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.
Students may be eligible for a Bookstore Payment
Plan. Contact the Bookstore at 301.846.2463 or the
Student Accounts Office at 301.846.2456 for details.
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. There is no
expiration date for these access exceptions. Contact the
Welcome Center for additional information
