What are the possible academic standing categories used by Broward College based on GPA and progress?

• A. Only in good standing.
• B. Good standing, probation, suspension, or dismissal based on GPA and academic progress as defined by the college.
• C. Always probation after first year.
• D. Standing is not defined by GPA.

Answer: (B)

Academic standing at Broward College is based on your GPA and your progress toward degree completion, and it encompasses several categories to reflect different levels of performance. The possible categories include good standing, probation, suspension, or dismissal, as defined by the college’s policies. Being in good standing means you meet the minimum GPA and progress requirements. Probation signals a deficiency and typically carries conditions you must meet to continue. Suspension temporarily bars you from enrollment for a set period due to ongoing underperformance, while dismissal is a permanent removal if requirements aren’t met after allowed chances. The other options don’t fit because they either imply only one possible status, or claim standing is always probation after the first year, or that GPA has no role in defining standing.
