Time Commitment for Academic Success

At Frederick Community College, in all credit courses, students are expected to invest a minimum of two hours completing out-of-class course work for every hour of in-class instructional time. For example, in a 3-credit course, students experience at least 37.5 hours of instructional time and should invest a minimum of 75 hours in out-of-class time preparing for the course and completing assignments. In a traditional 15-week, 3-credit course, this equates to an average minimum of 5 hours per week.  For online and hybrid courses, students can expect active instructional time and ‘out-of-class’ course work comparable to face-to-face courses with the same number of credits.

Course Blackboard Requirements

Some course sections may require access to the course Blackboard website. Students enrolled in those courses are expected to participate through the Blackboard format using their own or appropriate college-available computers.
