All curricular students receive semester-hour credit for courses which they successfully complete.
The Board of Trustees of Fayetteville Technical Community College has been authorized by the North Carolina Board of Community Colleges to award the Associate in Arts, Associate in Science, Associate in Applied Science Degree, Associate Degree in General Education, the Diploma, and the Certificate upon successful completion of curricular requirements. Instruction in all curricula is post-secondary and requires students to be capable of study beyond the high school equivalency level for success. Each class, lab, and shop session is of 50 minutes duration. Students with academic deficiencies who require remedial work as background preparation may enroll in developmental studies courses. Developmental studies courses carry credit hours for institutional accounting purposes only and are not counted as credit hours toward graduation in any of the curricula.
