FULL ANALYSIS
I. SUBSTANTIVE ANALYSIS
A. EFFECT OF PROPOSED CHANGES:
Present Situation
Florida College System
The Florida Constitution provides for a single state college system comprised of all public community
and state colleges in the state.1 This system is known as the Florida College System and is comprised
of 28 institutions. The purpose of the Florida College System is to maximize open access for students,
respond to community needs for postsecondary academic education and career degree education.
Each Florida College System institution is governed by a local board of trustees. 2
Tallahassee Community College
Tallahassee Community College (TCC) opened in 1966 as ‘Tallahassee Junior College’.3 In 1970, the
college’s name was changed to Tallahassee Community College to better reflect its community
orientation and involvement.4 TCC is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools
Commission on Colleges (SACS) to award associate’s and baccalaureate degrees.5 TCC offers
baccalaureate degrees in the following programs: nursing; business administration; elementary
education; and exceptional student education.
Florida College System Institution Name Change
With the approval of its board of trustees, a Florida College System institution may change the
institution’s name and use the designation ‘college’ or ‘state college’ if it has been authorized to grant
baccalaureate degrees and has been accredited as a baccalaureate-degree-granting institution by an
accrediting agency or association recognized by the United States Department of Education. 6
With the approval of its board of trustees, a Florida College System institution that either has not been
authorized to grant baccalaureate degrees or has not been accredited as a baccalaureate-degree-
granting institution by an accrediting agency or association recognized by the United States
Department of Education may request approval from the State Board of Education (SBE) to change the
institution’s name and use the designation ‘college’. 7 The SBE may approve the request if the Florida
College System institution enters into an agreement with the SBE to do the following:
Maintain as its primary mission responsibility for responding to community needs for postsecondary
academic education and career degree education.
Maintain an open-door admissions policy for associate-level degree programs and workforce
education programs.
Continue to provide outreach to underserved populations.
Continue to provide remedial education.
Comply with all provisions of the statewide articulation agreement that relate to 2-year and 4-year
public degree-granting institutions as adopted by the SBE.

DATE: 11/29/2023
A Florida College System institution whose board of trustees approves a name change must seek
statutory codification of such name change during the next regular legislative session.
Tallahassee Community College Name Change
In June 2023, TCC convened a task force to begin the process of seeking a name change and rebrand
for the institution.8 The task force included internal representatives from each division of the College, a
staff council, members of the Faculty Senate, Alumni and Friends Association, and Student
Government Association.9 Through a competitive bidding process, the task force also hired a
consulting firm to assist the process by10:
Providing a report that evaluates TCC’s current brand through research, surveys, and focus groups.
Developing and testing a new name and logo, if applicable, that keeps with TCC’s mission and
vision, reflects the already-defined brand position, and helps to improve its position and strength in
the market.
Developing primary logo variations and additional branding for departments and initiatives.
Providing a rebrand communications strategy and implementation plan for execution by the task
force.
As a result of the research conducted and report provided by the consulting firm, the task force
provided recommendations to the president of TCC, who evaluated them and provided his
recommendation to the TCC Board of Trustees.11 On November 14, 2023, the TCC Board of Trustees
approved the president’s recommendation to change TCC’s name to ‘Tallahassee State College’.
As TCC is accredited by SACS as a baccalaureate-degree-granting institution and the Board of
Trustees has approved the name change, TCC has met the statutory criteria to seek a name change
from the Legislature.
There may be costs associated with the name change, such as those related to signage, publication,
documentation, advertising, and other related items. These costs are estimated at approximately
$500,000, will be absorbed by the institution and expended over two fiscal years.
