The A.S. degree program encompasses courses in two basic areas. One area is specialized courses, which provide specific training in a program of study. The second major area of courses is general education. General education courses are designed to help develop a well-rounded individual and enhance employment potential.
Civic Literacy Requirement
In addition, A.S. degree seeking students initially entering a Florida College System institution fall semester 2022 or thereafter must satisfy the Civic Literacy requirements as laid out in Florida Department of Education Rule 6A-10.02413 (see Associate in Arts, A.A. ).
Graduation Requirements
In order to be awarded the A.S. degree, students must meet the following requirements:
- *Earn a minimum overall grade point average of 2.0;
- *Complete the required courses as set forth in the college catalog or as approved by the program director;
- *Complete a minimum 25% of all credit hours required for graduation through SJR State;
- Pay all fees and discharge all other obligations to the College;
- File an application for degree conferral by the date specified in the academic calendar.
* College Initiated Degree Conferral Policy: When a student has met these requirements, conferral of the degree will be indicated on the student record. Students will be notified of this status in advance and will be provided the opportunity to be excluded or to apply for a diploma.
The student may choose to satisfy the degree/certificate program requirements of either the catalog in effect when initial registration occurred or the current catalog. Students who change their program of study or who re-enter after an absence of two or more consecutive major terms (the two summer terms are considered a major term) shall be required to select the catalog in effect at the time of a program change, re-entry, or graduation. In addition, students who have been enrolled for five or more years may be required to select the catalog in effect at the time of graduation.
Note: Since courses and programs may change, it may be impossible to complete courses or programs that have been deleted from the curriculum. Therefore, students who are seeking an Associate in Science degree or a certificate for a catalog year other than when initial registration occurred, or at the time of graduation, must submit a catalog year petition change form through an advisor and be approved by the appropriate vice president.
