Writing and Mathematics Requirements (Gordon Rule)
To fulfill the writing and mathematics requirement for earning the first baccalaureate degree (Gordon Rule, Florida Statutes), 6 semester hours of English coursework and 6 semester hours of additional coursework in which the student is required to demonstrate college level writing skills through multiple assignments are required. UWF has designated courses which meet this writing requirement below. In addition six semester hours of mathematics at the level of college algebra or higher are required (six semester hours of theoretical or three semester hours of theoretical and three semester hours of applied). Applied logic, statistics, and other such computation course work which may not be placed within a mathematics department may be used to fulfill three semester hours of the six semester hours required by this rule. Grades of “C-“ or better successfully complete this requirement. Courses may not be taken on the pass/fail basis. Transfer students should refer to the Transfer Credit section of this Catalog. Students must complete these requirements before advancing to upper-division status.

Normally, these requirements will be satisfied at the freshman and sophomore levels. Applicants transferring from other than Florida public community/junior colleges will be advised of procedures to follow. Students may seek assistance in improving writing and mathematics in the appropriate laboratories. The following UWF courses are approved for Gordon Rule (all courses are 3 sh unless otherwise noted):

* Math Course Restrictions

1. Credit towards Gordon Rule requirement: Students may earn only three semester hours of credit toward Gordon Rule requirement (grades of “C-” or better) for MAC 1105 College Algebra or MAC 1140 Precalculus Algebra.
2. Students should consult the Office of Admissions for evaluation of transfer mathematics courses for General Studies requirements, Gordon Rule, and credit for graduation.

Multicultural Requirement
An important component of a liberal education is the study of cultures other than one’s own. As such, multiculturalism encompasses the appreciation of the values, expressions, and modes of organization of diverse cultural communities. To further such study, the University of West Florida requires all students pursuing a bachelor’s degree to complete at least one course that explores one or more of the dimensions of another culture (language, religion, socio-economic structures, etc.).

Students are exempt from this requirement if they have completed an Associate of Arts degree or the General Education Program at a Florida public institution, or completed a baccalaureate degree.

The requirement is satisfied by the successful completion of a multicultural course designated on the following list. Several of the selections are General Studies courses, and students may enroll in these to meet both the General Studies and the multicultural requirements. This list is continually updated and students are encouraged to check with their advisors for alternative options.

College-Level Academic Skills Test (CLAST)
The College-Level Academic Skills Test is designed to measure the level of student achievement of communication and computation skills. Prior to receiving an A.A. degree or achieving upper-division status and earning a bachelor’s degree, students must satisfy the CLAST requirement.

All undergraduate degree-seeking students are required to satisfy the CLAST requirement prior to completion of 60 semester hours. Students who have completed 36 semester hours of 3000/4000 level courses and who have not met this requirement may be limited to registration of 1000- and 2000-level courses.

CLAST ADMINISTRATION
There is one administration of the CLAST on the designated Saturday of each semester. Students may register for the CLAST through the Testing Office. See the Academic Calendar for deadlines. An alternate administration is conducted on the first Tuesday after the regular administration. Students may participate in the alternate administration if they were registered for the Saturday administration but could not participate because of limitations of space or test personnel; health or religious reasons; temporary or active duty assignment in military service; participation in an authorized school-related function such as organized intercollegiate sports, debate, musical performances, etc., requiring their absence from the regular Saturday administration; or administrative error on the part of the institution. Documentation of the above is required for approval to participate in the alternate administration.

COMPUTER-ADAPTIVE TEST (CAT) ADMINISTRATION FOR CLAST
Examinees may request to take one or more of the multiple-choice subtests at one of the sites that offer the computer-adaptive version of CLAST. The essay subtest is not available via computer-adaptive test. No subtest may be taken within 31 days of an examinee’s previous attempt of that subtest. The score for any subtest taken prior to 31 days from the previous administration of that subtest will not be reported and will be invalidated. UWF students wishing to participate in the CAT-CLAST must request permission of the Testing Office. An original, completed certification of eligibility form must be mailed from the Testing Office to the CAT site administrator before the student may make an appointment for testing. An advance payment is usually required for each administration. A list of CAT- CLAST testing sites is available in the Testing Office.

DISABLED EXAMINEES
Disabled examinees who require special test conditions, such as braille or taped versions, specialized mechanical equipment, flexible scheduling, or specialized assistance, need to request special arrangements when they register for the test and provide evidence of the need for special test conditions.

ALTERNATIVE OPTIONS FOR CLAST
Students may meet one or more of the CLAST subtest requirements by achieving a minimum score on the CLAST or meeting any combination of the requirements of the alternative options. The determination of meeting CLAST through alternative means will be decided only by the Office of Admissions or the Registrar.

Students may meet the alternative means for CLAST by:

1. Earning a 2.5 GPA in specific college level courses in the recognized subject area; or
2. Presenting minimum required scores on the SAT or ACT.

Refer to the chart for acceptable courses and test scores.

UWF honors alternative options approved by other Florida public community colleges and universities with a transcript showing CLAST was met or with an official letter from the Registrar of that institution.

Alternative options for CLAST apply to associate and baccalaureate degree requirements. Students considering Florida teacher certification should contact the Teacher Education Student Services for teacher certification CLAST requirements.

WAIVER OPTIONS
Four Time Rule (Florida Statutes)
Students who have taken a subtest of the CLAST at least four times and have not achieved a passing score, but have otherwise demonstrated proficiency in course work in the same subject area, may request a waiver of that particular subsection.

In accordance with FAC 6A-10.0311, the following minimum requirements must be met for a CLAST waiver to be considered:

1. You must have taken the CLAST at least four times and not earned a passing score on the subtest for which you are requesting a waiver
2. You must have earned a minimum GPA of 2.0 in all college credit courses in the subject area(s) for which the waiver(s) is requested
3. You must have completed all Gordon Rule requirements in English and mathematics (Courses which would meet Gordon rule are required even if the student is exempt from courses.)

In addition, you must provide the following documentation:

1. A letter indicating the subtest for which you are requesting a waiver and the reasons which you think support the waiver.
2. Copies of CLAST scores from all previous attempts.
3. Transcript(s) noting all college credit courses in the subject area of the subtest in which you are requesting a waiver.
4. Documented evidence of a minimum of 20 hours of remedial work* in the subject area from a qualified source since the first time of failure of the CLAST and prior to the last attempt of the CLAST.
   
   *Remedial work may include lower level courses beyond those required for the degree, documented lab work in the failed subtest area, evidence of seminars or workshops completed in the failed subtest area, and written statement from qualified tutors. This documentation must include the duration of the preparation and the topics covered. All of the documentation presented should have been attempted and dated between the time you failed the subtest and your last attempt. Students requesting a waiver of the English Language Skills or Essay subtest should also submit three or four samples of graded work read by faculty or Writing Lab personnel, and score range of practice essays. You must demonstrate that you have mastered the skills for the subtest at the CLAST passing level.
5. Evidence of any test adaptations already provided (i.e., additional time, several brief sessions, small group setting, recording of answers, etc.), if applicable.

If you are requesting a waiver of the Reading, English Language Skills, or Essay subtests on the basis of English as a second or foreign language, you also need to provide documentation or evidence of successful completion of instructional programs for English as a second language or English as a foreign language, with a minimum grade point average of 2.0. This is in addition to the requirements listed above.

The committee shall conduct a personal interview with each student eligible to request a waiver.

A waiver may be recommended to the President upon a majority vote of the committee. The President may approve or disapprove the recommendation. The President may not approve a request which the committee has disapproved. If a waiver for a given subtest is approved based on this rule, the student’s transcript shall include a statement that the student did not meet the CLAST requirement of the subsection(s) and that a waiver was granted. For more information, or to request a waiver, contact the Office of the Registrar at least four months prior to intended graduation.

Learning Disabled Consideration
Students who in the best professional opinion of the University have a specific learning disability such that they cannot successfully complete one or more sections of the CLAST and are achieving at the college level in every area except that of the disability, and whose diagnosis indicates that further remediation will not succeed in overcoming the disability, may appeal to the Council on General Studies for special consideration. The committee shall examine the evidence of the student’s academic and medical records and may hear testimony relevant to the case. The committee may grant a waiver for one or more sections of the CLAST. Contact the Associate Dean, College of Arts and Sciences for more information or to request a waiver.

Upper Division Prior to 1983 Clause (Florida Statutes)
Students who graduated with the A.A. degree from a Florida public community/junior college prior to September 1, 1982, and who were admitted to upper-level status before August 1, 1984 are not required to successfully complete CLAST as a condition of receiving a baccalaureate degree.

Foreign Language Requirement
Florida Statutes require that students admitted to a Florida public university meet the foreign language requirement for demonstrating competency in a foreign language. Students who have earned an A.A. degree from a Florida public community college may be admitted to the upper division but must demonstrate competency prior to graduation with a baccalaureate degree.

Students completing 8-10 semester hours of American Sign Language with passing grades will have satisfied the foreign language admission requirement.

Competency may be demonstrated in the following ways:

1. Earning two credits of a single foreign language in high school or one credit in high school and the second semester (four semester hours) of the same foreign language at an accredited postsecondary institution demonstrating proficiency through the second level.
2. Satisfactory completion of two semesters (8-10 semester hours) of a single foreign language at a postsecondary institution prior to admission to UWF demonstrating proficiency through the second level. Grades of “P” are acceptable for this requirement.
3. Satisfactory completion of two semesters (8-10 semester hours) of a single foreign language at UWF demonstrating proficiency through the second level. Grades of “P” are acceptable for this requirement.
4. Successful completion of the following tests with appropriate test scores:
1. CLEP subject matter examinations.
2. MAPS-Latin examination published by the College Entrance Examination Board.
3. Proficiency examination at UWF.
5. Undergraduate transfer students are EXEMPT if:
1. They received an A.A. from a Florida public community college prior to September 1, 1989; or
2. They enrolled in a program of studies leading to an associate degree from a Florida public community college prior to August 1, 1989, and complete at least one academic course each twelve month period beginning with the student’s first enrollment in a Florida public community college and continuing until the student enrolled at UWF.

The foreign language requirement must be satisfied prior to progression to upper-division status.

In addition, each academic department may determine specific language requirements for students and will recommend or require languages and proficiencies according to individual needs, career objectives, and academic programs.

Upper-Division Status
The following criteria must be completed to achieve upper-division status:

1. Admission to the University;
2. 60 semester hours of academic credits;
3. Declaration of a major;
4. General Studies requirements;
5. Gordon Rule requirements;
6. CLAST requirement; and
7. Foreign language requirement.

Class Attendance
The University expects students to take full responsibility for their academic work and academic progress. To progress satisfactorily, students must meet the requirements of each course for which they are registered. Successful work depends to a large extent on regular class attendance.

Class attendance is regarded as an academic matter. Each faculty member will provide a written attendance policy to each class within the first week of classes. The use of attendance records in grading and handling of any excuses for absences is left to the discretion of the faculty member responsible for the course, subject to the guidelines given below:

1. Students will be excused from class to observe religious holidays of their faith. No major test, major class event, or major University activity will be scheduled on a major religious holiday.
2. Absences for imposed legal responsibilities (e.g., jury duty, court appearance) will be recognized as excused absences.
3. Absences resulting from participation in extracurricular activities in which students are official representatives of the University will be recognized as excused absences.
4. Absences for serious illness, death or serious illness within the student’s immediate family, military obligations, or other sound reasons offered by the student may be accepted as excused absences.

It is the responsibility of students to know the attendance policy of each course they are taking. Students must inform their instructor(s) of absences from classes prior to or as soon as possible after the absence. Instructors have the right to request verification for all excused absences. Students are held accountable for all assignments in each course, whether or not the assignments were announced during an absence. Faculty are encouraged to provide opportunities for students to make up examinations and other work missed because of an excused absence.

RESERVE/NATIONAL GUARD DUTY
To fulfill a reservist or National Guard military obligation of no more than two weeks concurrent with a normal academic semester at UWF, students must receive written permission for such absences from the instructors and departmental chairpersons for each course in which they are enrolled. The approval is not automatic but is discretionary with the instructors and departmental chairpersons.

Summer Semester
Undergraduate students entering one of the State universities of Florida with less than 60 semester hours of credit must earn at least nine semester hours prior to graduation by attendance during one or more summer sessions at one of the State universities. For students admitted Fall 2002 and later, all or part of the summer requirement may be met by accelerated courses completed in high school (AP, dual enrollment, etc.) or by CLEP exam.

Residency Requirement
Students must complete 30 semester hours (25% of the degree program) in a planned program at UWF. In addition, the last 30 semester hours of course work for the undergraduate degree must be completed in residency at UWF. Up to six semester hours of the last 30 semester hours of residency may be waived by appeal through the advisor, chair, and dean upon documented hardship to the student. Courses taken while on University sponsored study abroad programs count as resident credit for purposes of meeting graduation requirements. Courses taken at another institution will not meet the UWF residency degree requirement.

Recency of Credit
Undergraduate credits which are more than ten years old and graduate credits which are more than five years old may be reviewed and reevaluated for credit toward current degree requirements at UWF. Specific programs and teacher education programs may have more stringent requirements.

Transfer Credit
LEVEL OF TRANSFERRED COURSES
Courses from regionally accredited institutions with appropriate grades are acceptable for transfer credit and will be transferred at the level which the course was classified by the institution granting the credit.

TRANSFER GRADES
A “P” grade in a transferred pass/fail course may be used to satisfy General Education and Gordon Rule requirements if there is documentation provided by the student that the “P” was equal to a grade of “C” (2.0 on a 4.0 scale) or higher, or if pass/fail was the only grading system available for the transferred course.

UNDERGRADUATE TRANSFER CREDIT
Transfer credit is normally allowed for courses completed at or through other regionally accredited institutions of higher learning. No credit, however, is allowed for technical, vocational, or pre-college courses.

Credits earned from Florida public institutions will be evaluated on the basis of the Florida Statewide Course Numbering System. Those courses considered equivalent will be accepted for transfer credit at the level at which the course was classified by the institution originally awarding the credit. Courses are considered equivalent when the prefix and the last three numerical digits of the course number are the same. Courses not considered equivalent may be accepted for transfer credit at the discretion of the departmental chairperson.

All grades earned at other regionally accredited institutions are entered on a student’s record at the time of transfer exactly as earned. Such grades are averaged separately from grades earned at UWF and are not considered in the UWF GPA. Transfer grades are used in determining baccalaureate honors. Transfer courses appear on the UWF transcript.

The University accepts the A.A. degree from Florida public institutions at face value.

College work completed with satisfactory grades by a student at a regionally accredited institution of higher learning prior to graduation from high school will be considered under the same guidelines as other transfer work. The Office of Admissions must be provided an official transcript of such work.

GRADUATE TRANSFER CREDIT (MASTERS AND SPECIALISTS)
Graduate transfer credits must have been earned within five years of the date of admission and be approved by the student’s academic department. Graduate credits may be transferred from other regionally accredited institutions only when a grade of “B” or higher was earned in the graduate work to be transferred.

Students whose programs consist of 30 to 36 semester hours may have a maximum of six semester hours or two courses (whichever is greater in credit) of graduate work at other universities accepted toward their program requirements at UWF. The department chairperson’s permission is required.

Students whose programs consist of more than 36 semester hours may have a maximum of 10 semester hours of graduate work from other universities accepted toward their program requirements at UWF.

DOCTORAL PROGRAM TRANSFER CREDIT
Students who have completed an Educational Specialist degree within the previous five years at UWF can transfer a maximum of 21 semester hours of graduate credit earned beyond a master’s degree into the Ed.D. program. Students requesting to transfer course work from other institutions are advised on an individual basis. Graduate transfer credit must have been earned within five years of the date of admission and be approved by a student’s academic department. Students are eligible to transfer a maximum of 10 semester hours of graduate work from other universities.

All hours transferred into the Ed.D. program must align with the professional core and specialization course requirements. Students admitted into the Ed.D. program must enroll in at least 39 semester hours in the Ed.D. program at UWF (21 hours coursework and 18 hours dissertation). Exceptions on transfer work and the 39 hour rule will be determined by the Ed.D. Program Committee.

Students choosing to petition for a larger number of hours to be credited to the Ed.D. program must submit an “Ed.D. Student Petition” form to the College of Professional Studies Graduate Office.

TRANSFER OF CREDIT FOR MATRICULATED STUDENTS
UWF degree-seeking students completing course work at other institutions should complete and submit the “Transient Student Form.” Completion requires that the student:

1. Obtain permission of the department chairperson and advisor prior to enrollment at another institution;
2. Consult with the Director of the University Advising Center if completing the UWF General Studies requirements; and
3. Obtain certification from the Office of the Registrar for residency and degree status for students taking courses at a Florida public junior/community college or university. The determination of specific course requirements (Gordon Rule, General Studies, etc.) will be made upon receipt of the official transcript. The major department will determine course equivalency for courses in the major.
