As a major within the School of Journalism and Graphic Arts, one of your biggest jobs will be to ask questions so you can gather information for your reports or your designs.
But you don’t need to worry about questions regarding the resources you need as a current student. We’ve already gathered up common policies and forms that you may need as you take your classes, and we also have a list of job and internship opportunities so you can accumulate practical experience.
Understand the processes and get the forms you need for changing your major, requesting an excused absence or filing a grievance or complaint.
As stated in Florida statute (1007.25), every first-time in college (FTC) student initially entering a Florida College System institution or state university in 2018-2019 and thereafter must demonstrate competency in civic literacy.
