Catalog years have been replaced with Effective Dates in Workday. You can still determine what catalog is applied to a student’s program(s) of study from their Academic Progress Report (APR) in a student’s profile under the Academics section. When viewing a student’s APR, the ‘catalog’ applied to the student’s program of study requirements will be at the top of the Major Requirements; you will see “Requirements Effective” and a date. The corresponding catalog year applied to the program of study is determined by the date range of the Effective Date in which the data resides.
See the table below to determine the catalog year crossover:
The applied catalog year can be changed easily. If you are an advisor and believe the student’s major requirements must be evaluated under a different catalog year, contact registrar@fortlewis.edu to make the change.
Different catalog years can be applied to other programs of study. For example, a student with a double major can apply a specific catalog year to one major and a different catalog year to the other.
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.

If you change your name, your new name will appear on transcripts ordered after the change has been processed. You can even request a replacement diploma that reflects your new name!
How to change your name:
If you frequently need to look up students in Workday, you can configure your search results in Workday to bring students up before other result categories.
This configuration now removes the need to type “Student:” in the search bar before entering a student’s name.
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.
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:
When reviewing a student’s eligibility request for a course section, it is important to review placement information first in the student’s profile to determine if the student has sufficient prerequisites for the course section they would like to take.
The Registrar’s Office processes two types of .
Individual Exceptions
You may request a course substitution or waiver on behalf of an individual student by submitting an Individual Exception to Graduation Request Form in the Faculty Slate Dashboard. Individual exceptions apply to one student only. The student will be notified via email when the Registrar’s Office processes the request.
Blanket Exceptions
You may also request a course substitution or waiver for an entire program by submitting a Blanket Exception to Graduation Request Form in the Faculty Slate Dashboard. Blanket exceptions apply to all students declared in a certain program on a certain catalog(s). You will be notified via email when the Registrar’s Office processes the request.
Advisors can run the Evaluate Academic Requirements report in Workday to help simulate hypothetical changes to a student's program of study. This report only looks at the Program of Study (POS) you want to experiment with and shows how degree and major requirements completed or in progress would be applied. All advisor roles will be able to run this report in Workday.
You can conduct the following scenarios in this report:
Learn how to run this report with supporting screenshots from the job aid: Evaluate Academic Requirements for Students- Running A What-If Report.
The Academic Progress Report will replace the uAchieve degree audit for viewing a student’s course and credit progress completed within a program of study and graduation requirements fulfilled or in progress. This report can be accessed anytime from the Academics section of a student’s Profile.

A new tab, called Program Completion, is now visible for advisors when viewing a student’s Academics section of their profile. This tab helps determine if a student has applied for program completion and the status of their request.
Select the Academics section in the left blue column in the student's profile. The tabs across the top will now include Program Completion. (Note. If you can view many tabs, you may need to select the More tab to see this tab.)
The Program Completion tab displays the student’s declared program(s) of study, the program completion status, and the expected semester the program will be completed. The Program Completion Status will be blank until the student applies for program completion in their final year.
Once the student completes the Apply for Program Completion task in Workday, the Program Completion Status will change from blank to “Applied for Program Completion.” Once approved, the status will change to “Approved for Completion” or “Denied.”
You may have holds that prevent you from registering for classes. You can check if you have any outstanding actions or holds to address in Workday from the Academics app.
To view the history of previous holds that have been resolved, you can navigate to your profile.
The Academics App will be your one-stop shop for most common tasks! Accessing the Academics App: Find the app on the Workday home page under "Your Top Apps" or via the "MENU" button at the top left. Here are some of the tasks you'll complete from the Academics app:
