The COA Budget tool helps you understand how much financial aid you might need to cover the total costs of attending Fort Lewis College.

If you earned an Associate of Arts (AA) or Associate of Science (AS) degree from an institution outside Colorado, the Registrar’s Office will typically evaluate your transfer credits course by course.

Some institutions qualify for a blanket exception. If you earned an AA or AS degree from an institution on the blanket exception list, your FLC Liberal Arts Core requirements are waived.

If your institution is not on the blanket exception list, the Registrar’s Office may review its general education requirements to determine whether they are similar in structure and scope to Colorado’s GT Pathways requirements. You’ll still need to complete prerequisites and requirements for your FLC degree.

If you transferred to FLC from a Colorado community college before completing your associate degree, you may be able to combine credits from both schools to earn your associate degree while continuing toward your bachelor’s degree. Participating in Reverse Transfer does not affect your FLC academic standing or financial aid.

You may be eligible if you:

• Completed at least 15 credits at a Colorado community college.
• Have at least 70 total college credits, including coursework completed at FLC.
• Transferred to FLC in Summer 2012 or later.
• Have enough applicable credits to meet the requirements for an Associate of Arts, Associate of Science, or Associate of General Studies, as determined by a degree audit.
• Have not requested that your student information be withheld.
• Have not already earned an associate's or bachelor’s degree.

If you’re no longer enrolled at FLC but attended within the past two years, you may still be eligible.

How it works

If you’re eligible, we’ll email you each March with instructions on how to participate. If you attended other colleges or universities, you’ll need to send official transcripts to your community college so those credits can also be considered toward your associate degree.

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.

For transferable coursework completed from Spring 2020 through Fall 2021, FLC accepts a P grade when the institution that issued the grade defines it as equivalent to a C- or higher.

The Colorado Department of Education's Commission on Higher Education requires students to have 750 minutes of seat time for each credit hour they earn. To prevent the College from running afoul of accreditation standards, we cannot permit time-conflict overrides under any circumstances, even if the amount of overlapping time is minimal.

However, instructors may arrange for students to take Independent Study credits instead of one of the classes. Departments can grant substitutions so that Independent Study credits satisfy a particular major or minor requirement.

"Incompletes" are issued at the instructor's discretion -- you are not required to allow a student to take an "Incomplete" for any reason. You can allow students up to one year to complete the outstanding coursework (you are not required to give them the whole year).

• An Incomplete will appear on a student's transcript with an "I" in place of a grade until one of two things happens:
  • The student completes the required coursework within the time allowed, and you submit a Grade Change form to the Registrar's Office or
  • If the student fails to complete the required coursework, the "I" will be changed to an "F" on their transcript.

What do you need to do once the student has completed the work?

For the student to get a grade for the class, you must submit a Grade Change form to the Registrar's Office. We will not accept Grade Change forms submitted by anyone other than the instructor.

All faculty and staff are required to protect students' privacy under FERPA. FERPA violations can seriously affect the institution and the faculty/staff involved. See our detailed FERPA page for specific information regarding your responsibilities as an FLC employee.

Please see our Approved Distance Education courses page for an updated list.

In most cases, the student's financial aid will be automatically credited each term when the student confirms full-time enrollment (at least 12 credit hours), registers early as a full-time student, and their financial aid file is complete.

Any financial aid funds awarded more than the direct charges due and payable to the institution will generally be made available to the student on the first day of class. The initial refund is created for the student when all aid credits simultaneously.

If the Federal Direct Parent Loan disburses after other aid has been credited, a refund will be produced for the parent borrower unless designated otherwise on the Federal Direct Parent Loan promissory note.

Fort Lewis College does not have designated aid for summer. Summer financial aid is usually limited to Federal Direct Loans and, in some cases, a Federal Pell Grant. To be considered for summer financial aid, students should:

• Be enrolled in at least 6 credit hours during the summer to be considered for Federal Direct Loans
• Have a valid FAFSA application on file
• Not be on academic separation
• Not be on financial aid suspension
• Not have borrowed their annual loan limits
• Not have reached their lifetime Pell Grant or Federal loan limits

Students MUST consult with the Financial Aid Office before adjusting their summer schedule to avoid having to pay back any of their summer aid.

After registration, your financial aid offer will be viewable in Workday.

Considering taking an "Incomplete"? Here's what you need to know:

• Incomplete Grades are issued at the instructor's discretion -- instructors are not required to allow a student to take an Incomplete for any reason.
• The instructor can allow you up to one year to complete the outstanding coursework. They are not required to give you the whole year to complete the coursework.
• If your instructor agrees to let you take an Incomplete, you have the option to fill out the Incomplete Grade Request form.
  • You will outline the agreed-upon terms on the form, including the coursework you need to complete and the time frame for completing it.
  • Both the student and the instructor must sign the form. 
• An Incomplete will appear on your transcript with an "I" in place of a grade until one of two things happens:
  • You complete the required coursework within the time allowed, and your instructor submits a grade change form to the Registrar's Office. Registrar's Office staff will then replace the "I" on your transcript with the grade assigned by your instructor.
  • You fail to complete the required coursework, so the "I" will be changed to an "F" on your transcript after one year unless approved for an extension.
