Students can drop their classes easily and instantly from their Academics app during open registration periods.

1. Direct the student to their Academics app, located on their Workday home page under Your Top Apps, or from the MENU at the top left of the portal.
2. From the Academics app, have the student navigate to "View My Courses," located under the Academic Records heading on the task list on the right side of the page.
3. When the student is in View My Courses, they will see an Actions column and button next to the course section name. Select Actions to see Drop and Swap options (when applicable).
4. The student can then select the Drop button for the course section they wish to drop. Course sections with multiple available meeting times will also have a Swap option to choose a different meeting time for the same course section.
5. The student must confirm the drop on the prompted page, select Ok, then Done at the bottom. 
   Note: The Action button will not be visible outside open registration windows.

Once this change is complete, the student can see any dropped classes in a separate list below the current classes table. The student's current courses can also be viewed from their Profile, under the Academics section and the "Current Classes" tab across the top of the section.

You can view your course roster from a different report that displays the capacities set for the course section and more information about the students registered.

1. From the Teaching app, select the task View Course Section Roster.
2. Activate the Course Section field and select My Assigned Course Sections.
3. Activate the blank Published Course Section field and choose the correct term/semester.
4. Select the Course Section you wish to view. Click Ok.
5. The Course Section Roster will appear at the bottom of the page.
6. A column next to each student displays the student’s Program of Study on the right-hand side.

Use the Troubleshooting Console to look at a single course section. Other potential issues preventing a student’s registration entirely that may need to be checked are: 

• Action Items or incomplete Tasks: Have the student check their homepage, under Awaiting Your Action, or the My Tasks inbox at the top right of their portal. The student may have tasks that require completion before they can register (ex., Accept terms and conditions of their program of study, accept financial aid, pay a past due balance, provide a requested document, etc). For staff/faculty/advisors, action items and holds can be viewed from the student’s Profile under the Action Items and Holds section.  
• Actions to do in Registration Requirements: The student may have additional action items to complete that are directly related to registration. These tasks will appear on their Academics App in the Registration Requirements table. These tasks may be holds or incomplete tasks that feed from their My Tasks inbox. This table will list actions to do with a resolution. 
• Holds: The student may have holds that prevent registration. These holds will appear on their Academics App in the Registration Requirements and Holds tables. The Holds table will list the hold description with a resolution (e.g., the student has an unpaid past-due balance.) For staff/faculty/advisors, action items and holds can be viewed from the student’s Profile under the Action Items and Holds section. 
• Registration Appointment: The student may be trying to register outside their date window, referred to in Workday as a Registration Appointment. This is not a physical appointment they must attend; it is simply the date range they can register for each term. The student can find their registration appointment from their Academics App under the Registration Appointment table.

The U.S. Department of Education (ED) requires students to be enrolled in a degree-seeking program for federal financial aid. Aid will only cover courses that are part of your official course program of study (CPOS), including Pell grants, FSEOG grants, Iraq and Afghanistan Service Awards, Direct Subsidized/Unsubsidized Loans, and PLUS Loans.

Enrolling in courses not required for your degree may reduce or cancel your financial aid, affecting your full-time enrollment status.

Instructors have the option, but not the obligation, to drop a student from a class if the student has missed at least one scheduled class during the first four days of the term. For courses that meet online, instructors must include the form of student participation in their syllabi that will be counted instead of physical attendance. If you want to drop a student based on this policy, please follow the instructions below by 4:00 pm on the first Thursday of classes.

1. Access the Faculty Slate Dashboard
2. Select "My Class Rosters"
3. Locate the student on the roster and select "Drop from Class." This will prompt a new window to complete the request.
4. Once received, the student will be removed from the course, and the student and instructor will be emailed that the withdrawal has occurred.

Please direct any questions about this policy to registrar@fortlewis.edu.

Paying your balance in full by the due date isn't the only option. Enrolled students can choose from the following payment plan options for the current term:

• 3-installment payment plan
• 4-installment payment plan
• Pay in full by the Census date (the enrollment cutoff, typically the third week of the term)

To set up a payment plan, log in to your student account or contact the Accounting Office.

Staying enrolled next term

• To register for a future term, your account balance must be below $1,000.
• If you miss a scheduled payment, you'll be removed from your payment plan. Depending on your remaining balance, a hold may be placed on your account that could affect future registration.
• If you miss your final payment and still owe more than $1,000, you'll have two weeks from the date that payment was due to bring your balance below $1,000, otherwise you may be dropped from your next term's courses.

Need a plan across multiple terms?

If you need a payment arrangement that spans more than one term, your plan will need to be set up manually. Contact the Accounting Office and a Student Billing Specialist will work with you directly.

Returned payment fee

A $20 fee will be added to your account for any returned payment, including returned checks and electronic payments (ACH/EFT), due to insufficient funds.

• Make sure you are enrolled full-time (minimum of 12 credit hours for undergraduates and 6 credit hours for graduate students). Contact the Skyhawk Station if you don't plan on being a full-time student to get your financial aid package adjusted to part-time.
• Contact the Skyhawk Station to see if Fort Lewis College has received your FAFSA information and a check from your scholarship donor. 
• Ask the Skyhawk Station about your Satisfactory Academic Progress status.
• Remember, you must electronically accept the Terms and Conditions of your financial aid on your Workday account.

If you frequently need to look up students in Workday, you can configure your search results in Workday to bring students up before other result categories.

1. Type anything in the "Search bar" at the top of your Workday portal and click enter (e.g., "Student"). Do not select a result. This will bring you to a full "Search Results" page.
2. Select the “All Categories” button at the top of the page. Then select “Edit Category Preferences.”
3. Drag and drop categories from the Unpinned Categories block to the Pinned Categories at the top to prioritize what results you want to see when you use the search bar. The first category will appear and be prioritized with additional Pinned Categories. To prioritize student names, drag the "Student" category into the Pinned Categories block in the order you want to see it. (For example, set your Pinned Categories to People (employee) results first, Tasks and Reports, then Student.)
4. Select "Save" when done.

This configuration now removes the need to type “Student:” in the search bar before entering a student’s name.
