Returning student admission
Undergraduate Admission

A non-refundable $40 application fee is required to process your application. 

You can pay your application fee with a bank debit or credit card online with your application.

You can also submit your application without payment and send a check from a United States bank or a bank money order in United States currency payable to “Fort Lewis College.” If you choose to send a check, please be sure your full name and date of birth are included on it.

Application fee waiver

You can request a fee waiver if you have extreme financial need. Select "yes" on the admission application when asked if you want to request a fee waiver due to financial hardship.

Secondary diplomas require a course-by-course evaluation for the United States' equivalent grade point average (GPA) by a NACES member. Once you select a company from the NACES list, request a course-by-course evaluation of your transcripts. International Education Evaluation offers discounts to Fort Lewis applicants.

We encourage you to submit a personal statement or essay as a part of your admission application. While optional, it can provide valuable information for our review process.

This is a writing sample and should be between 200 and 500 words. You can choose one of the following: 

• A Personal Statement that helps us understand who you are beyond your grades and transcripts. You might highlight your academic journey or provide context to understand your experiences thus far. 
• An essay on a topic of your choice. Something you’d like to share with the Admission Committee can be a paper you’ve written for a class that you are particularly proud of or something more you’d like us to know.
