Graduation Responsibilities
You may not know quite where you are headed yet and that's just fine. After you've completed 24 credit hours of college classes, you will want to decide what career or further education at a University you wish to pursue. The reason is many programs and degrees have specific requirements. We would like to help you avoid taking extra courses. Meet early and often with your Academic Advisor, Program Director,or Center Director to stay on target.
Many students do not realize or forget that they must apply for graduation. When you have more time, visit the student link from our home page and read about how to apply for graduation.
Foreign Language Requirement
For undergraduate admission to a state university, students must have earned two credits of sequential foreign language at the high school level. If a student did not complete this requirement while in high school, the requirement can be met through successful completion of eight credit hours in one foreign language, or demonstration of proficiency by passing a CLEP (College Level Examination Program) foreign language test. Satisfaction of this university admission requirement may not satisfy a specific university graduation requirement of foreign language for certain majors. Students are encouraged determine the graduation requirements for the university they plan to attend.
The eleven public universities in Florida have a transfer manual that lists common prerequisites for each university major. The manual, available on-line recommends pre-professional courses that should be taken at the community college level in order to meet the requirements of these selective admissions programs. Also, some university programs require the second year of a modern foreign language for the baccalaureate degree. Students are advised to meet with a counselor/advisor to review these pre-professional requirements. Students should be aware that most university majors, i.e., business administration, engineering, computer science, pre-med programs, education, etc., require specific courses to be taken at the community college as part of the A.A. degree, prior to applying to the university. Failure to meet a university's pre-professional requirements for a limited access program could delay a student's admission to the program of his/her choice.
The institution from which a person wishes to graduate makes the final decision on graduation requirements and the acceptance of transfer credits.
Students are urged to allow themselves plenty of time and thought in which to plan the educational program that will guide the remainder of their lives and influence the quality of their living. Appointments to see an academic advisor/counselor at Florida Keys Community College for needed personal assessment and educational guidance should be made early and regularly.
