Admission Decision
- Once your application is complete, it will take about 4-6 weeks to receive a decision.
- To check the status of your application:
Transfer Students
- Courses that are academically based and completed with a C- or better at a regionally accredited school may transfer. You can check which classes have previously transferred to Fort Lewis using our transfer equivalency table. (If your course is not included on this table, it doesn't necessarily mean that it won't transfer; just that it hasn't transferred here yet.)
- Fort Lewis College must receive your official transcripts in order to give you credit for that coursework. Official transcripts must be mailed directly from your school in a sealed envelope (faxes don't count!).
