      8. Financial Aid Application
        All eligible students regardless of financial resources should complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Students who are ineligible for Federal Student Aid (FSA) due to immigration status may be eligible to complete the MHEC One App. The FCC Federal School code is 002071. Most Maryland State Scholarships require students to complete their applications before March 1st. All students are encouraged to apply for FCC Foundation scholarships through the College online scholarship application system.
      9. Payment
        Students must make payment arrangements within established deadlines to avoid being dropped for non-payment.
      10. Class Attendance
        Students are expected to attend classes as scheduled. Non-attendance may affect enrollment status and eligibility for aid or benefits.

    The College reserves the right to refuse readmission to a former student who has unsettled financial obligations at the College or who has not complied with previous disciplinary requirements.

  2. Enrollment Process for Continuing Education Students
    1. Requirements

      To be a Continuing Education Student at FCC, students must complete a Continuing Education Student Profile using Lumens. All Continuing Education accounts must be created in the student's name and date of birth, not the person creating the account. Becoming a Continuing Education student does not admit the student for credit instruction. Some programs are designed for specific age ranges and have restricted access for registration based on birth date. Some courses require prerequisites or pre-testing and are noted in the Continuing Education schedule of classes.

    2. Enrollment Steps
      1. Open Enrollment Courses — Most courses are eligible for online registration through the Continuing Education & Workforce Development online registration system. Students may also register in person to submit the registration form needed. Payment for tuition and fees is due at the time of registration. If a student is receiving a scholarship or the class is paid for by a third party, supporting documents must be included when registering. Courses which have prerequisites require placement testing or testing exemptions and are noted in the Continuing Education schedule of classes. These courses or programs require that a student submit the documents needed for registration in person or electronically.
      2. Contract Courses — Students receiving instruction under contract with an employer or other external partner will be enrolled as Continuing Education students. Students will be required to complete an online registration through Lumens or complete a registration form prior to the beginning of class. Some contract courses have prerequisites. There are no fees or tuition charged to the student for contract courses.
      3. Adult Education and ESL — Students seeking ESL or Adult Basic Education classes may need to attend an orientation and must complete program assessments (not via the FCC Testing Center) to be placed in the appropriate class level.
  3. Additional Requirements for Specific Students
    1. Transfer Students

      A student may be enrolled with advanced standing. The transfer of a course will be considered based on its transferability and in compliance with the Code of Maryland Regulations (COMAR).

      FCC adheres to the general education and transfer policies of the Maryland Higher Education Commission. Students transferring from a Department of Education approved institution will have all applicable coursework with a grade of "D" or higher accepted in transfer, with the exception of ENGL101 which requires a grade of "C" or better. Please note that some FCC programs of study require a grade of "C" or better in all (or some) courses.

      All transferable coursework will be added to a student's record within 20 business days. A maximum of 75% of the credits needed in an associate or certificate program may be fulfilled with transfer credit.

      The following sources may be considered as accepted forms of transfer:

      1. College-level coursework at accredited institutions are recognized by the U.S. Department of Education;
      2. Credential assessment or credit by examination (e.g., CLEP, Advanced Placement, DSST (Formerly Dantes), International Baccalaureate);
      3. Military courses and/or experience with American Council on Education credit recommendations.
      4. Educational Programs at non-Collegiate organizations with American Council on Education credit recommendations.
      5. Credit earned through high school articulation agreements with Carroll, Frederick, and Washington counties.
      6. Credit earned through other articulation agreements at the College;
      7. Prior learning credits earned through portfolio assessment and/or institutional departmental exams once enrolled.


      To be considered for advanced standing, a student must:

      1. Complete the College admissions procedures.
      2. Arrange for the previous institution(s) attended to send an official transcript or provide an official copy in an unopened, sealed envelope (More details: visit Incoming Transfer Students).
      3. Arrange an appointment with a College academic advisor to plan their program of study.
      4. Complete at least 25% of degree, certificate, or letter of recognition credits at FCC.


      All transcripts received are the property of the College and cannot be released to the student. Transcripts will not be duplicated, returned to the applicant, or forwarded to any other college, university, individual, or agency. A student who experiences extreme hardship in obtaining official copies of their transcripts may petition the College Registrar for assistance by completing a third-party release form. These documents will be available only to an individual involved in the admissions and/or advising process. Transfer students with no placement test exemptions will take the standard entry assessments.

      International students considering transfer must follow the procedures for Nonimmigrant (F-1) Students and Students with Other Visas, in addition to the requirements set forth in this section.

    2. Students Seeking Credit for Prior Learning

      Prior Learning Assessment (PLA) evaluation is conducted of a student's work experiences, workplace training, professional licensure and certifications, military training and service, volunteer activities, life experiences, credits earned by standardized testing, and volunteering and community service activities which can be used to demonstrate college-level learning. Credit for Prior Learning is not awarded for experience alone, but for a combination of experience and college-level learning mastered through a variety of experiences. PLA consists of several pathways designed to allow students to have their college level learning completely assessed.

      For students to be eligible to earn prior learning credit, the student must be an FCC student and declare a major in a degree or certificate program.

      PLA Guidelines:

      1. Students may earn up to 75% of the credits required for a program of study through all Prior Learning Assessments pathways.
      2. Students must earn at least 25% of the credits required for a program at FCC.
      3. A maximum of 15 credits can be earned through 'Portfolio Assessment' and 'Institutional Department Exams.'
    3. Non-immigrant (F-1) Students

      The College is authorized under federal law to consider applications for enrollment of non-immigrant alien students in the F-1 visa status. All applicants who reside outside the United States and do not possess a visa to study in the US must apply for an I-20 form to obtain a student visa (F-1) before enrolling at Frederick Community College with the exception of students participating in the FEMA Credit Conversion Program and related academic credentials, specifically a degree, certificate, or letter of recognition for the Emergency Management Online (FEMA Independent Study) program. A prospective student must meet academic and College admission requirements, and the requirements for the certificate of eligibility (I-20 Form) prior to applying for the F-1 Student Visa or requesting a change of status to F-1. International students studying at FCC must pursue a full course of study of 12 credits per fall and spring semester toward an approved associate degree.

      International students who do not possess a visa and do not apply for an I-20 form are ineligible to complete a Change of Major or pursue academic credentials outside of the ones related to the Credit Conversion Program. There are some programs that are not eligible to F-1 students; refer to the International Student webpage for a list of programs that are not approved.

    4. Students with Other Visas

      International students with other types of visas are also eligible to attend the College. Tuition rate will be determined based on the visa type noted on the student's application, which is certified by signature. Per federal regulations, individuals in B-1 or B-2 visa status are prohibited from enrolling in programs of study that lead to a degree or academic certificate.

    5. Credit-seeking English as a Second Language (ESL) Students

      A credit-seeking ESL student must:

      1. Complete and submit an application for admission.
      2. Take the Accuplacer ESL exam in the Testing Center (allow three hours for testing) and obtain a copy of the Accuplacer ESL exam results.
      3. Obtain minimum placement scores on the Accuplacer ESL exam to enroll in Academic ESL courses. Students whose scores fall below the established minimum will be limited to enrollment in Basic or Targeted ESL Continuing Education courses until such time that they are able to demonstrate proficiency required for enrollment in Academic ESL courses.
        1. If the minimum score for Academic placement is achieved, students should arrange to meet with an academic advisor.
        2. If the minimum score for Academic ESL placement has not been met, students must arrange to meet with the ESL program manager. The ESL program manager will assist students in determining which Continuing Education ESL program is appropriate for them and help them complete the registration process.
      4. A student is required to make payment arrangements and/or pay their bill within the established timeframe.


      Note: The ESL program manager can assist credit and continuing education students with academic decision-making at any time. If a student is not sure which courses to take or has questions about their study plan, meeting with the ESL program manager is recommended.

    6. Students Participating in the FEMA Credit Conversion Program and Related Academic Credentials

      Individuals who live outside the United States and do not possess a visa do not need to apply for an I-20 form to participate in the FEMA Credit Conversion Program and related academic credentials, specifically a degree, certificate, or letter of recognition for the Emergency Management Online (FEMA Independent Study) program. These students must arrange to meet with the Emergency Management program manager before applying through the FCC credit application. If approved, the program manager will assist these students in completing the registration process.

    7. Students without a High School Diploma

      Persons without a high school diploma who are 18 years old or older, and who demonstrate college readiness through placement testing are eligible for admission and to register for credit and continuing education courses. Students without a high school diploma have limited access to financial aid. Students may meet with a financial aid representative to discuss their college financing options. Students should also visit the Office of Adult Education to get information about how to earn a high school diploma while concurrently studying at FCC.

    8. Registered Sex Offender

      FCC requires registered sex offenders (RSOs) to self-disclose their status and receive approval from the College to register for courses. In accordance with Maryland law, RSOs are required to register with the designated law enforcement agency in the jurisdiction where school enrollment is sought.

      Per the FCC Admissions Policy, admission to the College may be denied or revoked for those persons whom the College considers to be a potential danger to the safety, security, and educational environment of the College. Such decisions will be made on a case by-case basis with individuals being afforded notification and explanation of the decision and an opportunity to respond.

      The Maryland Department of Campus Police and Public Safety and Correctional Services maintain the Maryland Sex Offender Registry, which provides information about RSOs to the public. The Registry is located on the web at http://www.dpscs.state.md.us/.

  4. Selective Admissions Programs

    Admittance into selective admission programs is on a competitive basis, and there are program-specific entrance requirements beyond those required for admission to the College. Program-specific courses are open only to students officially accepted into the Program. Admission to FCC does not guarantee entry into a Selective Admission program.

    1. Health Science Selective Admission Programs
