ANNOUNCEMENTS
Articulation Agreement with Community Colleges
Because of the misleading headline and some inaccuracies in the Reporter article on the Articulation Agreement,
I have sent the following letter to the Editor of the Reporter:
With reference to this week's story on the Articulation Agreement with Florida's Community Colleges,
please allow me to make an important correction. The Agreement does noj; mean that "D" Transfer
Students will now be accepted, while they were rejected in the past~as was incorrectly reported in the
story and the headline. Transfer students have always been admitted or rejected based on their overall
academic record, and that will continue unchanged in the future. On occasion transfer students with "D"
grades have been admitted in the past, if their overall academic record was good. That will continue in
the future. The only change is that if transfer students with an A.A. degree are admitted, we are obligated
to accept credit for 60 credit hours, even if some of those courses have "D" grades. Because of our
concern about this we have added another level of protection for academic integrity. All A.A. applicants
for admission who have one or more "D" grades will be evaluated for admission by the Admissions
Committee, which is a faculty committee dedicated to protecting the academic quality of the student body.
If an applicant has a poor overall academic record or too many "D" grades, he or she will be denied
admission. This is why I feel confident in saying that academic standards will not decline and we will
protect the integrity of a Stetson University degree.
From: Gene Lubot, Provost
