Section II
Campus Information
FACILITIES
Argosy University, Sarasota is housed in a 33,000 square-foot facility located at 17th Street and
Honore Avenue in beautiful northeastern Sarasota, Florida. Our intersession classes provide
distance learning students with the opportunity to interact with other learners in formats that
work for adult students. The location provides easy access from Interstate 75 at Exit 210, north
from Fruitville Road or exit 213, south from University Parkway, as well as from major streets
in surrounding communities.
Argosy University, Sarasota has been specifically designed for seminar style instruction. The
campus includes a research library, and computer systems with extensive online research
databases and data retrieval capabilities. The classrooms are organized primarily for small group
instruction, with classes normally conducted as seminars. Fire and safety inspection reports
are on file with the campus Director of Administrative Financial Services. The campus is fully
operational during normal weekday business hours. However, student services and library
hours are adjusted and/or extended to meet the needs of our learners when they are on campus
during weekends and evenings. Parking availability extends beyond two acres.
TRANSPORTATION AND HOTEL SERVICES
Argosy University, Sarasota strives to provide an educational experience with the highest
academic quality in a variety of flexible formats that bring students from all over the world
to study in intensive instructional sessions in Sarasota. Since many of our students are adult
learners with careers and permanent residency in locations outside of the Sarasota area, we
provide resources to accommodate the needs of those students. Resources include:
• A list of area hotels where we have negotiated special rates.
• The Argosy University, Sarasota Shuttle Service, which runs between the campus and a list
of area hotels to provide students with transportation to and from the campus during most
on-campus intersession meetings. Reservations are required; contact the campus directly
for further information.
• Information about the Sarasota/Tampa Express Shuttle that provides round trip service to
and from the Tampa International Airport (fees are applicable).
• Menus and delivery services available from local restaurants.
These resources are updated for currency and posted throughout the campus and at
www.argosy.sarasota.edu.

STUDENT ADVISEMENT
FACULTY ADVISOR
Student advising is an important part of the Argosy University, Sarasota program. Upon admission to a program, each new student is assigned a faculty advisor, who will guide the student
in the selection of courses and general academic matters. As soon as a student is accepted to
Argosy University, Sarasota, he or she should make an appointment with his or her advisor.
Before the appointment, each student should have a list of program courses and a rough outline
of the course plan ready to discuss with his or her advisor.
CHANGING ADVISORS
In the event that a student and his or her faculty advisor are unable to develop a harmonious
working relationship, the student may request a new faculty advisor, upon written request to
the college chair or program chair. If the college chair is the advisor for whom the student
seeks a replacement, the written request should be directed to the campus Vice President of
Academic Affairs.
6
SCHEDULING APPOINTMENTS WITH FACULTY MEMBERS
All faculty phone or in-person appointments are scheduled through each college’s faculty
administrative assistant. First call 800.331.5995 and ask for the appropriate college:
• College of Business
• College of Education
• College of Psychology and Behavioral Sciences
• College of Undergraduate Studies
If voice mail answers, leave a message that includes your name, ten digit telephone number,
and the purpose of the appointment (e.g., advising, tutorial, online course, intersession, comps
or dissertation).
Once an appointment is made, please call in or arrive at precisely the scheduled time for
the appointment.
Appointments are scheduled every half-hour so students may not call in or arrive early or late.
For phone appointments, tell the receptionist that you have a phone conference and give the
professor’s name. Please note that students who habitually miss scheduled appointments will
not be given further appointment times until an agreement is reached with the instructor .
EMERGENCY PROCEDURES/CLOSINGS
MEDICAL EMERGENCY
Information is posted throughout the campus concerning hospitals, walk-in clinics, and
emergency medical services that will accept students as patients. Students may call the Student
Services Office or the campus president’s office for further information or referral assistance.
During evening and weekend classes, course instructors can assist in providing emergency
assistance or referrals to appropriate emergency services, and can notify the appropriate
administrative staff.
• If it is determined that the situation requires immediate medical attention, the nearest
individual should dial 911 for an ambulance (state your name, address of Argosy University,
Sarasota, 5250 17th Street, Sarasota) and describe the situation in detail.
• If the medical problem does not appear to constitute an emergency, any individual should
only provide medical assistance to the extent that he or she is properly trained to perform
it.
• If the individual requires only minor assistance, first aid can be administered using the
first aid kits available at each college reception desk, at each college secretary’s desk, at the
library circulation desk, in the Admissions Department or in the Student Services Office.
• The campus possesses a defibrillator kit which is located in the first floor lobby near the
elevator.
A number of campus staff members have been trained in its proper use. Individuals are
strongly discouraged against attempting to use the device during a medical emergency,
unless they are both trained and certified in its use.
• Attempt to obtain information relating to the incident, and keep the individual as comfortable and calm as possible until medical personnel arrive or the situation is otherwise resolved.
• Members of the Argosy University, Sarasota community who assist in or witness medical
emergencies should report such incidents to the Student Services Office and/or the campus
president’s office.
7
WEATHER EMERGENCY
If a weather emergency occurs during business hours, the campus president, or another
administration representative, will attempt to notify those students and employees scheduled to
arrive on campus, (within the time affected by the weather emergency), to remain at home until
further notice. Students and employees already on campus will be instructed to seek shelter in
specified areas or return home, depending on the extent and duration of the impending weather
emergency. If a weather emergency occurs or is expected to occur during non-working hours,
the campus president will attempt to notify employees and students of the expectations for the
next school day. When the campus president or other administration representative makes a
decision to cancel scheduled classes or close the campus due to an emergency, the necessary
information will be released to the local radio stations, currently including WSRZ 107.9, WCTQ
106.5, WDDV 92.1, WTZB 105.9, WAMR 1320, and WSRQ 1450.
Upon declaration of an emergency and the implementation of the disaster plan, only those
employees directly involved in securing the facility and equipment should remain on campus. If
the emergency allows no time to seek shelter elsewhere, employees and students should relocate
themselves to interior hallways and rooms and away from windows, doors and exterior walls.
Optimal shelter can be achieved through remaining in hallways along elevator shafts and near
firewalls. During such an event, no students or employees should attempt to operate phones or
electronic equipment, except to call for emergency assistance if the situation requires. Under
no circumstances should doors or windows be opened until the situation is determined by the
National Weather Service to no longer be a threat.
FIRE EMERGENCY
If a fire is observed on campus, the primary objective is to prevent personal injury or loss of life
to those present on campus. The safety of equipment and assets is secondary to this concern.
The individual first observing the fire should immediately activate the fire alarm and dial 911
for the fire department (state your name, address of Argosy University, Sarasota, 5250 17th
Street, Sarasota) and describe the situation in detail. Individuals inside the building should be
told to leave through the nearest exit. While waiting for assistance to arrive, the nearest fire
extinguishers can be utilized to protect the structure and equipment. This action is only to be
considered when done safely without the risk of personal injury, and should in no way prevent
anyone from seeking safe exit from a dangerous situation.
REPORTING HEALTH OR SAFETY HAZARDS
Students should immediately report health or safety hazards to the Student Services Office or
the campus president. Any accident or injury, no matter how slight, should also be reported
immediately.
CHILDREN AND FAMILIES OF STUDENTS
From time to time, children accompany parents to our campus. If you are conducting a short

DRUG-FREE WORKPLACE AND CAMPUS
The use of illegal drugs and the abuse of alcohol on the campus of Argosy University, Sarasota
or in facilities controlled by the Argosy University, Sarasota are prohibited by college regulations
and are incompatible with the Argosy University, Sarasota goal of providing a healthy educational
environment for students, faculty, staff and guests. The following information is provided in
compliance with the Drug-Free Schools and Communities Act Amendments of 1989.
EFFECTS OF DRUGS AND ALCOHOL
Although individuals often use drugs and alcohol to achieve a variety of effects on mind and
body that are found to be temporarily useful or pleasurable, drugs can be highly addictive and
injurious. A person can pay a price in terms of his or her physical, emotional, and social health.
This price can be paid in a number of ways. The risk of contracting sexually transmitted diseases,
including AIDS, is increased through unwanted or unprotected sex when one is under the
influence of drugs or alcohol. Drugs can be the trigger for violent crime. Economic and legal
problems usually follow directly when one tries to support a drug habit by resorting to crime.
The dependence, illness, loss of job, and loss of family or friends that can result from drug or
alcohol use and abuse can be tragic.
In keeping with the mission of Argosy University, Sarasota and the requirements of state and
federal law, Argosy University, Sarasota has adopted this program to ensure a drug-free campus

STATE OF FLORIDA AND FEDERAL SANCTIONS
Florida criminal statues provide for drug offense penalties in relation to the nature of the
offense, the drug involved, whether the offense is a first offense or subsequent offense, and in
some cases, the amount of the drug involved.
• Unlawful purchase or possession of any drug in Schedule I or Schedule II (includes but is
not limited to cocaine, heroin, morphine, hallucinogens and cannabis) carries a sentence
of up to five (5) years imprisonment for a first offense and up to 10 years imprisonment
for a subsequent offense.
• Unlawful manufacture, sale, delivery, or possession with intent to sell, manufacture, or
deliver these drugs carries a sentence of up to 15 years imprisonment. A subsequent offense
can result in life imprisonment.
• Unlawful purchase, possession, manufacture, or sale of marijuana carries a prison sentence
of 1 to 15 years.
Drug trafficking (selling, manufacturing or possessing large quantities of illegal drugs) carries
minimum mandatory prison terms and fines under Florida law as noted below:
Cocaine

3 years and $50,000
(200-400 grams):

Morphine, opium, heroin

15 years and $100,000
(28 grams – 30 kilograms): 25 years and $500,000
Marijuana
(25 - 2000 lbs.):
3 years and $25,000
(2,000-10,000 lbs.):
7 years and $50,000
(10,000 lbs. or more):
15 years and $200,000
Mandatory sentences increase in proportion to quantity.
Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs carries the following penalties:
First conviction: Fine of no less than $250 nor more than $500 and imprisonment for not
more than 6 months.
Second conviction: Fine of no less than $500 nor more than $1,000 and imprisonment for not
more than 9 months.
Third or subsequent conviction: Fine of $5000 and imprisonment for up to five (5) years.
If the DUI causes the death of another person, the fine is up to $10,000 and a prison sentence
of up to 30 years.
Furnishing alcoholic beverages to, and purchase or possession of alcoholic beverages by any
person under the age of 21 is prohibited by Florida law. The sentence is up to 60 days imprisonment and a fine up to $500.
21
Federal penalties and sanctions for illegal possession of a controlled substance include the
following:
First conviction: up to 1 year in prison, fine of $1,000 to $100,000, or both.
Second conviction: at least 15 days and up to 2 years imprisonment, $5,000 to $250,000 fine,
or both.
After two drug convictions: at least 90 days and up to 3 years in prison, $5,000 to $250,000
fine, or both. Special federal sentencing provisions for possession of crack cocaine include a
mandatory prison term of at least 5 years and up to 20 years, fine of up to $250,000, or both,
for a first conviction if the amount of crack exceeds 5 grams, for a second conviction if amount
exceeds 3 grams, and for a third or subsequent conviction if the amount exceeds 1 gram.
Additional federal sanctions may also apply including forfeiture of vehicles used to transport
controlled substances, denial of federal benefits including student loans, grants, and contracts
and denial or revocation of certain federal licenses and benefits.
CONVICTIONS FOR DRUG-RELATED OFFENSES
Any student convicted of any drug-related criminal statute must notify the registrar, in writing,
no later than five (5) days after such conviction regardless of where the offense occurred. This
is because under federal and state laws, any student convicted of a drug-related felony offense
must be denied all federal and state assistance, including Pell Grants. However, a criminal
conviction shall not be necessary to find that a student has violated these standards of conduct,
and Argosy University, Sarasota need not, and ordinarily will not, defer its own actions and
sanctions pending the outcome of any criminal proceeding.
DANGER SIGNALS INDICATING A DRUG OR ALCOHOL PROBLEM
Following is a listing of classic danger signals that may indicate the presence of a drug or
alcohol problem:
• Abrupt changes in mood or attitude
• decreased efficiency at work or at school
• Frequent absences, tardiness, and/or early departures
• Relationship problems with family, friends, and co-workers
• Unusual outbursts of anger and hostility
• Social withdrawal
COUNSELING
Abuse of alcohol or drugs can lead to dependency and addiction, with serious consequences
for personal health and overall quality of life. There are drug and alcohol counseling, treatment,
and rehabilitation facilities available in our area where students and employees may seek advice
and treatment.
