Completion Award The Continuing Education Completion Award is an informal award (does not count towards a degree or academic certificate requirements) offered by FCC. The award is given in some noncredit instructional areas for individual courses. Workforce Training Certificates Workforce Training Certificates are conferred for completion of a course or a series of courses which demonstrate acquired knowledge, proven skills and recognized capabilities within a specific industry. See page 34 for a list of Workforce Training Certificates. To be eligible to receive a Workforce Training Certificate, students must: • Complete a course or series of course identified as a Workforce Training Certificate program, as approved by the College. • No course substitutions are allowed. • Complete courses on the basis of competency. Students can request approval to transfer up to 25% of total Certificate contact hours of prior learning from an accredited institution for some Workforce Training Certificates. Workforce Training Certificates are issued each month. Workforce Training Certificate recipients do not take part in commencement ceremonies, unless they have also completed a degree or certificate. 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 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 Enrollment Center (located on the first floor of Jefferson Hall) 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. CONTINUING EDUCATION UNITS (CEU) The continuing education unit (CEU) was created to provide a standard unit of measure, quantify continuing adult education and training activities (noncredit), and serve the diversity of providers, activities, and purposes in adult education. One CEU equals 10 contact hours of participation in organized continuing education/training experience under responsible, qualified direction and instruction. To receive CEUs you must attend a CEU-eligible class, attend at least 80% of the class, and meet all class requirements. AGE REQUIREMENTS Students should be at least 16 years of age to enroll in most continuing education courses, except for those courses specifically designated for younger students. Students under the age of 16 who have completed at least the seventh grade may be permitted to enroll on a case-bycase basis. Students will be considered for such admission if they demonstrate the ability to profit from instruction based on a set of specific criteria. For more information, contact CEWD Registration at [email protected] or 301.624.2888. Certain programs or courses of study include higher minimum age for participation when the College has determined that age is a factor necessary to the normal operation of the program or activity. Minimum age is used as a measure or approximation of the level of maturity, judgment, and social independence needed for successful participation in the program or activity in addition to academic skills.
