Immunization Records

This record is due prior to the start of classes, but no later than September 15 for fall term, January 31 for winter, May 10, June 15 or July 20 for summer sessions. Avoid a late fee of $25 and a registration “hold” by getting the record to the Student Health Center well before these dates.
Use these forms to obtain the record from your doctor, health department, or Veteran’s Affairs office:
Send by fax (970-247-7621), mail (Student Health Center, 1000 Rim Drive, Durango, CO 81301) or e-mail (hc_immun@fortlewis.edu).
College Opportunity Fund
The College Opportunity Trust Fund (COF), created by the Colorado Legislature, provides a stipend to eligible undergraduate students to help them pay for college. Students who have been admitted to Fort Lewis College as in-state residents should apply for this stipend if they wish to reduce their out-of-pocket expenses.
Go to https://cof.college-assist.org to apply for the stipend.
