-
Students who begin dual enrollment at an FCS institution in fall of 2018 or later are required to satisfy the requirement.
Who is
exempt from meeting the Civic Literacy Competency requirement?
-
Students who have earned college credit and were enrolled at an FCS institution prior to fall 2018 are not required to satisfy the requirement.
-
Students who were in dual enrollment at a postsecondary institution prior to fall 2018 are not required to satisfy the requirement.
-
Students who are admitted to an FCS baccalaureate degree program are not considered to be first-time-in-college as they are assumed to have enrolled and earned college credits at a postsecondary institution prior to fall 2018; they are considered transfer or continuing students and thus, do not need to satisfy the requirement.
