Refund Eligibility Criteria

Students may be eligible for a refund of tuition if they have actively and in good faith sought employment for the six (6) months following successful completion of the workforce program and have been unable to obtain employment within six (6) months.

To be eligible for a refund of tuition, a student must meet the following criteria:

  • Complete one of the six (6) eligible programs listed above. The student cannot be enrolled in an upper-level stackable program or any for-credit college program.
  • Earn a minimum GPA of 2.5 in the program
  • Earned all credentials and/or industry certifications required for their program and entry-level employment in the occupation for which the student was trained
  • Be legally authorized to work in the United States and meet general employer requirements (legal status, physical/mental fitness)

  • Complete at least two (2) career readiness activities with Employment Solutions, including:
    • One (1) mock interview completed while enrolled in their program
    • One (1) documented appointment with the Career Placement Specialist representing their academic pathway for employment assistance in the last semester of enrollment
    • One (1) documented attendance at an industry-related career fair, lunch and learn, workshop, virtual webinar, or other career readiness event within the last two semesters of enrollment
  • Participate in at least one (1) approved work-based learning, experiential learning, employer engagement activity such as an internship, clinical experience, job shadowing opportunity, mentorship program, employer-sponsored project, or on- the- job-training experience
  • Have an approved resume on Handshake
  • Actively seek employment related to the occupation for which the student was trained and maintain documentation of job-search activities for up to six (6) months following program completion. Acceptable documentation may include, but is not limited to, the following:
    • Provide evidence of 100 job applications
    • Provide evidence of completing at least 10 good faith interviews (e.g., documents such as an email or letter of invitation to interview, confirmation of non-selection, etc.)
    • Provide evidence of employment agency or CareerSource engagement
    • Do not decline an offer of employment. Students who receive a job offer within six (6) months of completing the workforce education program are not eligible for a tuition refund if they decline the offer due to the terms or conditions of employment, including but not limited to salary, benefits, work schedule, job location, or commuting distance. Students are also not eligible for a tuition refund if they are not hired because they fail to meet the employer's hiring requirements, including, but not limited to, background checks, drug screenings, required licensure, or other conditions of employment.

Note: Students who obtain employment within six (6) months of completing the workforce education program are not eligible for a tuition refund, regardless of whether the position is related to the occupation for which they were trained.

Students whose tuition was paid, in whole or in part, through federal or state financial aid (including Pell Grants), Broward College scholarships, grants, employer sponsorships, workforce funding, or any other third-party funding source are not eligible for a tuition refund. Tuition refunds are limited to tuition paid directly by the student.

Failure to satisfy any of the above eligibility requirements may result in denial of reimbursement under the Money-Back Guarantee Program.

How To Apply

To apply for a tuition refund under the Money Back Guarantee program, you must submit your claim and all required supporting documents to Broward College within one (1) year of completing the workforce education program. Claims received after this deadline will not be considered.
