Buying/Renting Books
Visit to see what
books and materials are needed for your
courses. You may order books to be shipped to
your address, or to be held for pick-up at the
FCC Bookstore, which is located on the first
floor of the Student Center.
Some course books are available to rent from
the FCC Bookstore. All book rentals must be
secured with a credit card, and may be paid for
with cash, check, or credit card. Students must
be 18 or older to rent books and must provide
a valid Student ID. Students younger than 18
must have a parent sign for the rental.
Books cannot be rented through our website.
You cannot use financial aid to order books
online. You must come to the Bookstore
with your student ID to purchase or rent
books with financial aid.
Family Educational
Rights & Privacy Act of
1974 (FERPA)
FERPA, commonly known as the Buckley
Amendment, was issued by the Department
of Health, Education and Welfare in the
1976 Federal Register. The regulations were
transferred to the Department of Education
when it was established and codified in Part 99
of Title 34 of the Code of Federal Regulations.
The purpose of FERPA is to afford certain rights
to students concerning their educational
records. FERPA applies to all schools that
receive funding under most programs
administered by the Secretary of Education.
Most postsecondary institutions, both public
and private, generally receive such funding
and must, therefore, comply with FERPA.
FERPA applies to all education records
maintained by a postsecondary institution, or
by any party acting for the institution, which
are directly related to the student. These
include, but are not limited to, assessment
test scores, academic standing, rosters, class
schedule, or any information that would make
the student’s identification easily traceable.
FCC may release directory information, which
includes student’s name, dates of attendance,
and enrollment status–see the FCC catalog for
a complete list.
Students wishing to restrict directory
information or grant additional access must
contact the Welcome Center (in writing) with
their request within two weeks of the start
of the semester. A new form is required each
academic year. Contact the Welcome Center
for additional information.
