Withdrawing from Fort Lewis College

Students who are registered for classes and decide not to attend have the responsibility to cancel their registration with the College by using WEBOPUS and following the appropriate procedures outlined below. Non-attendance does not constitute withdrawal.  New students, please click here. 

Prior to the first day of the term, students must cancel their registration through WEBOPUS. Students should select the "Student Services & Financial Aid" link followed by the "Registration" link. Students should select the "Add/Drop Classes" option from the Registration Menu and then select the appropriate term and drop all their classes prior to midnight on the day before the term begins.

Beginning with the first day of the term, students must officially withdraw from the current term using WEBOPUS. Students should select the "Student Services & Financial Aid" link followed by the "Registration" link. Students should select the "Withdraw from the Current Term" option from the Registration Menu, read all the information provided, and then click on the "Submit Withdrawal from Current Term" button to process their official withdrawal. An official withdrawal completed beginning with the first day of the term (or failure to complete withdrawal), will result in tuition and fee charges according to the Pro-rata Schedule available here.

Official withdrawals are accepted only through the last day of classes for any given term, and will not be permitted during finals week.

Students who have applied for housing and/or financial aid have other responsibilities associated with official withdrawal, and should contact those offices directly. Students who receive financial aid and then withdraw may be required to pay all or a proportionate amount of aid received. Repayment amounts are determined in accordance with Federal, State, and institutional regulations and policies.

Students who live on campus must officially check out of their housing with their RA or RD within 48 hours of the official withdrawal from the term. Policies concerning refund of room and board charges are published in the Tuition and Fee Brochure available at the Cashier Window and the Student Affairs Office in Berndt Hall, and are also available electronically under "Withdraw from Current Term" in the Registration Menu in WEBOPUS and also under "Your Right To Know" on Fort Lewis College's Homepage. The Student Housing Office can be reached at 240 Miller Student Center, (970) 247-7503. The Financial Aid Office can be reached at 101 Miller Student Center, (970) 247-7142.

If a student experiences problems with any of the above process using WEBOPUS, he/she must contact the Registrar's Office immediately at 160 Miller Student Center, or call (970) 247-7350.
