FCC COVID-19 Procedures

Thank you for your patience as we cautiously and strategically reopen our main campus and the Monroe Center. The COVID-19 virus is obviously still with us. We continue to follow the advice of health experts and local and state officials. We created the FCC roadmap to resilience and recovery plan based on Maryland Governor Larry Hogan's, state guidelines and recommendations from the Frederick County Health Department. This is a gradual safe path forward for classes and activities at FCC. Your safety is our first priority and we are in this together. Visit our Covid-19 Information Page to learn more >>
