2020 - 2021 FCC Academic Catalog
Other College Credit
For students transferring from outside of the
University System of Maryland, grades of “D” will
be accepted only if the cumulative grade point
average from that institution is 2.000 or higher.
Grades of “D,” however, will not be accepted for
any college course within a program of study
that requires a “C” or higher. A grade of “D”
can be used to fulfill a prerequisite unless the
prerequisite requires a grade of “C” or higher.
Transfer Agreements
In an effort to best meet the educational needs
of our students, Frederick Community College has
worked to create partnerships and articulation
agreements with many two- and four-year colleges
and universities in Maryland and surrounding areas.
Articulation agreements are explicit arrangements
between FCC and other institutions to help
ensure the maximum transfer of credits
and create other partnerships beneficial for
transfer students. Articulation agreements
are not required for students to transfer and
students should consult with an advisor to
better understand their transfer options.
