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.
