FACT - Florida Advanced Courses and Tests

The Florida Advanced Courses and Tests (FACT) is based upon competencies and outcomes identified by course curriculum for post-secondary general education core courses and aligned to state academic standards within grades 9-12. The assessment will be offered during normal spring (March – May) K-12 testing windows. Students who pass a FACT course assessment will receive credit for the corresponding college course upon enrollment at any public college or university in the State of Florida.

Miami Dade College uses the minimum scores, credits, and guidelines for awarding credit for exams established by the State of Florida's Articulation Coordinating Committee (ACC). The chart below indicates how FACT credit will be utilized at MDC. Students transferring to a public senior institution within the State are assured that FACT credit will transfer when earned as a part of a completed Associate in Arts degree. However, it is the student's responsibility to contact the senior institution if any question exists concerning the acceptance FACT scores.

All interested students are encouraged to see an Academic Advisor before registering for the examinations. Students may earn up to 75% of their degree (or up to 45 semester credits) at MDC through credit-by-exam options. For additional information visit FACT.

Effective September 2025, pursuant to SBOE Rule 6A-10.024, F.A.C., and Board of Governors Regulation 6.006, students who pass a FACT course assessment will receive credit for the corresponding college course (MACX105) upon enrollment at any public college or university in the state of Florida.

Full statewide implementation is scheduled for the 2027-2028 school year for the U.S. History course and associated assessment that will offer students an opportunity to earn college credit in AMH 2010: U.S. History Until 1877 as well as in AMH 2020: U.S. History After 1877 and satisfy their civic literacy exam requirement.
