Billing & Payment
FINANCES

Add an authorized user to your Student Account Suite so they can view and manage bill payments. Authorized users can be any third party a student wants to allow access to their Student Account Suite. 

Census (sometimes called Census Date) is the official count of student enrollment at FLC; we count at the end of the 12th day of classes for fall, spring, and summer terms, which always falls on Tuesday of the third week of courses. The summer term has only one Census date, even though courses have various start dates.

Census dates for 2025-26

• Fall: Tuesday, September 9, 2025
• Spring: Tuesday, January 27, 2026
• Summer: Tuesday, May 19, 2026

Parking permits are REQUIRED for all vehicles on campus. You can pay online, charge to your Student Account, or pay in person and pick up your parking permit at Skyhawk Station.

This hold means you have a balance on your student account at FLC of over $1,000. Balances for each semester are due on the Census date. Check the Academic Calendar. If this hold is on your account, it means your total FLC balance is over $1,000 after the Census due date.

Action required:

• You need to pay down your balance to $1000 or less. You can pay your bill online or in person at Skyhawk Station.
• If you have questions or need help making a plan to pay your balance, contact or visit Skyhawk Station for information on billing or financial aid.

This hold will prevent you from:

• Registering for classes in any future semester

Online (credit, debit, electronic check)

Make a payment with a credit or debit card (Visa, MasterCard, Discover, or American Express) or an electronic check with a bank routing and account number.

Payments made with a credit or debit card will be assessed a non-refundable service fee of 3%. You will see two transactions on your credit card or bank statement: one for the service fee and another for the amount paid towards the student account.

To avoid this non-refundable service fee, we encourage you to pay with an electronic check.

• Pay my bill
• Pay my student's bill (Authorized users)

In person or by mail (cash, check, money order)

You can pay in person at Skyhawk Station with cash, check, or a money order. Make checks payable to Fort Lewis College. Please identify the student’s name or student’s ID number in the memo field.

Checks can also be mailed to:

Wire transfer

Please contact the Skyhawk Station at 970-247-7301 or email Skyhawk Station for wire instructions.

Paying your balance in full by the due date isn't the only option. Enrolled students can choose from the following payment plan options for the current term:

• 3-installment payment plan
• 4-installment payment plan
• Pay in full by the Census date (the enrollment cutoff, typically the third week of the term)

To set up a payment plan, log in to your student account or contact the Accounting Office.

Staying enrolled next term

• To register for a future term, your account balance must be below $1,000.
• If you miss a scheduled payment, you'll be removed from your payment plan. Depending on your remaining balance, a hold may be placed on your account that could affect future registration.
• If you miss your final payment and still owe more than $1,000, you'll have two weeks from the date that payment was due to bring your balance below $1,000, otherwise you may be dropped from your next term's courses.

Need a plan across multiple terms?

If you need a payment arrangement that spans more than one term, your plan will need to be set up manually. Contact the Accounting Office and a Student Billing Specialist will work with you directly.

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.

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.
