Non-Degree Seeking

Mission/Purpose

The purpose of the Applied Academics for Adult Education program is to prepare students for college and future careers. The program is based upon the assessed needs of the individual student and the academic and employability requirements related to the Florida Department of Education’s (FLDOE) Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs. For information about the FLDOE CTE programs, visit fldoe.org/academics/career-adult-edu/career-tech-edu/

The Program

The Applied Academics for Adult Education program is designed for students who have tested at the equivalent of 9th grade and above but lack the required level of basic skills for completion of their desired CTE program. The program includes topics related to career planning, digital literacy and workforce preparation activities. After successful completion of the program, students will demonstrate skills in mathematics, reading, and language that are needed to meet the requirements of the FLDOE CTE program and/or future career and education goals.

Note: If a student is currently enrolled in a FLDOE CTE program and meets one of the exemptions as outlined in Rule 6A-10.040, FAC at flrules.org/gateway/ruleNo.asp?id=6A-10.040, he/she may opt out of the basic skills requirement.

Curriculum


Professional Coursework

Program Hours: Varies (Maximum Recommended Hours: 1,300)

The program’s recommended length varies in contact hours. A maximum of 1,300 hours may be funded (state) per each reportable year for an adult education student. However, this should not prevent students from receiving instruction beyond the 1,300 hours if needed. For example, a college may report 1,500 instructional hours but only 1,300 hours will be used in the funding calculation.

Total Contact Hours: 32

Graduation Requirements


In order to be awarded a certificate of completion, students must have met the following requirements

  1. Fulfill all obligations, financial or otherwise, to the College before graduating.
  2. Complete requirements for currently enrolled CTE program and meet one of the basic skill exemptions (per State Board Rule 6A.10.040).
Note: Students are cautioned to pay particular attention to the following statements.
  • A student’s graduation date will be the date of the end of the College term in which the student has fulfilled all academic requirements.
  • Students who enter under the (2022/2023) catalog will be assigned to the degree or certificate requirements in effect during the 2022/2023 academic year. The student’s assigned catalog year will remain in effect as long as the student maintains continuous enrollment. Changes to requirements as mandated by law or by rule of the District Board of Trustees and FLDOE may supersede this provision.
