SERVICES FOR STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES
The college provides support services to maximize independence and
encourage the integration of students with disabilities into all areas of
college life. The particular needs of each student are considered on an
individual basis. Students with disabilities are encouraged to contact
the Services for Students with Disabilities office as early as possible
after applying for admission. Reasonable accommodations, based on
documentation, are then offered to qualified students for courses and
placement testing. Students in need of sign language interpreting
services should contact the office two weeks prior to the beginning of
classes to ensure services are in place.

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.
