Explanation of Student
Tuition & Fee Charges
Tuition and fees partially cover the cost of a
student’s education. While students contribute
a substantial amount toward the cost of
attendance at FCC through the tuition and fee
charges listed above, the majority of funding
for a student’s education is provided by
Frederick County and the State of Maryland.
Tuition
Tuition charges are the primary source of student
revenue and partially offset the cost of instruction
at FCC. Tuition is charged based on each credit hour.
Out-of-county and out-of-state students are charged
higher tuition rates per credit hour to offset state and
county funding provided.
Special Fees for Recreation, Skiing &
Other Courses
The college charges special fees for courses that
require significant out-of-classroom experiences
which generate additional expenses. The skiing
course requires skis and lift tickets. Please refer
to the specific PE course for other fees that
may be payable directly to the site where the
class meets. Some courses may require field
trips which may also incur minimal fees.
