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

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.
