To receive a bachelor's degree, students must:

Fulfill all academic requirements for the chosen program of study as outlined in the Florida State College at Jacksonville catalog and curriculum.
Earn minimum prescribed semester hours for the selected bachelor's degree with at least a 2.0 (C) on a 4.0 scale for an all college cumulative grade point average. This includes Florida State College at Jacksonville college-credit semester hours and transferred credits (excluding developmental education) in lower and upper division courses;
Earn at least a C in each course used to satisfy the General Education Requirements and any other area designated with a C or higher in each course.
Earn a minimum of 25 percent of all credits counting toward the baccalaureate degree from Florida State College at Jacksonville (for example, a minimum of 30 credits for a 120-credit bachelor's degree). Credit by examination and credit for prior learning do not count toward this residency requirement.
Fulfill the 36 college credit Florida General Education Requirements (note: 45 semester hours of required General Education for the B.S.N. degree and 51 semester hours of required General Education for the Bachelor of Science in Biomedical Sciences degree), including the required core course options as listed in s. 1007.25(3) Florida Statue and State Board Rule 6A.14.0303;
Demonstrated competency in civic literacy in accordance with s. 1007.25, Florida Statutes (F.S.) and State Board of Education Rule 6A-10.02413, Florida Administrative Code (F.A.C.). Pursuant to guidelines established by Senate Bill 1108, competency is demonstrated by completion of one of two civic literacy courses (either AMH 2020 or POS 2041) with a grade of C or higher AND by achievement of the standard score on a state-approved assessment;
Fulfill the Foreign Language requirement. Students may fulfill the requirement by demonstrating foreign language proficiency (at the intermediate level) equivalent to 2-years in high school or a sequence of two college credit courses in a single foreign language. Alternative options that will be considered include the following:
1. Successful completion of two sequential high school credits in one foreign language as listed in s. 1007.262 Florida Statute and State Board Rule 6A.10.02412. The student is responsible for sending official high school transcripts to the Registrar's office for evaluation.
2. Submitting a transcript from the country of origin; exit test scores or certificates not acceptable. Students may be required to have an English translation performed, at students' expense, by a member of the National Association of Credential Evaluation Services (NACES) (visit https://naces.org/members for a list of NACES members). Examples of acceptable services are Josef Silny & Associates and World Education Services.
3. Appropriate College Level Examination Program (CLEP) level one and two scores in French, German, and Spanish will also be accepted.
Fulfill all obligations, financial or otherwise, to the College before they may graduate.

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. (The removal of an incomplete grade does not affect students' graduation dates, since the grade change is effective at the end of the term in which the incomplete grade was assigned rather than the term in which the incomplete work was made up.)
Students who enter under the (2023/2024) catalog will be assigned to the degree or certificate requirements in effect during the 2023/2024 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 may supersede this provision.
Many courses in this catalog have prerequisite requirements and/or corequisite courses listed in the course descriptions. Students are advised to be guided by these requirements.
