Civic Literacy Competency

PURPOSE:

To update and extend the civic literacy competency requirement to include associate in science and associate in applied science (AS/AAS) students beginning in the 2022-23 academic year and thereafter. All Florida College System institutions will be affected by the rule amendment, which will require colleges to modify their policies, procedures, advising practices and catalogs regarding the new civic literacy requirements. Students entering AS/AAS degree programs in 2022-23 and thereafter will be required to demonstrate postsecondary civic literacy competency prior to graduation.

SUMMARY:

The current rule language exclusively applies to associate in arts and baccalaureate degree seeking students. An amendment is necessary so all degree-seeking students will have to meet the same requirements, consistent with the changes to 1007.25, F.S.
