Explanation of Student
Tuition & Fee Charges
Tuition and fees partially cover the cost of a student’s
education. While students contribute a substantial
amount toward the cost of attendance at FCC
through the tuition and fee charges listed above,
the majority of funding for a student’s education
is provided by Frederick County and the State of
Maryland.
Tuition
Tuition charges are the primary source of student
revenue and partially offset the cost of instruction
at FCC. Tuition is charged based on each credit hour.
Out-of-county and out-of-state students are charged
higher tuition rates per credit hour to offset state and
county funding provided.
Consolidated Service Fee
Every student taking a credit course will be required
to pay a consolidated service fee per credit hour. The
consolidated service fee supports costs associated
with registration, transcripts, commencement, various
instructional and support services, technology costs,
capital expenditures including capital improvements,
parking, maintenance and repair of College
equipment/systems, and safety and security needs.
Student Activity Fee
The revenue generated from the Student Activity
Fee go into a special account administered by the
Student Government Association. These funds
provide activities and cultural events open to all FCC
students. The fee is charged on a credit hour basis for
up to a maximum of ten credit hours.
Special Fees for Recreation, Skiing &
Other Courses
The college charges special fees for courses that
require significant out-of-classroom experiences
which generate additional expenses. The skiing
course requires skis and lift tickets. Please refer to the
specific PE course for other fees that may be payable
directly to the site where the class meets. Some
courses may require field trips which may also incur
minimal fees.
