MISCELLANEOUS

Overview

RULE:

6A-10.024

Articulation Between and Among Universities, Florida Colleges, and School Districts

PURPOSE:

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

SUMMARY:

This rule amendment will incorporate the following changes: clarify that a postsecondary institution’s admissions decisions for students with prior misconduct also applies to associate in arts transfer students; clarify that for students who earn additional credit after the associate in arts degree (pursuant to section 1007.25, Florida Statutes) are still protected by the 2+2 transfer guarantee as long as they maintain the 2.0 grade point average; and incorporate revisions to the Articulation Coordinating Committee Credit-by-Examination Equivalencies, Revised February 2016.
