Our new Learning Commons gives students a state-of-the-art facility where
they can collaborate and work toward their future.
Please read the following requirements before registering for an online or hybrid course.
Frederick Community College offers two types of courses over the Internet: online courses and hybrid courses. Hybrid courses require the student to
attend some class sessions on campus; online courses do not.
Both online and hybrid courses are taught on Blackboard™ and require that the student:
• Have internet access through broadband connection or Wi-Fi (wireless)
• Have access to a Windows, Mac, or Linux computer
• Windows 7 or higher, Mac OS X, or Linux with Ubuntu 14 or higher
• Internet Explorer 8 or higher, or the most recent version of Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome, all with the most recent Java and Flash updates
applied
• Establish a myFCC e-mail account;
• Have basic computer skills in word processing, e-mail procedures, web-browsing, and handling features such as pop-up blockers;
• Be responsible for maintaining appropriate security and virus protection when using the student’s own personal computer(s).
Students should expect to spend as much time on an Internet course as they would on a traditional on-campus course.
Students should be self-motivated to handle the independent nature of learning that occurs in online courses.
Access to Blackboard: User name Wxxxxxxx (where xxxxxxx is the seven digit student ID number); first time login
password is first 2 letters of last name and last five digits of Student ID number. If one does not work, try the other.
See page 2 for registration information.
Textbooks: Purchase textbooks from the FCC Bookstore. Make sure you select books for the online section of the course as they may differ from
textbooks used in on-campus sections. Some instructors require the corresponding access code for web resources.
Email Advising ): If you are unable to come on campus for advising services, Email Advising is available to all current
FCC students using their email accounts. Please provide your full name and Student ID number. Typical response time is 24-48 hours
depending on the information requested.
