Federal regulations require that every institution participating in Student Financial Assistance (SFA) programs monitor recipients to ensure that they are meeting satisfactory academic progress standards. SFA programs at Broward Community College include Federal Pell grant, Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity grant, Federal Work Study, Florida Student Assistance grant, Academic Competitiveness grant, Federal Subsidized Stafford and Unsubsidized Stafford loans and Federal PLUS loans. The standards must include a qualitative measure (such as the cumulative grade point average) and a quantitative measure (such as a maximum time frame for completion of the student’s progress).
