General Guidelines & Important Information
Youth 2021 Summer Programs

Kids and teens learn more when they have the opportunity to discover and explore exciting topics in safe and fun environments. That’s where we come in. We provide engaging experiences and expert instruction in person and online for a fun-filled summer of learning. To ensure everyone enjoys their time at Frederick Community College in person and online, we ask that you please read through the following Youth Programs rules and guidelines.

Face to Face Classes
In person face to face class sizes are limited and a wait list feature is available. All CDC, State of Maryland, and Frederick County guidelines will be followed. 

Covid-19 Update
FCC is currently in Stage 2 of the FCC Roadmap to Resilience and Recovery plan and is working to increase the number of in-person classes while continuing to comply with public health and safety standards. Classes are available in Online, Structured Remote and Hybrid Remote formats. On June 7, 2021, FCC will move to Stage 3 of the FCC Roadmap to Resilience and Recovery plan, with plans to enter Stage 4 on August 2, 2021. Learn more >>

Attendance and Dismissal
Attendance is taken daily. Students will be signed in and signed out of classes by the instructor. Parents should bring their child to the class no earlier than 10 minutes prior to the start of the class. There is no supervision prior to this time. Parents take full responsibility for child’s behavior & safety. At dismissal, students will be supervised until picked up. Please be prompt!

Students attending class on main campus not picked up by 12:15 pm will be escorted to the Conference Center (Building E) to await pickup. Students attending class at The Monroe Center not picked up by 12:15 pm will await pickup inside FCC's inner lobby at The Monroe Center.  

The Monroe Center
Frederick Community College Monroe Center is located at 200 Monroe Avenue, Frederick, MD 21701. Directional signs will be placed in the lobby entrance. All students who participate in classes at the Monroe Center must sign a waiver at frederick.edu/TAM. Waiver MUST be signed before any student can participate in classroom activities.

Dropping a Class & Refunds
If your child will not be able to attend a course, please notify us immediately. Students who choose to drop a class will receive a full refund provided that the request is received by the CEWD Registration Office the Monday prior to the start date of the class being dropped. Students may withdraw from a class by emailing the CEWD Registration Office at CERequest@frederick.edu. Email requests must be submitted from the email account on file. Requests for drops or refunds left on voicemail will not be processed. Refunds will not be made for non-attendance. Students requesting a refund for a dropped class outside of the full refund period must make the request in writing to the Associate Vice President of CEWD, and be accompanied by documentation supporting the student's request. Appropriate documentation may include electronic or hard-copy documents from medical providers, employers, child care providers, or others that can validate extenuating circumstances. The College reserves the right to approve or disapprove full or partial refund requests that are submitted outside of the full refund period. Contact us with questions at 301.624.2888.

Medications & Emergencies
FCC staff are not authorized to administer any non-emergency medication (prescription or non-prescription) to students. Emergency medications can be administered by FCC staff with written authorization from a physician and parent/guardian. Emergency medication includes a rescue inhaler or epi-pen. If medication must be taken while the student is on campus, the parent/guardian is responsible for coming to campus to administer the medication. 

In emergencies requiring immediate medical attention, your child will be taken to the nearest hospital emergency room. Your signature below authorizes the responsible person at Frederick Community College to have your child transported to that hospital.

Parental Consent Agreement 
No student may be on campus unsupervised. I approve of my child's enrollment in the Kids on Campus/Teens on Campus enrichment program and take responsibility for my child's compliance with appropriate student behavior. Disruptive and inappropriate behavior will not be tolerated and will result in dismissal. Students dismissed from the program will not receive a refund.

College Photography & Video
Because FCC is a public institution, photography or video recording of students, employees, & visitors in common areas on campus or at ceremonies and events may appear in print or electronic marketing materials without permission.

Sign language interpreters will not be automatically provided for College-sponsored events without a request for services. To guarantee accommodations, requests must be made at least five workdays in advance of a scheduled event.

Phone Usage
Cell phones must remain off during class session.  If you need to reach your child while class is in session, please call our office at 301-846-2661 and a message will be immediately delivered to your child.
