Update 12-4-00
Degree Audit Available Online. The degree audit summarizes progress towards your degree. It also allows you to do “degree shopping” — to see how your credits apply toward other degree programs. To access this tool online, visit www.facts.org (academic advising and transcripts). Use your social security number as your ID and your two-digit birth month and birth year  as your PIN (e.g., Feb., 1960 = 0260). NOTE: Degree audits do not cover all the requirements related to transfer. Be sure that you meet with a counselor or advisor to discuss other requirements related to university prerequisites, foreign language, CLAST, and so forth.

Update 10-19-00
New A.A.S. and A.S. Degree Changes. A.S. degree programs now offer transferability of general education courses to the university. Five A.S. degree programs offer complete program transferability to certain university Bachelor degree programs: Business Administration and Management, Electronics Engineering Technology, Hospitality and Tourism Management, Radiography, and Nursing. The A.A.S. degree programs offer a non-transfer option with lower mathematics requirements. If you want further information, contact your A.S. program advisor.

Update 9-12-00
Nursing Program Requires College Algebra. Because of changes at the State level, Florida Community College’s A.S. degree Nursing program now requires MAC 1105 (or higher) math. Also, the program is newly designated as a “career ladder” degree program, allowing transfer to the university without additional coursework at the community college level.
