Hey! First, I love your blog, it’s a great help to me! Second, I want to take a summer course but it says to have either a credit in an English course or any 4.0 FCE…I’m just wondering if FCE means just any 4 credits, like any courses I’ve done?

hey there,
joke’s on you: we don’t write askastudent to be helpful. we write it because we are BITTER and WIZENED old students who only derive pleasure from being annoying know-it-alls online. ha.
‘FCE’ stands for ‘full credit equivalent’ and is basically synonymous with the word credit. so one FCE, or 1.0 credits, is either one year-long course or two half-year courses.
meaning that if you have 4.0 credits, you have 4.0 FCEs.
cheers,
