The additional one-credit hour of supplemental instruction and practice will appear as an Associate in Arts elective on students' college transcripts. This course fulfills the Gordon Rule writing requirement and must be completed with a grade of C or higher pursuant to State Board of Education Rule 6A-10.030. Effective Spring 2014, students who entered the ninth grade in a Florida public high school in the 2003-2004 school year, or any year thereafter, and earned a standard Florida high school diploma, or students who are serving as active duty members in any branch of the United States Armed Services, will not be required to take the common placement test (P.E.R.T.) or to enroll in developmental education at any Florida College System institution, including Florida State College at Jacksonville (per Senate Bill 1720, State Board Rule 6A-10.0315). These students shall be considered exempt from common placement testing and developmental education instruction and may accordingly enroll directly in ENC 1101 or ENC 1101C.
