Official College Catalog

This is the official Valencia College Catalog for the 2024-25 academic year. 

This is the governing catalog for new students entering Valencia College in the 2024-25 academic year and for any Valencia student returning in the 2024-25 academic year whose governing catalog has expired. Valencia reserves the right to make changes in the regulations and offerings announced in this catalog as circumstances require. It is expected that the only changes will be the correction of errors and the inclusion of new courses and programs approved for offering in mid-year.

Valencia is proud to be 100% smoke-free.

We are committed to providing a safe and healthy learning environment for our students, employees and visitors. In recent years, we have made improvements toward healthier campuses with the implementation of LEED-certified buildings, employee wellness programs and recycling efforts. Smoke-free campuses further promote the health, safety and well-being of members of the Valencia community by reducing exposure to secondhand smoke on Valencia campuses.

As of August 2012, all of Valencia’s campuses are smoke-free. This includes all property and facilities owned, leased or operated by Valencia including: buildings, bridges, walkways, sidewalks, parking lots and garages, on-campus streets and driveways, grounds, on-campus LYNX bus stops and shelters, exterior open spaces and personal vehicles in these areas.
