4 What is a Transfer Applicant? Any student who has earned at least 12 semester hours (not remedial) of college credit following graduation from high school is considered a transfer applicant. Transfer applicants with less than 60 semester or 90 quarter hours of college work are considered lower-level transfers and are required to meet all first time in college freshman requirements in accordance with Florida Board of Education Admission Rules and the Board of Governors Admission Regulations. A minimum 2.0 grade point average in all college work is required and students must be in good academic standing at the last institution attended. NOTE: A transfer admitted pending receipt of the final college transcript with at least 60 semester/90 quarter hours must provide the final transcript prior to initial registration. Failure to complete the required hours with at least a 2.00 grade point average will result in admission being revoked. Required Documents for Evaluation A non-refundable $30.00 application fee. Official high school transcript (Speed Code: ). Official transcript from each college or university attended (current up to time of application). Completers of high school by GED must provide an official copy of test scores (as well as a partial high school transcript). Official SAT or ACT score College Entrance Examination Board (SATI); Box 592, Princeton, NJ 00850; SATI CODE: 5215 American College Testing (ACT) Program; Post Office Box 168, Iowa City, 52240; ACT CODE: 0726 Please note the required SATI components are critical reading, math, & writing and ACT include reading, math, and English/writing. Official TOEFL (TOEFL Code: 5215) score, if applicable. All applicants who do not meet the foreign language requirement must complete two semesters (or equivalent) prior to graduation at FAMU. A transfer applicant with more than 60 semester or 90 quarter hours of college work or has earned an Associate in Arts degree from a Florida College System (FCS) institution must have at least 2.0 grade point average. If an applicant has attended more than one institution, the cumulative grade point average from all institutions must be at least 2.0. An applicant must also be in good academic standing at the last institution attended. Meeting minimum requirements, however, does not guarantee admission to limited access programs. A transfer applicant with more than 60 semester or 90 quarter hours of college work must submit: An application for admission A non-refundable $30.00 application fee Official transcript from each college or university attended (current up to time of application) Official TOEFL (TOEFL Code: 5215) score, if applicable All applicants who do not meet the foreign language requirement must complete two semesters (or equivalent) prior to graduation at FAMU. Limited Access/Special Programs Any prospective student interested in applying to a limited access program may need to fill out an additional application through the department. Admittance to these programs is competitive. Students who wish to be considered must meet or exceed the minimum eligibility criteria as established by the department. For additional information please contact the appropriate departments. College of Social Sciences Arts and Humanities (Social Work) School of Allied Health Sciences (Cardiopulmonary Science) School of Journalism & Graphic Communications (Journalism) School of Nursing (Nursing) College of Pharmacy & Pharmaceutical Science (Pharmacy- Undergraduate, Pharmacy Professional) School of Architecture (Architecture) Transfer applicants with an A.A. degree from a Florida public community college or state university in Florida in an approved general education program are eligible for admission to non-limited access programs and shall receive priority admission over out-of-state applicants. Degrees earned at institutions other than Florida State Universities/Community Colleges will be evaluated on a course by course basis. FAMU accepts transfer credit from institutions that are regionally accredited at the time credits are earned. Profile Assessment admission standards do not apply if you have earned more than 60 semester or 90 quarter hours. Applicants who enroll with the Associate of Science degree must complete the general education requirements prior to admission to upper division status. 4 Florida A&M University Transfer Manual
5 All students transferring are required to earn at least 30 semester hours in residency in order to meet graduation requirements for the baccalaureate degree. Admission decisions are made on a rolling basis. This means that decisions are made after receipt of all supporting documentation. Once a decision is made, applicants will be notified via postal mail and/or . History of 2+2 Articulation in Florida Florida has developed a seamless articulation system to facilitate efficient and effective progression and transfer of students between and among public postsecondary institutions. Presently, Florida s public postsecondary education system is comprised of 11 state universities, 28 community colleges, and 40 career education centers. Rapid expansion of the university and community college systems in the 1960s and 70s made articulation between the two public systems essential. Initially, four universities were opened without lower divisions and the other five universities had severe restrictions on enrollments of freshman and sophomores. This resulted in the majority of baccalaureate degree students entering the system through community colleges. Even with the recent increases in lower division students attending state universities, community college transfer students account for approximately half of baccalaureate degree recipients within the state university system. This 2+2 articulation system requires a commitment to mutual respect, equitable treatment of transfer students, and strong inter-institutional communication. The success of the 2+2 articulation system has been made possible by the development of several state policies to support it: Statewide Articulation Agreement Established in 1971 and currently codified in Section , Florida Statutes, and Chapter 6A , Florida Administrative Code (F.A.C.)/Board of Governors (BOG) Articulation Regulation, Florida s Statewide Articulation Agreement is the most comprehensive articulation agreement in the nation. Critical components of the statewide articulation agreement include: Defining the Associate of Arts Degree as the transfer degree; Guaranteeing transfer of the general education block of credit (reconfirming a policy established in 1959); Establishing a common college transcript; Providing for articulation research studies; Calling for a common academic calendar; Creating the Articulation Coordinating Committee. Transfer Student Rights Students who graduate from a Florida community college with an Associate of Arts degree are guaranteed the following rights under the Statewide Articulation Agreement (Chapter 6A , F.A.C./BOG Articulation Regulation): Admission to one of the 11 state universities, except to limited access programs; Acceptance of at least 60 semester hours by the state universities; Adherence to the university requirements and policies, based on the catalog in effect at the time the student first enters the community college, provided the student maintains continuous enrollment; Transfer of equivalent courses under the Statewide Course Numbering System; Acceptance by the state universities of credits earned in accelerated programs (e.g. Dual Enrollment, CLEP, Advanced Placement, International Baccalaureate, and Advanced International Certificate of Education) No additional general education core requirements; Advance knowledge of selection criteria for limited access programs; and Equal opportunity with native university students to enter limited access programs. ** Note: Students who have received an AA degree at a Florida community college are guaranteed admission with 60 semester hours into the State University System. HOWEVER, admission into a specific program at a given university may not be assured. Some degree programs may include additional admission requirements (e.g., higher grade point average and/or higher test scores, additional courses or prerequisites, or auditions and/or portfolios). These programs are referred to as limited access programs. For more information, see: Summary of General Statewide Articulation Agreement The Florida Legislature has passed into law several statutes facilitating articulation between public postsecondary institutions: Section , F.S. - Statewide Articulation Agreement -- specifies that every AA graduate of a Florida community college shall have met all general education requirements and must be granted admission to the upper division of a state university (except to a limited access or teacher certification program or a major requiring an audition). See full text at: Section , F.S. - Statewide Articulation Agreement 5 Florida A&M University Transfer Manual
6 Section , F.S. - Statewide Course Numbering System -- requires the Florida Department of Education to develop, coordinate, and maintain a statewide course numbering system for public postsecondary institutions and participating nonpublic postsecondary institutions to facilitate course and credit transfer. See full text at: Section , F.S. - Statewide Course Numbering System Section , F.S. - General education courses; common prerequisites; and other degree requirements -- requires the Florida Department of Education to identify courses that meet general education requirements and common prerequisite courses and course substitutions for all degree programs at all institutions. (This is done with the expertise of standing faculty discipline committees.) See full text at: Section , F.S. - General Education Courses; Common Prerequisites; and Other Degree Requirements Chapter 6A , F.A.C./BOG Articulation Regulation - Articulation Between and Among Universities, Community Colleges, and School Districts This State Board of Education rule (and identical BOG Articulation Regulation) is considered to be the heart of articulation in Florida, and specifies the conditions under which Florida s public postsecondary institutions are required to award transfer credits to students transferring from lower-division colleges to the upper-division of public colleges or universities, or to students changing institutions prior to degree completion. The rule/regulation also provides details on: The Common Prerequisites Counseling Manual is a centralized compilation of program prerequisites that can be referenced by counselors and students in their academic planning. The Common Prerequisites Counseling Manual is compiled in a format as established by the Oversight Subcommittee of the Articulation Coordinating Committee and is considered to be the official publication of the program prerequisites. It is compiled annually and placed in a format that is accessible by all institutions. The Common Prerequisites Manual is not intended as a comprehensive advising manual. For effective academic planning, students should be referred to university catalogs and counseling manuals. Lists of Prerequisites by Program Each program of study listed in the Common Prerequisite Manual provides information regarding the required common prerequisites for that program. Some programs do not require common prerequisite courses. Others (referred to as Limited Access) may have additional requirements for acceptance into that program such as Grade Point Average or grades on specified courses. Students are advised to consult university catalogs, counseling manuals, and advisors at the receiving institution to ensure accurate academic planning. For more information, see: Statewide Course Numbering System Articulation Coordinating Committees purpose, role, and membership; General education guarantees; Requirements for awarding degrees and degree definitions; Associate in Science degree articulation agreement guarantees; Credit by examination (list of examinations and minimum scores for transfer credit, maximum credits guaranteed to transfer, and recommended course equivalencies maintained by the Articulation Coordinating Committee and reviewed annually. For more information, see: Assessment); and Transfer of credit via the Statewide Course Numbering System. Common Prerequisite Manual In 1996, institutions of higher education in the state of Florida, under legislative mandate [s (5), F.S.] and through the direction of the Articulation Coordinating Committee, established a list of common prerequisite courses for every degree program. The purpose of such a list is to provide students, especially those who plan to transfer between institutions, with information regarding the courses that they will need to take to be admitted into upper division programs. 6 Florida A&M University Transfer Manual In the late 1960s, registrars and advisors at Florida's public institutions of higher education voiced concerns about the difficulties encountered in assigning course credits to students transferring from lower-division colleges to the upper-division of universities, or to students changing institutions prior to degree completion. At that time, institutional admissions officers based transfer-credit decisions on course titles appearing on transcripts or on catalog course descriptions, rarely providing an indication of the depth and detail with which subject matter had been treated in a course. In response to the concerns expressed by admissions personnel and a concern over unnecessary repetition of courses by transfer students, Florida developed a common course numbering system to facilitate the transfer of credit for equivalent courses among the state's colleges and universities. This system, known as the Statewide Course Numbering System (SCNS) is now used at all public and selected nonpublic institutions of higher education in Florida (11 state universities, 28 community colleges, 33 participating nonpublic postsecondary institutions, and 40 area technical education centers are included in the SCNS).
7 Smooth articulation between public institutions depends to a large extent on the SCNS. The SCNS has been enhanced over the past two decades to accommodate a growing number of programs and courses. The system has shown flexibility as the scope of the listings has broadened over the years. Florida Community College Scholarship This scholarship was established to assist high achieving Florida community/junior college graduates.

The program leads to a Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree. The generic curriculum is designed in two phases: (1) pre-professional requirements which may be completed at a community college or another university and (2) professional level. The program provides the foundation of a liberal arts education as well as the nursing theory and science necessary for the full scope of professional nursing responsibilities and the knowledge base necessary for advanced education in specialized clinical practice. The Fast Track RN-BSN program is specifically designed for registered nurses who desire to obtain their Bachelor of Science degree. It offers flexible options for the educational needs of the registered nurse. The course work is structured to enhance the breadth and depth of previous education for the changing medical/health environment. BSN (Generic Program) Admission Requirements I. Pre-Professional A. Admission to the University is within the purview of the Office of Admissions. B. The length of time in the pre-professional level will vary with the educational background of the student. The student must complete pre-professional requirements before admission to the professional level. C. Admission to Florida A&M University does not automatically admit one to the School of Nursing. The School, due to clinical limitations, is a limited access program. 2. Complete all general education and science courses required by the School of Nursing. 3. Earn a grade of C in all required preprofessional courses. 4.

The program seeks to educate students who will engage in the problem-solving process with individuals, groups and communities; promote social and economic justice for oppressed people; and demonstrate knowledge and sensitivity to human diversity. Program graduates will be prepared for beginning social work practice and/or advanced standing upon entry into a graduate program of study. The social work curriculum does not formally begin until the student s junior year because it is considered an upper-division professional program. However, students need to begin taking the required liberal arts courses for the major as freshman pre-social work majors. These prerequisites compliment the general education courses required for any degree from Florida A&M University. Social work majors are required to complete 59 hours of general education/liberal arts courses and 61 hours of upperdivision social work courses for a total of 120 hours. These hours include 14 required social work courses (43 credit hours), two social work electives (6 credit hours), and a field practicum (12 credit hours) for a total of 61 credit hours.
