The Seahawk Summer Academy is a summer bridge program for recent high school graduates or first-time college students. Interested students must complete the admission processes at Broward College to register for classes.

Join us this summer, earn four or six college credits, participate in fun activities and field trips, and form a learning community with peers as you start your higher education journey at Broward College.

All Seahawk Summer Academy courses are held during Session 3 only in the Summer term. Classes start in June and end in July. Students must attend classes on-campus weekly, and some courses may also use Broward College's online platform, Desire2Learn (D2L). Scholarships are available to eligible students who meet all program registration requirements and deadlines.

Interested in Registering but Still Have Questions

Follow the steps below to register for your Summer Academy classes:

  1. Complete the Broward College admission application to become a Broward College Student with a valid BC Student ID
  2. Receive a letter or notification from Broward College that you are successfully admitted and are a current Broward College Student
  3. Connect with an advisor or a student success coach for the next steps
  4. You will receive a notice to attend New Student Orientation (NSO). This is where you will register for the classes. An NSO staff will help you through the registration process.                                      You may receive a notification to attend a JumpStart session. If you do, a Broward College recruiter/staff will help you through the admissions process during and after your JumpSart session. Your coach or advisor will guide you through all the steps until you are able to register for classes.

 

Students are encouraged to complete a Free Application For Student Aid (FAFSA). The FAFSA you should fill out is for the 2024-2025 year, and our school code is 001500.

Visit the college Financial Aid page for more information.

IMPORTANT: Students who successfully meet all the eligibility requirements for the Seahawk Summer Academy scholarships and remain enrolled in the Summer Academy classes the entire summer will be awarded on an ongoing basis until the first day of classes (Summer, Session 3).

For additional scholarship opportunities, visit Broward College's Scholarships page and complete the scholarship application.

Wait! Did you receive notification of being a Broward College Student yet?

You may not be able to register for the Seahawk Summer Academy classes if your admission process is incomplete or if you have a registration hold. Contact your academic advisor or success coach as soon as possible.

If you attended a Jumpstart recruiting event and were scheduled to attend a New Student Orientation. Please check your class schedule and make sure you attend your session. This is the best option you have to receive one-on-one assistance with this process.

Students must complete all admission requirements and be successfully admitted at Broward College (or be a current eligible Broward College student with a valid BC Student ID Number).

A registration hold may stop you from registering for your classes. Contact your Broward College Academic Advisor or Success Coach as soon as possible.
