What are the competencies that are required in the courses and assessments approved in Rule 6A-10 .02413, F.A.C.?  \nGovernor DeSantis and the Florida Legislature prioritized and promoted the development of civic literacy to ensure that every college student develops:  \n• An understanding of the basic principles and practices of American democracy and how they are applied in our republican form of government;  \n• An understanding of the United States Constitution and its application;  \n• Knowledge of the founding documents and how they have shaped the nature and functions of our institutions of self-government; and  \n• An understanding of landmark Supreme Court cases, landmark legislation and landmark executive actions and their impact on law and society.  \n2. To whom does the civic literacy competency requirement apply?  \n\n| For students entering in: | The civic literacy requirement applies to: | In the following programs: | These students must: |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| 2018-19 –\u003Cbr>2020-21 | First-time-in-college (FTIC) students | Associate in Arts (AA) Baccalaureate | Pass a course OR pass an assessment |\n| 2021-22 and thereafter | Students initially entering Florida College System (FCS) under 2021-22 catalog year | AA\u003Cbr>Baccalaureate | Pass a course\u003Cbr>AND pass an assessment |\n| 2022-23 and thereafter | Students initially entering FCS under 2022-23 catalog year | Associate in Science (AS)/Associate in Applied Science (AAS) | Pass a course\u003Cbr>AND pass an assessment |\n\n3. Does “initially entering” mean the same thing as first-time-in-college (FTIC)?  \n• No. Original rule language adopted for 2018-19 limited application to FTIC students. Rule language in place for 2021-22 and beyond ensures students who are initially entering under 2021-22 catalog years and forward will be required to meet the statutory requirement to demonstrate civic literacy competency prior to the award of their degree.  \n4. Other than administrative Rule 6A-10.02413, F.A.C., are there additional state requirements governing policies on assigning catalog year and readmits?  \n• No. Policies and procedures relating to assigning catalog years are left to institutions to determine.  \n5. Can you clarify how the rule applies to students who were previously dual enrolled, to transfer students, and to out-of-state students?  \n• The civic literacy competency requirement applies to all degree-seeking students regardless of prior postsecondary coursework unless they previously met the requirement as part of another degree. This includes formerly dual enrolled students, transfer students, and students from out-of-state.  \n6. How does this rule apply to baccalaureate students who are entering with an AA or AS/AAS degree?  \n• Baccalaureate students under the 2021-22 catalog year are required to meet the civic literacy course and assessment requirement unless they previously met the requirement as part of another degree.  \n7. Is there a resource in statute or in the administrative code that defines the catalog year in effect rather than initially entering an FCS institution?  \n• No, how catalog years are assigned is at the discretion of the local institution.  \n8. Will AS program lengths be expanded to accommodate the extra coursework as a result of the rule amendment?  \n• At this time, there are no plans to expand program lengths to accommodate the requirement.  \n9.
