What is the Gordon Rule?

Answer 1

Gordon Rule - Communication and Computation Skill Requirements The State of Florida State Board of Education has developed a policy on "College-Level Communication and Computation Skills," known as the Gordon Rule. This rule requires students entering college or university study for the first time to successfully complete, with grades of "C" or higher, 12 credits of writing and 6 credits of mathematics as a requirement for admission to the upper division. The 12 writing credits must be distributed as follows: 6 credits of English course work (College Writing 1 and 2) and 6 credits of additional course work in which the student is required to demonstrate college-level writing skills through multiple assignments. For the computational requirement, 6 credits of mathematics must be in courses at or above the level of college algebra.
