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.

When reading an undergraduate student's academic progress report, it is important to understand the limitations of the Credits Satisfying count at the top of the APR in the Overall Academic Progress area. This is especially important when advisors work with students nearing graduation.

• The Credits Satisfying number is also known as the TAR Bucket.
• Once an upperclassman takes 120 credits, this tally will stop at 120 credits.
• This means the Overall Academic Progress area will count to 120 without considering actual degree requirements and does not prioritize LACS 36, upper division requirements, or major requirements over electives.
• This will only become an issue for students with current registrations over 120 credits or students who have the potential to exceed 120 credits before graduating.
• This impacts the load status and distribution submitted to Financial Aid.
• FLC Financial Aid policy will not pay for classes that do not apply to the primary program of study (minors, certificates, and electives that do not apply to requirements are not paid).

Advisors should consider the following when counseling students on what to take if they are utilizing Financial Aid and are concerned about meeting sufficient Undergraduate Load Status:

• Be very attentive if students are taking classes outside their primary Program of Study (POS). This can impact financial aid distribution for credit load-status calculations at any Class Standing.
• FLC's Financial Aid policy will not pay for minors.
• If the student is approaching 120 credit hours, every class needs to be a degree requirement. Taking classes outside the program of study requirements will not be paid by Financial Aid and can delay graduation readiness.
• Encourage upper-division students to focus on completing upper-division courses and requirements to fill their load status.
• Always use the primary Program of Study sections of the APR to accurately verify which courses fulfill which requirements. Do not rely on the Credits Satisfying number if students are nearing or over 120 credits.
• This concern does not apply to Graduate Students.
• If you have questions about Financial Aid Load Status or believe a student has over 120 credits, reach out to the Office of the Registrar. The Registrar can manually reorganize the TAR bucket to prioritize degree requirements over electives.

When reviewing a student’s eligibility request for a course section, it is important to review placement information first in the student’s profile to determine if the student has sufficient prerequisites for the course section they would like to take.

1. From the Workday home page, click on the Search bar. Type “Student:” then the student’s first and last name. Choose the correct name from the results that populate.  

2. You should now be viewing the student’s profile. In the blue column on the left, select the Academics section. 

3. Navigate to the External Records tab across the top. External Records shows:
   1. Test results and courses from other institutions attended.
   2. Advanced placement test scores, SAT scores, and FLC placement scores.
   3. Relevant standardized tests that determine eligibility for certain courses.

4. Select the View All button next to the FLC Placement item to review full details of Composition and Math placement. The Section Name is the relevant subject, and the Non-Numeric Value is the recommended minimum course level the student should begin with at FLC.  

5. Before approving an eligibility override request for a course section, review transfer credits and test results to ensure the course section desired is a good fit based upon the student’s placement and relevant course history.

Course Withdrawal, or CW, refers to a course dropped after the Census (the 12th day of the semester). You are permitted to use a total of 3 Course Withdrawals during your time at Fort Lewis College for any reason, no questions asked.

To withdraw from a course using a CW, fill out our online Withdrawal From Course Form at your Student Resource Center. You can also visit Skyhawk Station and pick up a Course Withdrawal form, and our staff will process the CW for you on the spot. This Course Withdrawal will not affect your financial aid for this term, and you will still owe the full amount for the class on your student bill. You should also be aware that dropping a course could affect your Pace Towards Graduation, impacting your eligibility for Financial Aid. 

We encourage you to speak with a Skyhawk Advisor to understand the consequence of dropping a course or to explore other options such as tutoring and/or talking to your professor.

If you change your name, your new name will appear on transcripts ordered after the change has been processed. You can even request a replacement diploma that reflects your new name!

The Academic Progress Report will replace the uAchieve degree audit for viewing a student’s course and credit progress completed within a program of study and graduation requirements fulfilled or in progress. This report can be accessed anytime from the Academics section of a student’s Profile.

A new tab, called Program Completion, is now visible for advisors when viewing a student’s Academics section of their profile. This tab helps determine if a student has applied for program completion and the status of their request.  

Select the Academics section in the left blue column in the student's profile. The tabs across the top will now include Program Completion. (Note. If you can view many tabs, you may need to select the More tab to see this tab.) 

The Program Completion tab displays the student’s declared program(s) of study, the program completion status, and the expected semester the program will be completed. The Program Completion Status will be blank until the student applies for program completion in their final year.  

Once the student completes the Apply for Program Completion task in Workday, the Program Completion Status will change from blank to “Applied for Program Completion.” Once approved, the status will change to “Approved for Completion” or “Denied.” 

The Registrar’s Office processes two types of exceptions to graduation requirements.

Individual Exceptions

You may request a course substitution or waiver on behalf of an individual student by submitting an Individual Exception to Graduation Request Form in the Faculty Slate Dashboard. Individual exceptions apply to one student only. The student will be notified via email when the Registrar’s Office processes the request.

Blanket Exceptions

You may also request a course substitution or waiver for an entire program by submitting a Blanket Exception to Graduation Request Form in the Faculty Slate Dashboard. Blanket exceptions apply to all students declared in a certain program on a certain catalog(s). You will be notified via email when the Registrar’s Office processes the request.

The Academic Progress Report will replace the uAchieve degree audit for viewing a student’s course and credit progress completed within a program of study and graduation requirements fulfilled or in progress. This report can be accessed anytime from the Academics section of a student’s Profile.
