If you are selected for verification, our office needs to confirm the information on your FAFSA application before we can determine your eligibility for need-based aid. Don't assume you've done something wrong if you've been chosen for verification.
If you did not use the IRS Data Retrieval Tool, you must provide our office with an official Federal Income Tax Return Transcript for verification. If you are a dependent student, we will also need a copy of your parent's or parents' Federal Income Tax Transcript.
Tax filers can request Federal Tax Return Transcript information free of charge by:
Tax filers who cannot get an IRS Tax Return Transcript because of IRS identity theft submit a Tax Return DataBase View (TRDBV) instead along with a signed and dated statement indicating that they were victims of tax-related identity theft and that the IRS is aware of it.
The COA Budget tool helps you understand how much financial aid you might need to cover the total costs of attending Fort Lewis College.

You cannot register for a Waitlist if you have a time conflict with that course or already registered for a different section of the same course.

The degree audit system helps you keep track of your progress toward a degree. The audit is a snapshot of your academic history and includes all degree requirements, in-progress courses, transfer credits, and more.
Note: Red = missing requirements; Blue = In-progress to be completed; Green = Completed
In most cases, students who have earned an Associate degree (AA or AS) from institutions other than public Colorado institutions will undergo the typical course-by-course credit evaluation.
The Registrar's Office maintains a list of institutions with a blanket exception. All Liberal Arts Core requirements get waived for transfer students who earned an AA or AS from one of the institutions on that list.
When the Registrar's Office does a course-by-course evaluation for a student who earned an AA or AS at a non-Colorado institution not on that list, they review that institution's general education requirements to see if it is similar in structure and scope to Colorado's gtPathways. If it is found sufficiently similar, that institution will join the list.
Students must fulfill all prerequisites for Fort Lewis College courses, even if Registrar's Office waived their Liberal Arts Core requirements.
If you transferred to FLC from a two-year institution, you can combine your credits toward an associate degree while you work on your bachelor's degree through a program called Reverse Transfer.
There is no impact on your current academic standing or financial aid. This is simply a way to get the credentials you've already earned.
Use Transferology, a third-party website, to see how your credits will transfer toward a degree at FLC. It is a quick and simple process to gain access to their widely-used database of colleges and universities around Colorado, the country, and the world. If you don't see your course in Transferology, email transferinquiry@fortlewis.edu.
Instructors do not need to manage their own waitlists; they are all automated. All classes have an available waitlist except courses with a required lab with a separate CRN (e.g., CHEM 150).
Students do not need instructor permission to join a course's waitlist unless they need an override to register. You can find more information from the student perspective on the registration page.
Every course must meet under one of the formats described below unless an explicit exception has been made by the Vice President for Academic Affairs (view or download a PDF of the Uniform Schedule Grid). Additional flexibility may be available for late-afternoon classes.
For instruction types not listed below, consult Appendix A of the Academic Credit Hours policy.

We understand colleges and universities nationwide deviated from their traditional grading schemes for all Spring 2020 - Fall 2021 courses, with many moving to a version of Pass/No Pass grading scale. To account for this, we accept any course with transferable course content for which the student earned a P grade, provided that P is equivalent to a grade of C- or higher.
