Frederick Community College is committed to the academic success and personal growth of our students. We recognize that the college experience presents students with new challenges in terms of decision-making, independence, and responsibility. We encourage you to allow your student to use the opportunity that their college experience presents them to develop the skills necessary for transitioning into adulthood.
We also recognize that college represents a time of transition for you as a parent. But just as college presents students with the opportunity to become more independent, it is also an opportunity for parents to move from the role of manager to consultant allowing students the opportunity to work out problems for themselves with the reassurance that you, as their parent, will be available to give advice as needed.
Allowing students to manage their own education does not mean that they will no longer need you. Indeed, despite their quest for independence, students will still need your continued support as they attempt to manage the academic and personal decisions involved in their college experience. But they will also need your encouragement to allow them to take steps on their own to manage the variety of challenges awaiting them. This will mean allowing your student to work through difficult situations with the faculty and staff at the college rather than relying on you to intervene on their behalf. And because we expect this, the college offers services and resources designed to help students develop the skills necessary to manage the demands and challenges associated with college life. Students should attend our New Student Advising Sessions; read our
, and the information on our Web site; and talk with counselors and faculty members (encourage your student to make use of their office hours) to learn about college requirements, policies and procedures, and the wide array of learning opportunities both in and outside the classroom that the college offers.
At FCC, students learn, grow, and change to become knowledgeable, mature, responsible adults, capable of managing the complex issues that the world presents them. By providing them guidance and allowing them to achieve greater levels of independence and self-reliance, students develop self confidence and the skills necessary to ensure the attainment of their educational and personal goals as they transition into adulthood.
| Frequently Asked Questions |
|---|
| 1. |
How can I ensure that my child gets into needed classes? |
|
Students should plan on registering as early as possible in the registration cycle each semester. Early registration provides the most choices in terms of classes and class times.
Students should meet regularly with an academic advisor/counselor to develop their academic plan. Counselors are experts in academic advising and transfer requirements, along with specific program requirements. They are always available to assist students in choosing appropriate courses and to guide students to needed support services.
|
| 2. |
Why is the first year of college the most important year for most students? |
|
Statistically, students who successfully complete the first year of college are the students who are most likely to obtain a degree. This first year, however, includes the most challenges, including time management and learning how to learn independently. First year seminar learning communities provide excellent opportunities to adjust to college learning and social demands.
During this first year, it is important that students begin to establish career goals based on interests and abilities. The career center can help.

| General Information |
| 1. |
How safe is the campus, especially at night? |
|
Security officers are available 24x7. Located in the Classroom/Student Center Building (Building H), the security office may be contacted at 301-846-2453, by dialing "0" on any campus phone or by using any call box located around campus.
Although there are night classes until 10:45 p.m., activity on campus slows down after 7:00 p.m. Students leaving late classes should arrange to walk to cars with other classmates, or may call on security to escort them when necessary. Security personnel wear light blue uniforms and identification badges.
The campus safety and security/crime report is available on the college’s Web site, and is updated annually to reflect current year data.
|
| 2. |
Is public transportation available? |

In many cases, there is available bus service. Pick up a schedule from the Center for Student Engagement or the College Information Center. Frederick transit buses stop at the college from 6:57 a.m. – 9:30 p.m., Mondays-Fridays and 7:45 a.m. – 5 p.m. on Saturdays. Discounted tickets can be purchased at the FCC Bookstore. Service is available for disabled riders; call Transit Services at 301.694.2065 for information.
|
| 3. |
Is there a student ID card? |
|
Students get their ID cards in the Welcome and Registration Center when they register. ID cards are used by dining services and the library, and must be shown when doing business with the college (e.g., picking up transcripts, paying bills, etc.).
|
| 4. |
Does a student need a parking sticker? |
|
All enrolled students may get a parking sticker, at no cost, in the Welcome & Registration Center, A102. Students may park in any space not designated as staff parking or other unauthorized spaces such as handicapped or reserved spaces. Students parking in unauthorized spaces will be issued citations and vehicles parked illegally, disrupting traffic flow, or creating a safety hazard will be towed at the owner’s expense.
|

How many credits should a student take each semester? |
|
Traditionally, because a four-year college degree consists of about 120 credits, students were expected to complete 30 credits per year, or 15 credits per semester to be able to complete the degree in four years. However, the amount of time it takes a student to complete a college degree is increasing. In 1999-2000, the average student completing a bachelor’s degree required 4.58 years to do so.
Part of this increase is due to the fact that most college students work while they attend college. While each student’s situation will dictate how many classes he/she can reasonably accomplish each semester, during a student’s first semester, the college will often recommend a course load of no more than 12 credits for those students who intend to be full-time. This allows the student to become acclimated to the demands of college.
Enrollment in January Term and Summer semesters provides an opportunity for students to catch up on credits if their goal is to complete 30 credits during their first year. The following chart is intended to offer some guidelines about balancing work and course load.
| Number of Hours Worked per Week |
Suggested Course Load |
| 40+ |
1-3 credits |
| 31-40 |
4-6 credits |
| 21-30 |
7-9 credits |
| 10-20 |
10-13 credits |
| 9 or fewer |
14-16 credits |
|
| 2. |
How much time should students spend studying outside of class? |
|
A general rule is that for every hour spent in class, two hours of study time outside of class are required. However, this can vary depending on the specific requirements of a course. More important than how MUCH should someone study is HOW should someone study. Studying is a skill and if students have not developed that skill, they may still struggle regardless of how much time they study.
FCC has a 2 credit course called Learning Strategies that teaches students how to study at a college level. More information about study skills, including time management techniques, test-taking and note taking strategies can be found at
http://www.howtostudy.org

| 3. |
How do I know if my son or daughter is struggling academically? |
|
The best resource for parents to determine how their son or daughter is doing in school is their son or daughter. Unlike high school, colleges do not send report cards to students' parents. Students are expected to take responsibility for their academic progress including sharing that progress with parents. Students do receive feedback from their instructors in a variety of ways including quizzes, papers, lab assignments, journals, and in-class assignments. At FCC, instructors are asked to provide feedback to students about their progress by the sixth week of the semester. This allows students to ascertain their progress early enough in the semester to get assistance or make changes in their schedule or study habits.
Free tutorial and counseling services are available to all students as needed. Students can complete a request for assistance in the Tutoring Center (Library Building), or can meet with their advisors in the Counseling Center (Student Services Bldg).
Restrictions from the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) prevent instructors from providing parents with information about a student’s progress without the student’s written permission. Therefore, parents are encouraged to maintain an open dialogue with their son or daughter about their academic performance.
If all other services fail to help your student succeed in class, you might encourage him/her to withdraw from the class before failing. Students can withdraw from classes with a grade of “W” up to the 60th day of the 15-week semester, and at the 60%-completion date for shorter sessions. See the schedule of courses for exact dates.
|
| 4. |
Will I see a report card? |
|
No, grades are not mailed to the student. Students can access their grades on the FCC student system through their student account in PeopleSoft.
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) requires that the college release grades and other student information only to the student, unless the student signs a release form allowing parents to see the information. The form is available in the Registration & Records Center.
|
| 5. |
How many classes can a student miss? |
|
At FCC, the attendance policy for each course is set by the faculty member teaching the course. Students will likely experience a range of attendance policies: some faculty may not take attendance; others may have policies which limit the number of absences a student may have before their grade is affected. The attendance policy for each course can be found on the course syllabus. Students should make themselves aware of the attendance policy for each course on the first day of class.
Some general considerations:
- Do NOT presume that missing the first class or the first week of class is OK. If a student registers for the class, he/she is are expected to be there.
- Do NOT schedule vacations during the semester. The beginning and end dates for each semester are known well in advance. A family vacation that was planned last year is NOT an excuse to miss a class.
- While illnesses cannot be predicted, routine medical and dental appointments should NOT be scheduled during class time. Routine medical appointments are not considered an excused absence.
- The number one predictor that students will succeed in college is not intelligence, not placement scores....it is the student's willingness to show up for class.
|
| 6. |
What should a student do if he/she has to miss a class due to a family emergency? |
|
The student should contact his/her faculty member prior to the class time, by phone or e-mail. |
| 7. |
Who is considered a full-time student? |
|
Students enrolled in 12 or more credits during the fall or spring semester are considered full time. There are several reasons why students are required to maintain full-time status. Students over age 18 often must be enrolled in college on a full-time basis in order to remain covered under a parent’s health insurance plan.
Students who are members of a college athletic team are required to be enrolled full-time during the semester(s) the sport is in season. Additionally, some scholarships require full-time enrollment. When a student withdraws from a course or switches his/her registration status to audit for a course, that course is no longer counted in the course load and they may drop below 12 credits. In this case, they are no longer considered a full-time student.
Being a full-time student indicates a full-time commitment to being in college. College classes do not allow time within the class period for doing homework. Therefore, students need to allow ample time outside the classroom to study. |
| 8. |
What is the Honors College? |
|
The Honors College at FCC is for students who want to increase the intellectual rigor and enrich learning through small classes (10-15 students), close interaction with superb faculty, and academic activities (e.g., research projects, field trips, and guest speakers) inside and outside the classroom. Click here to visit the Honors College Web page for more information. |
| 9. |
How can a student contact a faculty member? |
|
Email addresses and contact information are included on every syllabus. This information is also available on the college Web site. |

What is FCC’s policy on Academic Integrity/Classroom Behavior? |
|
FCC expects all students to maintain a high level of academic integrity. Regulations regarding classroom behavior and issues of academic integrity can be found in the Catalog and in the Student Handbook. Both can be found on the college’s Web site: www.frederick.edu. |
| Financial Facts |
| 1. |
When is payment for tuition and fees due for the semester? |
|
When students register in person, they are sent to the Cashier’s Office to obtain a copy of their student account summary and class schedule. The account summary lists all tuition and fees for the semester. Payment deadlines for fall and spring semester are generally about three weeks prior to the start of the semester; the actual dates are printed in the Schedule of Courses and on the student account summary. After that initial pay date, in the three weeks before the semester starts, payment is expected at the time students register.
Students who do not pay their bills, sign up for the payment plan, or have financial aid awarded and already on their account, will have their registrations dropped after the initial payment date.
|
| 2. |
Does FCC have a payment plan? |
|
FCC does have a payment plan; it requires the student/parent to pay a down payment plus a $25 processing fee. Subsequent payments are spread over two or three months, depending on the time of the year the student signs up for the plan. Payments are automatically deducted from a checking or credit card account. |
| 3. |
If my student drops, can he/she receive a refund? |
|
For 15-week sessions, students can drop and be refunded 100% of their tuition and fees during the first week of classes. The refund drops to 50% during the third week. After that time, there is no refund. For shorter sessions, the refund periods vary: see the schedule of classes for specific dates. |
| 4. |
When can we apply for spring scholarships? |
|
Between October 1 and December 1. The college’s scholarship system is named “Stars” and is online in the financial aid section of the Web site. |
| 5. |
Is there a charge for parking? |
|
No. But students must park in the right lots. All parking is clearly marked as staff, students and visitors lots. Persons parking in inappropriate lots risk being towed. |
| 6. |
Is it too late to apply for financial aid? |
|
Students can apply for financial aid any time during the year; however, all financial aid information must be completed by mid-June to ensure it will be credited to the student account prior to the fall semester bill due date. For spring, all information must be completed by November 1. If financial aid is not already credited to the student account by the time the initial bill is due for any semester, the student should sign up for the payment plan to ensure that classes are not dropped.
Students who received financial aid in the fall semester do not have to re-apply in the spring semester. However, all students must apply for financial aid each year based on the previous year’s income tax information. Students who apply by March 1 will also be reviewed to determine if you qualify for a Maryland State Scholarship. To allow enough time for your financial aid application to be processed by the time your fall tuition is due, you should apply by June 1.

| Advising, Career and Transfer Services |
| 1. |
What advising/counseling services are available for my student? |
|
Academic advising services are available to all students, and can help focus student interests on a specific goal, then assist them in developing an educational plan for meeting that goal. Even if FCC doesn’t have your student’s major, they will help find a school that does and make sure he/she takes the right courses to transfer after completing general education classes. Academic advising helps select courses needed for the degree and plan a schedule based on work and family commitments as well as the student’s learning style. Academic advisors also know about resources available on campus.
Advisors can refer students who need assistance to any/all of the various services available on campus, or assist students in interpreting/implementing processes and procedures to help make them successful. Students are encouraged to meet with an advisor as early as possible during the registration periods to schedule classes.
In addition to academic advising, students sometimes need a little life coaching as well. College can be stressful and occasionally overwhelming, especially for students juggling the responsibilities of family, work and school. Friendly and caring staff members listen to students and provide confidential support. They know who to call on campus or in the community for all kinds of help. Located in J201 of the Student Services Building, the Counseling and Advising Office is there to help (301.846.2471). |
| 2. |
What is the best way to prepare for transfer to a four-year institution? |
|
Transfer programs will best prepare your son or daughter to transfer to a baccalaureate-granting institution. If a student completes all degree requirements at FCC, he/she will ordinarily transfer as a junior. The associate of arts (A.A.), associate of science (A.S.), or associate of arts in teaching (A.A.T.) degrees are awarded when students complete all transfer programs. For more detailed information and a list of our programs, click here.
It’s a good idea for your son or daughter to contact an academic advisor. The advisor can help the student find a suitable transfer program for the major. In addition, the advisor can assist the student in selecting the right courses at FCC to ensure that credits transfer to the school of his or her choice.
College visits are very important and should be done, whenever possible, at least one, and preferably two, semesters before the student actually transfers. This is particularly important if the student plans to attend a private school or out-of-state school, as the articulation agreements may not be a solidified as they are with the U of MD system schools or nearby private institutions such as Hood College or Mt. Saint Mary’s University. The Career Center sponsors trips to selected colleges throughout the year.
FCC sponsors a College Night in early fall, and two Transfer Days during the year, where college recruiters and transfer specialists come on campus to talk with students. FCC also has a Transfer Center Web site with a variety of resources and tools to help you and your son or daughter through the transfer process.

What career services are available? |
|
The Career Services Office has resources available for each step of the students’ career planning process. Whether students are figuring out their strengths, choosing a major, wondering what their options are, thinking about transfer schools, or gathering information on employers, we can help. Career Services also administers career assessments to identify their personality type, interests, skills and values.
Career Center staff provide detailed descriptions of majors and careers, and explain which college majors lead to jobs they might want. The staff can help find a work-study job on campus if the Financial Aid Office determines that the student is. We also help students write resumes, prepare for interviews and begin a job search. In addition to suggestions specific to your needs, Career Services offers extensive online career information and resources at www.frederick.edu. Students can call, stop by, or e-mail careercenter@frederick.edu to make an appointment.
The Career Center also provides employment assistance for post-graduation, including preparation for job search. Employers looking for student help come on campus regularly to talk with students and accept applications.

Contact Kristi Mills at 301.846.2488 for more information or stop by the Center for Student Engagement located in the Classroom/Student Center Building (Building H).
At FCC students have both extracurricular and co-curricular opportunities. Co-curricular activities are linked to specific classes and provide students with the opportunity to use skills learned in that class in practical ways. Learning happens inside and outside the classroom and co-curricular activities to link these experiences.
The Center for Student Engagement publishes a calendar of all co-curricular and other events each semester.

Do students need their own computer? |
|
The answer is a qualified "No." Students can use the public access machines in the library, the open computer lab (C208) and the Writing Center (L106) to complete their assignments. Online classes require off-campus Internet access with an Internet browser (e.g. Internet Explorer, Netscape, FireFox, etc). All students are given an fcc e-mail account when they register; this account should be used for communication regarding classes and for use with Blackboard-enhanced classes.
Many courses require students to use computers and the Internet. For all developmental reading and writing classes and for as many EN101 courses as we can put into computer labs each semester, students are required to work on computers in the classroom, work on those files out of the classroom, and bring the files back to class to work on them again. Students must have pen drives to transport these files.
If your student does not have access to a computer at home then he/she must plan time to come on campus to use public machines to complete assignments.
