a classification of student information referred to as “directory information.” This “directory information” will be made available to persons on request based on availability of access. Florida National University has established the following data as “directory information.”
- 1. Student’s full name 4. Participation in student organizations
- 2. Sex 5. Dates of attendance (start and withdrawal dates)
- 3. Career major 6. Degree and awards received
- Other information will only be available to the student and certain staff members of FNU who need it for completing their work in regards to the student, and otherwise only to parents or guardian. Such data includes:
- 1. Health and medical records 4. Student or family financial income
- 2. Disciplinary records 5. Student placement records
- 3. Personal counseling records 6. Other personal, identifiable information
- The Records Custodian of Florida National University may release information from these records only upon authorization in writing from the student or in case of subpoena by the court or when needed by the President of FNU in completing his official responsibilities within the limits of the law when mandated by state board regulations, or board policies. The student has the right, upon informing the Registrar’s Office in writing, to withhold personal directory information from publication or release.
- 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 (SCNS). This numbering system is used by all public postsecondary institutions in Florida and by participating nonpublic institutions. The major purpose of this system is to facilitate the transfer of courses between participating institutions. Students and administrators can use the online SCNS to obtain course descriptions and specific information about course transfer betw
- Each participating institution controls the title, credit, and content of its 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 balan
- The course prefix and each digit in the course number have a meaning in the SCNS. The listing of prefixes and associated courses is referred to as the “SCNS taxonomy.” Descriptions of the content of courses are referred to as “statewide course 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 participating institutions that offer the course, with a few exceptions, as listed below in Exceptions to the General Rule for Equivalency.
- For example, a freshman composition skills course is offered by 84 different public and nonpublic postsecondary institutions. Each institution uses “ENC_101” to identify its freshman composition skills course. The level code is the first digit and represents the year in which students normally take the course at a specific institution. In the SCNS taxonomy, “ENC” means “English Composition,” the century digit “1” represents “Freshman Composition,” the decade digit “0” represents “Freshman Composition Sk
- In the sciences and certain 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 that has the same prefix and course number but meets at a different time or place.
- Transfer of any successfully completed course from one participating 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, ENC 1101 is offered at a community college. The same course is offered at a state university as ENC 2101. A student who has successfully completed ENC 1101
- university if the student transfers. The student cannot be required to take ENC 2101 again since ENC 1101 is equivalent to ENC 2101. 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 the native students. It is the prerogative of the receiving institution, however, to offer transfer credit for courses successfully completed that have not be
- The Course Prefix
- The course prefix is a three-letter designator for a major division of an academic discipline, subject matter area, or subcategory 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 to identify the course.
- Authority for Acceptance of Equivalent Courses
- Section 1007.24(7), Florida Statutes, states:
- Any student who 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 statewide course numbering system shall be awarded credit by the receiving institution for courses satisfactorily completed by the student at the previous institutions. Credit shall be awarded if the courses are judged by the appropriate statewide course numbering system faculty committees represe

- Exceptions to the General Rule for Equivalency
- Since the initial implementation of the SCNS, specific disciplines or types of courses have been excepted from the guarantee of transfer for equivalent courses. These include courses that must be evaluated individually or courses in which the student must be evaluated for mastery of skill and technique. The following courses are exceptions to the general rule for course equivalencies and may not transfer. Transferability is at the discretion of the receiving institution.
- A. Courses not offered by the receiving institution.
- A. Courses not offered by the receiving institution.
- A. Courses not offered by the receiving institution.
- B. For courses at nonregionally accredited institutions, courses offered prior to the established transfer date of the course in question.
- B. For courses at nonregionally accredited institutions, courses offered prior to the established transfer date of the course in question.
- C. Courses in the _900-999 series are not automatically transferable, and must be evaluated individually. These include such courses as Special Topics, Internships, Apprenticeships, Practica, Study Abroad, Theses, and Dissertations.

- Courses at Nonregionally Accredited Institutions
- The SCNS makes available on its home page (http://scns.fldoe.org) a report entitled “Courses at Nonregionally Accredited Institutions” that contains a comprehensive listing of all nonpublic institution courses in the SCNS inventory, as well as each course’s transfer level and transfer effective date. This report is updated monthly.
- Questions about the SCNS and appeals regarding course credit transfer decisions should be directed to (Dr. Barbara J. Rodriguez) in the (Office of Publications) or to the Florida Department of Education, Office of Articulation, 1401 Turlington Building, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-0400. Special reports and technical information may be requested by calling the SCNS office at (850) 245-0427 or at http://scns.fldoe.org.

The program will enable graduates to obtain entry level positions and to be qualified to provide direct care to individuals and families in a variety of care settings.”

- Bachelor of Science in Nursing Program Philosophy
- The Bachelor of Science in Nursing subscribes to the philosophy statement of Florida National University. The Nursing faculty has developed and adheres to the following beliefs:
- • We believe that the students’ success in nursing derives from knowledge of nursing principles, development of skills and competence, and high standards of professionalism expressed through appearance, attitude, and demeanor in all aspects of practice.
- • We believe that safe nursing care derives from critical thinking skills, good judgment applied to knowledge and clinical expertise.
- • We believe that the Bachelor of Science in Nursing continues the high standards of integrity and ethics for students, professors, administrators and staff set by the institution for all of its programs.
- • We believe that every student is unique and deserves the individual support and guidance necessary to be successful.
- • We believe that the registered nurse functions as an important part of the health care team within the limits of the scope of practice of the profession. We believe that an understanding of the dependent role of the registered nurse and the scope of practice is a key element of the success of the nursing graduate.

- Gordon Rule Requirements
- The Gordon Rule requirement, State Board of Education Rule 6A-10.030, is comprised of two parts: communication and computation. The communication component requires that the student complete course work that involves substantial writing. The writing in such courses will be evaluated on effectiveness, organization, clarity, and coherence, as well as the grammar, punctuation, and usage of standard written English. The student must be provided feedback on the written work submitted.
- In order to comply with the Gordon Rule, all students are required to demonstrate college-level writing skills in their required composition courses and any other courses designated as carrying writing credit. In all writing-credit courses, students should expect essay tests, in-class writing, and/or formal written presentation of material relevant to the content of the course. The word count has been eliminated.
- The computation component requires that the student complete credits in certain mathematics or mathematics-related courses at or above the level of college algebra. Credits must be earned in courses with a mathematics prefix (typically courses offered by the mathematics department). Other credits may also be earned in certain mathematics or statistics courses.
- The following courses satisfy the Gordon Rule requirements:

- Course Descriptions
- Clock Hour to Credit Hour Equivalency
- Course descriptions are shown in alphabetical order by course prefix.
- Clock hours are evaluated using the following formula: 15 lecture clock hours = 1 semester credit hour / 30 laboratory clock hours = 1 semester credit hour / 45 externship-clinical clock hours = 1 semester credit hour.
- The total credit hours value of a course is figured by adding the number of lecture credit hours with half the Lab. credit hours. For example, 2 hrs. Lect., plus 4 hrs. Lab. comes to (2+[4:2]); that is, 4 credits for the course. (For credit hour and clock hour equivalency).
- Note: 1000 course codes are freshman courses; 2000 course codes are sophomore courses; 3000 course codes are junior courses; and 4000 course codes are senior courses. 5000 and 6000 are graduate level courses. Courses starting with a “0” are considered remedial/developmental.
