Seminole State Spring 2012 Generic/Concurrent Applicant

Published

Hey all, I was wondering if anyone else is on this website that is applying to the upcoming spring evening term for SSC and if so, what are your thoughts. Are you nervous? I am!

What courses did you guys use for your Humanities credit??? I was told this was the reason I was not accepted, and I was a little surprised considering I have a B.S. degree from a state university. I'm going to be annoyed if I have to take some random humanities course and wait another year to apply, but at least now I feel like my rejection is fixable.....

I got accepted into the Concurrent program for Spring and they said I need to take a humanities course at SSC by May 2013 and at UCF one of my areas of study was humanities. They said the course needs to match up perfectly to get credit.

Sorry about my earlier post - I didn't realize that information had already been posted on the UCf seminar course. Does anyone know if we had a recent level II FDLE background check for a healthcare employer, if that would be sufficient for SSC/UCF?

That's so crazy. So now I'll be on track to start...Spring 2014?? How did you manage to get accepted if you were missing the ever-important Humanities credit? It's crazy that university-level humanities isn't good enough to get you into a community college. #frustrated

They told me at I can just add a humanities course while I'm taking my nursing classes but it is frustrating. I have a lot of lower level and upper level humanities courses and none of them are being counted.

The nursing program does accept students who have not completed certain courses, but with contingencies that they complete those courses by a certain time. As far as the humanities course goes, I think you said earlier that you were from Georgia? I am not positive on this, so if I am wrong, someone please correct me, but the state of Florida college courses are coded and many of those courses match up especially on key courses which have state and/or federal academic standards, while other courses like humanities course codes, may differ from school to school. I know that quite a few of my courses were not transferred to Valencia from SSC when I attended there. That is my understanding of it as far as Florida schools go, but as far as transferring between schools over state lines I am clueless.

Honestly, I think a lot of it has to do with money! The schools want you to take as many classes there as possible. So not accepting those seemingly meaningless classes makes sense to the schools. More classes means more tuition. Also, if you look at the course materials every year for some classes, the books change every couple of years. More new books, means more money for supplying new books. That is just my opinion though.

I graduated from the University of Florida. Hence the confusion.

Go to http://www.onlineaha.org and sign up for the BLS for Health Care Providers. It's a quick and easy online course then you do a skills check at an accredited place. It's better than taking the actual class and much faster.
