8.3 Academic Policies and Procedures

A complete discussion and outline of the requirements for the baccalaureate degree, including Florida State University's Liberal Studies Program, can be found in the General Bulletin. All faculty should be familiar with the "Undergraduate Degree Requirements" and "Academic Policies and Procedures" sections in the Bulletin.

Faculty should be particularly aware of two requirements of the State of Florida which apply to all undergraduate students: FAC Rule 6A-10.30: "Gordon Rule" (often referred to as the "Gordon Rule") and the College Level Academic Skills Test (CLAST). Both must be successfully completed prior to graduation; they are addressed briefly below. Consult the General Bulletin and the Adviser's Handbook for more details.
