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.
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.
