Determine Your Tuition Rate

As a Florida State institution, there are two tuition rates: one for residents of Florida and one for non-residents. Every applicant for admission must submit and complete the Residency Affidavit for Florida Tuition Purposes, on the Student Forms site, as a statement of their length of residence in the state. Applicants are initially designated as out-of-state until they submit the required affidavit attesting to their length of residency in Florida, along with supporting documentation.

Residency for Tuition Purposes

Initial Classification of Florida Residency

In determining a Florida resident for tuition purposes, the burden of proof rests with the applicant. All residency documentation must be reviewed and validated before residency for tuition purposes can be established. Students who are unable to provide sufficient and acceptable documentation to prove residency in their initial classification will maintain a non-resident status for tuition purposes and will be charged out-of-state tuition rates. Any changes to students' initial residency determination must be made prior to the first day of classes for the semester enrolled. Thereafter, any residency status changes during enrollment, students must request that their residency is reclassified, which will impact all subsequent enrollment periods. Students who fail to submit documentation and register for classes will be charged tuition at the out-of-state rate.

Reclassification of florida residency

Any student who seeks reclassification to a Florida resident must have satisfied the statutory requirement and must complete the Florida Resident Form on the Student Forms site, prior to the first day of classes for the term in which reclassification is sought.

appeal for reclassification

Any student who wishes to appeal the denial of Florida Residency for tuition purposes must complete an Appeal of Residency Denial form on the Student Forms site. The student must seek classification/reclassification prior to submitting a request to the college-wide appeal committee. All committee decisions are final and will be provided to the student in writing.

Residency requirements are determined by the State Legislators and are subject to change.

Submit Transcripts to broward college

Applicants are required to submit official transcripts for high school, and all colleges and universities attended. All transcript(s) provided must be complete and final with no coursework in progress.

Submit transcript(s) to Broward College using one of the formats below:

  1. Contact the previous institution(s) you attended to request your official transcript be sent electronically to Broward College (school code 001500)
  2. For schools that do not transmit electronically, mail an official and complete paper transcript(s) to:

Note: Students, who have earned 24 credit hours of Broward credit through dual enrollment or transfer credits from other colleges and universities, may present their official college transcripts in lieu of high school records unless requesting financial aid. Students who receive Federal student aid at other institutions should understand and very carefully consider that the College has access to information relative to prior institutions attended where aid was awarded. Students should not abstain from submitting prior records when seeking admission to Broward College.

Official Non-U.S. Transcripts

Students who attended a college or university outside the United States must submit a course-by-course commercial evaluation identifying upper and lower division coursework along with an English translation. Only commercial evaluation companies certified by the National Association of Credential Evaluation Services (NACES) will be accepted. The student is responsible for the cost of obtaining the commercial evaluation and translation service. Requested documents must be presented prior to registration for the student’s first term of enrollment. Students whose transcripts are not received at the college will be blocked from registering for their first term of entry/re-entry.

Apply for Federal and State Financial Aid and Broward College Scholarship

Free Application for federal student aid (FAFSA)

Students who need assistance paying their tuition and fees must complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). To be considered for grants, institutional, State, and Foundation scholarships, Federal direct subsidized and unsubsidized student loans, or work/study, a student must file a FAFSA annually for each academic year where aid is requested. Students do not need to be admitted to the College to apply for financial aid; however, before financial aid can be awarded, the student must be admitted into their program of study, and if necessary, submit all documents needed to complete the verification process and submit any additional required documentation.

Note: The Federal student aid application is available online at https://studentaid.gov . Broward College’s school code is 001500. Students and parents who file taxes are encouraged to use the IRS Data Retrieval Tool when completing the FAFSA. If selected for verification of income, students and parents who filed taxes may be required to submit copies of their IRS tax transcripts or tax returns. Non-tax filers may be required to submit a Non-Tax Filer Statement from the IRS. For more information refer to the Student Financial Aid section in the catalog or College Policy 6Hx2-5.11 .

Florida Bright Futures students are not required to complete the FASFA to be eligible to receive their Florida Bright Futures awards. However, if students want to determine their eligibility for Federal, State, and other forms of student aid, they must complete the FAFSA and all other requirements aligned to the aid source.

Determine Placement

Per College Policy 6Hx2-5.14 and Procedure A6Hx2-5.14 and as part of the admission process, all degree-seeking students (Associate of Arts (AA), Associate of Science (AS), Associate of Applied Science (AAS), Technical Certificate (TC, and Applied Technology Diploma (ATD)) may be assessed in writing, reading, and mathematics to establish their communication and computation achievement levels. This assessment includes transfer students whose achievement level has not been certified.

EXEMPTION FROM DEVELOPMENTAL EDUCATION PROGRAM AND DEMONSTRATION OF PLACEMENT

Fulfillment of one or more of the following five criteria will exempt a student from the common placement test and developmental education course requirements at BC:

Students who believe they may be exempt are strongly encouraged to schedule an immediate appointment with a Broward College Academic Advisor. The College’s professional Academic Advisors are best equipped to: assess exemption status; fully inform each student about Broward College’s wide range of developmental education and college readiness options; evaluate each student’s college readiness level, and then provide personalized recommendations regarding which resources may be in the individual student’s best academic interest, based upon past educational history and current career/educational goals.

Even students who are exempt from the demonstrating readiness for college-level communication and computation requirement have the legal right to request to take — at absolutely no cost/obligation — a common placement test (PERT or ACCUPLACER Next Generation), offered at all of our campus Testing and Assessment Centers. This is strongly encouraged. Doing so provides the student with a more accurate measurement of his/her current level of college academic readiness, which helps one better determine whether a developmental education option should be chosen and, if so, which one(s). Also, regardless of exemption status, PERT or ACCUPLACER Next Generation scores are a useful tool in choosing the right level (and combination) of college courses to take during one’s first several semesters.

NON-EXEMPTION FROM DEVELOPMENTAL EDUCATION PROGRAM AND DEMONSTRATION OF PLACEMENT

All students who meet one or more of the following nine criteria are required to complete common placement testing:

Non-Exempt students must demonstrate readiness for college-level communication and computation by taking a common placement test or through a defined alternative method of placement, which can be found on the College website at www.broward.edu/placement. Placement methods available are in accordance with Florida State Rule and Statute. The College offers two local common placement tests: ACCUPLACER Next Generation and PERT. It is important for the non-exempt student, to know that a local common placement test is not a pass or fail test, but rather a test given to determine a student’s placement level in Mathematics, Writing, and Reading. Students may also use ACT and SAT test scores that are less than two years old. Additional alternative methods of placement are also available. All students will be advised regarding their developmental education options and can choose the option that best fits their particular learning style and skill-remediation needs.

PLACEMENT TEST OPTIONS

Non-exempt students can use any of the following test options providing the scores are less than two years old:

Local Exam Options

National Exam Options

Students’ scores on ACT or SAT may exempt them from common placement testing. Non-exempt students who have not taken any of the above common placement tests, or whose test scores on any of the above common placement tests are older than two years, must take a local common placement test.

PLACEMENT IN COURSES

A student whose method(s) of demonstrating readiness for college-level communication and computation meet or exceed the statewide minimum score requirement may enroll in college-level English and Mathematics courses. Placement may be satisfied by a combination of methods.

A non-exempt student whose method of placement scores fall below the minimum in one or more of those areas shall not be permitted to enroll in college-level English or Mathematics courses until successfully completing the appropriate developmental education courses or achieving college-level placement scores that meet or exceed the statewide required minimum.

Students enrolled in developmental education courses may be eligible to enroll concurrently in certain other college-level courses. Prior to doing so, it is strongly recommended that students consult with an academic advisor and complete an Educational Plan.

Transfer students’ placement will be based on the official evaluation of credit earned at previous colleges. Demonstration of readiness for college-level communication or computation may be required.

Degree-holding students will not be required to demonstrate readiness for college-level communication or computation upon submission of an official transcript from a regionally-accredited college. However, some degree-holding students whose primary language is not English may require college-level placement. It is strongly recommended for students meeting this criteria to consult with an academic advisor.

Non-degree seeking students shall be required to demonstrate readiness for college-level communication or computation prior to enrollment in English or Mathematics courses or other courses that require English, Reading or Mathematics as pre-requisites.

ENGLISH PROFICIENCY PLACEMENT TEST

For EAP placement, non-native English-speaking students who are in one or more of the following categories must take the LOEP exam:

Before completing the LOEP exam, non-native English-speaking students should contact the Advising Office to discuss Broward College’s assortment of English language program offerings.

TEST OF ADULT BASIC EDUCATION (TABE)

Students enrolling in selected Vocational Certificate programs are required to submit recent scores, no more than two years old, from the Test of Adult Basic Education (TABE). Students who do not meet the required TABE scores, as defined by Florida State Board Rule, can begin coursework in a certificate/diploma program, but must complete remediation of skills prior to graduation from the program.

Remediation services are available in all campus Academic Success Centers. Once study is completed, students must retake the TABE and present passing scores in all areas to graduate with their certificate/diploma. TABE testing is available on each campus. Contact a campus Testing and Assessment Center for TABE testing information or visit the College website.

Students who have previously completed developmental education instruction, passed college-level English and Mathematics courses, or hold a degree, should see an Academic Advisor for possible TABE exemption.

Advisement

Complete the New Student Orientation required of all first-time in-college-students. Students may choose from a variety of schedules to select and attend one of the sessions at any Broward College campuses or centers. Students will be prohibited from registering until they attend an orientation session.

All new and continuing students are required to meet with an Academic Advisor to develop an educational plan prior to the end of their second term of enrollment. Education plans help guide students through their program of study and ensures on time completion of required coursework if courses are taken and passed in the recommended sequence.

Students who have an educational plan tend to attain success at higher levels; therefore, all students should have a career objective aligned to their program of study with an education plan that indicates which courses should be taken for completing the student’s selected program of study.

Note: Associate of Arts and Associate of Science graduates who take hours that do not apply toward their program of study and/or change their major multiple times can accumulate excess hours. The State universities in Florida charge and require students to pay a surcharge that is often higher than the tuition rate for credits in excess. Students are encouraged to have an advisement plan and take only hours required for their degree program. Federal student aid (Pell grants and student loans) is also impacted by excess hours in the pace (attempted versus earned) and maximum time frame to complete (150% of the program requirements).

Cyber advisors are also available to answer general academic questions online. For more information, visit http://www.broward.edu/studentresources/advising.
