Third Attempt at Broward College

A higher education course attempted three or more times is considered a third attempt (3rd attempt). Broward College charges a higher tuition rate for 3rd attempt courses. The cost of a 3rd attempt course is calculated using the average of the relevant System Totals taken from the Florida Department of Education 2017 Factbook, tab 7.7T of the Florida College System 2015-16 Annual Cost Analysis Cost per Credit Hour.

Advanced & Professional Upper Level: 216
Advanced & Profession Lower Level: 185
Post-Secondary Vocational: 275
Developmental Education: 248
Educator Preparation Institute: 222
Post-Secondary Adult Vocation: 325
Average: 245.17
1471/6=245.17

In-state on-campus or online tuition fees are charged at a rate of $245.17 per credit hour for courses taken three or more times (3rd attempt). However, the on-campus out-of-state tuition fee per credit hour remains unchanged for courses taken less than or more than three times. Third attempt tuition for out-of-state online courses includes the per credit hour 'Out-of-State Tuition Fee,' which is the difference between the in-state 3rd attempt per credit hour fee and the total of the in-state per credit hour tuition fee plus the differential per credit hour tuition fee. Consequently, this information applies to both lower and upper-level courses. >

$245.17 – ($82.00 + $104.00) = $59.17 >>
