College Academy @ BC
Student Performance Contract
Section 1007.273 Florida Statutes requires that each student participating in a collegiate high school program must enter into a student performance contract. A sample schedule is attached. Please review the guidelines and sign the form below.
Students attending the College Academy @ BC are working toward a 24-credit high school diploma and an associate of arts degree.
Students must attend all classes punctually every class day. There are probably no factors more important to a student’s progress in school than regular and punctual school attendance. A College Academy @ BC student is expected to: attend class as scheduled; arrive at school and class on time; and demonstrate appropriate behavior and a readiness to learn. A student’s absence will only be excused for reasons approved in the Broward County Public Schools Attendance Student Code of Conduct. Student absences must be reported to the College Academy by a parent/guardian within 48 hours of the absence to be excused. Students attending Broward College classes should consult the course syllabus for attendance procedures.
Students are required to maintain full time student status each semester, a minimum of four classes (excluding labs) or 12 credits, which ever is greater. Juniors must participate in Term 3, 2A. Seniors take courses during Term 1 & 2, unless a course is needed to fulfill the AA degree and/or HS diploma.
Students at the College Academy @ BC must maintain a minimum unweighted high school GPA of 3.0, and good attendance and exemplary disciplinary records. A Broward College dual enrollment GPA of 2.5 is required to remain at the College Academy @ BC. Students that do not earn a satisfactory grade (C or better) in a class will be scheduled to retake the class.
In addition to obtaining their high school diploma and associate in arts degree, College Academy students now have the option to complete a CAPE Industry Certification in Accounting, Networking, and Criminal Justice. Students who choose to pursue an industry certification are required to enroll in a BC course that aligns with competencies outlined in the CAPE industry certification. Certifications will be awarded only when students demonstrate competency or proficiency on a written exam given in a proctored environment by a third party agency.

Student conduct is governed by the Broward County Public Schools Student Code of Conduct and Broward College Student Handbook. College Academy @ BC students are required to abide by the guidelines outlined in BC’s Student Handbook, which contains the academic calendar, code of conduct, students’ rights and responsibilities, grading and evaluation process, academic dishonesty, disciplinary procedures, as well as accommodations provided for students with disabilities. No exceptions to these guidelines will be made for dual enrollment students. The student handbook is published on line at: http/www.broward.edu
While appropriate for college-level study, course materials and class discussions may reflect topics not typically included in secondary courses, which some parents may find objectionable for minors. Courses will not be modified to accommodate variations in student age and/or maturity per the articulation agreement between Broward Schools and Broward College. The student schedule for 2015-2016 is attached.
I have read the Student Performance Contract and agree to abide by the policies, procedures, conduct required and the consequence of returning to my school of residence should I fail to uphold the standards set forth in this documents.
