Transfer Credit Acceptance-Applicants who have previously attended another accredited post-secondary or technical institution may be considered for admission as a transfer student. Official transcripts are required for evaluation.

Florida Statute 1007.24(7) states that: Any student who transfers among postsecondary institutions that are fully accredited by a regional or national accrediting agency recognized by the United States Department of Education and that participate in the statewide course numbering system shall be awarded credit by the receiving institution for courses satisfactorily completed by the student at the previous institutions. Credit shall be awarded if the courses are judged by the appropriate statewide course numbering system faculty committees representing school districts, public postsecondary educational institutions and participating nonpublic postsecondary educational institutions to be academically equivalent to courses offered at the receiving institution, including equivalency of faculty credentials, regardless of the public or nonpublic control of the previous institution. The Department of Education shall ensure that credits to be accepted by a receiving institution are generated in courses for which the faculty possess credentials that are comparable to those required by the accrediting association of the receiving institution. The award of credit may be limited to courses that are entered in the statewide course numbering system. Credits awarded pursuant to this subsection shall satisfy institutional requirements on the same the same basis as credits awarded by native students. The program facilitator of each program may award

15

transfer credit and hours for applicable courses and may consult with appropriate faculty in the final decision. Evaluation may take from 4 to 6 weeks.

All transfer students must submit official transcripts from the last post-secondary

institution attended and any other college(s) from which the student wishes to

receive transfer credit.

The State of Florida mandates that each student enrolled in career and technical

certificate programs of 450 hours of instruction or more, in accordance with Rule 6A-

10.040. F.A.C., must meet the required basic academic skills levels, as an exit

requirement, in reading, math, and language in order to receive a Certificate of

Completion. Basic skill levels are specified in the program’s description. FTI uses the

Test of Adult Basic Education (TABE) for this assessment and will accept TABE scores

taken within the previous two years from other institutions.

Request Transfer of Credit Requirements

All relevant courses from previously attended technical schools and colleges will be evaluated.

Course must have comparable course content

Transfer credit will be awarded to students who earned a grade of 70% or higher.

All courses must have been completed within the past five years from the date of admission and be approved by the intended program’s facilitator. Based on certain program criteria, some courses exceeding the five year range may be given consideration by the intended program’s facilitator.

Skills assessments may be required in certain programs before any transfer credit is awarded.

Eligible students with non-English transcripts are required to submit official translations of documents demonstrating a previous education equivalent to a high school graduation and official evaluations of any college-level course work before transfer credit can be considered.

16

Academic Assessment

The State of Florida mandates that each student enrolled in career and technical certificate programs of 450 hours of instruction or more, in accordance with Rule 6A-10.040. F.A.C., must meet the required basic academic skills levels, as an exit requirement, in reading, math, and language in order to receive a Certificate of Completion. Basic skill levels are specified in the program’s description. FTI uses the Test of Adult Basic Education (TABE) for this assessment.

The TABE is a diagnostic assessment and the results are reflected in grade level equivalencies, kindergarten through 12th grade.

Exemption from taking the Basic Skills Assessment

Students exempt from basic skills assessment include those who possess a college degree at the associate in applied science level or higher; those who are enrolled in an apprenticeship program that is registered with the Department of Education in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 446, Florida Statutes; those who provide official transcripts documenting basic skills assessments within the last two years, those who are serving as an active duty member of any branch of the United States Armed Services or a student who has earned a standard State of Florida high school diploma in 2007 or later. By providing all post-high school educational documentation to the admissions staff/program facilitator, the need for basic skills assessment can be determined. Exemption from passing the Basic Skills Assessment

Adult students with disabilities, as defined in Section 1004.02(7), Florida Statutes, who self-identify, may be exempt from meeting the basic skills requirements (Rule 6A-10.040). For more information, see the policy and procedures and exemption forms for students with disabilities.

If a student is enrolled in a program for which there is a licensure exam and cannot meet the basic skills levels required for completion from the final Occupational Completion Point (OCP), the student may sit for the licensure exam. If that student passes one of the exams for the program, he/she may be counted as a completer from the career certificate program. Exemptions from passing the Basic Skills Exemption as a result of passing state, national or industry licensure are limited to the certifications listed at http://www.fldoe.org/workforce/dwdframe/rtf/basicskills-License-exempt.rtf. The licensure exams for FTI’s Cosmetology and PCA programs qualify for this exemption.

http://www.fldoe.org/workforce/dwdframe/rtf/basicskills-License-exempt.rtf

17

Test of Adult Basic Education (TABE) Procedures

Students must be scheduled and take the Test of Adult Basic Education (TABE) within the first six (6) weeks after admission into the program (Rule 6A-10.040. F.A.C.).

If a student’s grade equivalent score is less than the program’s state exit requirement, the student should enroll in an Applied Academics class with Flagler Technical Institute’s General Education Department or pursue other academic assistance to ensure he/she meets the exit requirement.

meet federal and state requirements. Students are expected to take advantage of their

educational opportunities by attending all classes at the appointed time. Excessive

absences and tardiness cannot be tolerated, and are not accepted in some programs due

to mandatory attendance rules of federal and state agencies. Students are expected to

familiarize themselves with the specific requirements of their individual program. It is the

responsibility of the student to make arrangements with their instructor to make up for

time away from the classroom.
