ACCESSIBILITY Florida State College at Jacksonville recognizes the importance of assisting and encouraging all students to reach their full potential. In accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), the Americans with Disabilities Act as amended in 2008, and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, the College ensures that its admission requirements are uniformly applied, and that its services, activities, facilities and academic programs are accessible to and usable by all qualified students. The Office of Services for Students with Disabilities (OSSD) implements and coordinates reasonable accommodations and disability-related services to promote full participation of individuals with disabilities in all aspects of college life.

The Rehabilitation Act defines a disability as an individual who has a physical, mental, or learning disability, which substantially limits one or more major life activity (i.e., seeing, hearing, speaking, walking, sitting, standing, breathing, reading, writing, or performing mathematical calculations, and caring for oneself); or who has a record of such impairment; or who is regarded as having such impairment. Both the impairment and the limitation of a major life activity must be established to be eligible under the ADA. Please click here for more information.

LEARNING OUTCOMES Upon completion of the course, the student will be able to: Properly quote and paraphrase sources Summarize material they have read Argue their points persuasively using written materials to substantiate those points Write grammatically correct, proofread papers under timed and proctored conditions Find useful sources in the library and Internet and use these sources Use correct MLA style documentation for research papers Distinguish between the types of nonfiction genres Analyze and evaluate various types of nonfiction prose Compose essays responding to various types of nonfiction prose

FN GRADE - FAILURE FOR NON-ATTENDANCE A Failure for Non-Attendance (FN) grade indicates that a student has failed a course due to non-attendance. It is calculated as an “F” in the student’s grade point average. For students receiving financial aid, failure for non-attendance may require the student to refund to the College all or part of his or her aid. The FN grade will be assigned by the faculty member at any time following the final withdrawal date for the course. See the College’s page on Grading policies (http://fscj.edu/grading )for more information.
