Dual Enrollment

Enrollment of FCPS students in credit bearing college courses offered by FCC while still in high school.

Open Campus

High school students complete a college course on the college campus or through the college’s online program. The course may be during or outside of the school day. Courses are taught by FCC full-time or adjunct faculty.

High School Based

FCPS, in partnership with FCC, provide students the opportunity to enroll in college courses that are taught at their high school. Students gain exposure to the academic challenges of college while remaining in their supportive high school environment. The goal is to have courses taught by trained, qualified high school teachers.

Accuplacer Tips from the FCC Website

Relax! The Accuplacer is not a test you can pass or fail! Scores on a placement test like this help you determine whether your current level

• f knowledge and skills will help you succeed in a college course. This

test also helps you to identify your academic strengths and

• weaknesses. Think of it as a thermometer… you can “test the health”
• f your reading, writing, and math performances. If you are not college

ready, there is still time to get the help you need to improve underdeveloped skills before heading off to FCC or any other school.

Tips continued

Rest up! You will be able to concentrate better on the test if you get plenty of rest and eat properly before the test. Consider arriving a few minutes early to give yourself time to gather your thoughts and relax before the test begins.

Tips continued

Give it some thought! Read each question carefully until you understand what the question is asking. If answering an item requires several steps, be sure you consider them all.

Tips continued

Get familiarized with Accuplacer! The Accuplacer is a placement test that is used across the nation. Be sure you understand the directions for each test before that test session begins. If you have a problem or question during the test, raise your hand and the test administrator or proctor will help you. Although they cannot answer test questions for you, they can help you with other types of problems.

Tips continued

Make every effort! Be sure to answer every item. You are not penalized for guessing. Your score will provide more useful placement information if you answer every item, even if you guess. Don't be afraid to change an answer if you believe that your first choice was wrong.

Tips continued

Stay positive! Believe in yourself, you can do it! Positive self-talk will also help reduce your test anxiety!
