CONTINUING EDUCATION
RECORD
Please contact the Welcome Center in writing to
obtain a copy of your noncredit course record.
Course records contain a student’s complete
noncredit course history as of July 1, 2001.
Beginning fall 2004, the record also records
whether a CEU-bearing course was successfully
completed.
The Continuing Education Certificate is an
informal award (does not count towards a
degree or academic certificate requirements)
offered by Frederick Community College. The
certificate is awarded in identified noncredit
instructional areas for individual courses or an
identified sequence of courses generally totaling
90 or more hours of instruction leading to an
occupational objective. Instruction typically
consists of noncredit learning experiences but
may also include credit coursework.
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 post-
secondary institutions, both public and private,
generally receive such funding and must,
therefore, comply with FERPA. FERPA applies
to all education records maintained by a post-
secondary 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 must
contact the Welcome Center (in writing) with
their request. Contact the Welcome Center for
additional information.
ALTERNATE CALENDARS
FCC continuing education classes are held at
several off-campus locations. Each off-campus
location is closed on specific dates for a variety
of reasons (e.g., Parent-Teacher Night, special
holidays, etc.). The first night of class, your
instructor will discuss information about any
holidays or closings which affect your classes.
