Register for Classes/Fill out the Advising Questionnaire 

First-year students

Your Skyhawk Advisor creates your personalized class schedule and it will be sent to you mid-June. It will have information about how to schedule an appointment with your advisor to finalize your schedule, ask questions, and choose your First-Year Launch course.

Returning and transfer students

You will receive an email to schedule your advising and registration appointment with your new Skyhawk Advisor after you've submitted the questionnaire. If you submit your transcripts in time, the Registrar's Office will complete your official transfer evaluation before the appointment.

Advising Questionnaire opens:

• Spring: December 1
• Summer: April 8
• Fall: May 1

Complete the Advising Questionnaire in your admission portal so you can be registered in classes.

Submit final transcripts

Have the school or institution that issues your transcripts or an authorized third-party vendor send your official final transcripts directly to us; do not send in-progress coursework. You might be eligible for more scholarships if you have a higher cumulative GPA than what you provided before you were admitted. Email the Financial Aid Office at finaid_off@fortlewis.edu if this applies to you.

First-year students

Your high school must fax, email, or mail your final official high school transcripts to us. Contact your former institution to find out how to order transcripts for any dual/concurrent enrollment courses. The Admission Office fax number is 970-247-7179.
