Faculty members who want to increase the capacity of a course they are instructing must email a request to registrar@fortlewis.edu. 

If you're no longer enrolled but still have a balance, an extended payment plan may be available to you.

Requirements for extended payment plans:

• Plans may not exceed 12 months
• Full balance must be paid within that timeframe
• Minimum monthly payment is $100

To get started, email the Accounting Office confirming you agree to the terms. A Student Billing Specialist will set up your plan once that confirmation is received.

Returned payment fee

A $20 fee will be added to your account for any returned payment — including returned checks and electronic payments (ACH/EFT) — due to insufficient funds.

Students can drop their classes easily and instantly from their Academics app during open registration periods.

1. Direct the student to their Academics app, accessed from the vertical menu in the portal, by hovering over the Student tile and selecting Academics.
2. From the Academics app, have the student navigate to "View My Courses," located under the Academic Records heading on the task list on the right side of the page.
3. When the student is in View My Courses, they will see an Actions column and button next to the course section name. Select Actions to see Drop and Swap options (when applicable).
4. The student can then select the Drop button for the course section they wish to drop. Course sections with multiple available meeting times will also have a Swap option to choose a different meeting time for the same course section.
5. The student must confirm the drop on the prompted page, select Ok, then Done at the bottom. 
   Note: The Action button will not be visible outside open registration windows.

Once this change is complete, the student can see any dropped classes in a separate list below the current classes table. The student's current courses can also be viewed from their Profile, under the Academics section, and from the "Current Classes" tab at the top of the section.

The U.S. Department of Education (ED) requires students to be enrolled in a degree-seeking program for federal financial aid. Aid will only cover courses that are part of your official course program of study (CPOS), including Pell grants, FSEOG grants, Iraq and Afghanistan Service Awards, Direct Subsidized/Unsubsidized Loans, and PLUS Loans.

Enrolling in courses not required for your degree may reduce or cancel your financial aid, affecting your full-time enrollment status.

Diplomas are sent out approximately 6-8 weeks after the term ends.

Fort Lewis College diplomas list degrees and majors only and Latin honors if eligible. If a student earns a certificate, that will be listed on a separate diploma. Diplomas do not include minors or concentrations, but this information can be found on a student’s transcript.

Students will only receive a diploma if they meet all degree or certificate requirements by the end of the term. Walking at graduation does not mean a student will be issued a diploma.

Students who graduate in Spring 2023 or later will automatically receive digital and paper diplomas from Parchment Award Services. Digital diplomas can be accessed after the student receives the initial email from Parchment and creates an account. Paper diplomas will be mailed approximately 72 hours after that, so students have time to update their diploma mailing address if needed.

When reading an undergraduate student's academic progress report, it is important to understand the limitations of the Credits Satisfying count at the top of the APR in the Overall Academic Progress area. This is especially important when advisors work with students nearing graduation.

• The Credits Satisfying number is also known as the TAR Bucket.
• Once an upperclassman takes 120 credits, this tally will stop at 120 credits.
• This means the Overall Academic Progress area will count to 120 without considering actual degree requirements and does not prioritize LACS 36, upper division requirements, or major requirements over electives.
• This will only become an issue for students with current registrations over 120 credits or students who have the potential to exceed 120 credits before graduating.
• This impacts the load status and distribution submitted to Financial Aid.
• Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ¸ßÇåÎÞשÂëÇøFinancial Aid policy will not pay for classes that do not apply to the primary program of study (minors, certificates, and electives that do not apply to requirements are not paid).

Advisors should consider the following when counseling students on what to take if they are utilizing Financial Aid and are concerned about meeting sufficient Undergraduate Load Status:

• Be very attentive if students are taking classes outside their primary Program of Study (POS). This can impact financial aid distribution for credit load-status calculations at any Class Standing.
• FLC's Financial Aid policy will not pay for minors.
• If the student is approaching 120 credit hours, every class needs to be a degree requirement. Taking classes outside the program of study requirements will not be paid by Financial Aid and can delay graduation readiness.
• Encourage upper-division students to focus on completing upper-division courses and requirements to fill their load status.
• Always use the primary Program of Study sections of the APR to accurately verify which courses fulfill which requirements. Do not rely on the Credits Satisfying number if students are nearing or over 120 credits.
• This concern does not apply to Graduate Students.
• If you have questions about Financial Aid Load Status or believe a student has over 120 credits, reach out to the Office of the Registrar. The Registrar can manually reorganize the TAR bucket to prioritize degree requirements over electives.

• Navigate to your Profile by selecting the photo icon at the top of the Workday portal.
• Select “View Profile”
• Select the “Action Items and Holds” section in the blue column on the left
• The tabs across the top of this section allow you to view Action Items, Active Holds, and Resolved Holds 

The Action Items tab organizes action items by Financial Aid, Admission, and Onboarding types. This section will show all action items with details regarding the action required and the resolution.  

As Fort Lewis College plans for instruction in the coming academic year, students are advised that in response to a further public health emergency or potential public health emergency such as COVID-19, some or all instruction for all or part of any particular academic year may be delivered remotely.

Any necessary adjustments to instruction will be made congruent with public health considerations. Tuition and fees have been set regardless of the method of instruction and will not be refunded if instruction occurs remotely for any part of the year.

Students and parents can find comprehensive information about undergraduate student loan repayment options on the .

There is also a repayment estimator you can use if you are:

• Curious about what your payment might be based on what you have borrowed so far;
• Beginning repayment of your federal student loans for the first time; or
• Exploring repayment options based on your income.
• We also recommend contacting your loan servicer to explore the best repayment option.

Private loans have no government subsidy. These college loans require a more stringent qualification of creditworthiness and may have higher interest rates than federal student loans.

The Financial Aid Office advises all students to use the Direct loan programs first.

Instructors have the option, but not the obligation, to drop a student from a class if the student has missed at least one scheduled class during the first four days of the term. For courses that meet online, instructors must include the form of student participation in their syllabi that will be counted instead of physical attendance. If you want to drop a student based on this policy, please follow the instructions below by 4:00 pm on the first Thursday of classes.

1. Access the Faculty Slate Dashboard
2. Select "My Class Rosters"
3. Locate the student on the roster and select "Drop from Class." This will prompt a new window to complete the request.
4. Once received, the student will be removed from the course, and the student and instructor will be emailed that the withdrawal has occurred.

Please direct any questions about this policy to .
