Diplomas for former students (replacement diplomas)

Students who graduated before Spring 2023 and order a replacement diploma will receive a new digital diploma and a replacement paper diploma from Parchment Award Services. Both diplomas will include a small “Reissued” text at the bottom.

Digital diplomas can be accessed after the student receives the initial email from Parchment and creates an account. Paper diplomas will be mailed approximately 72 hours after that, so students have time to update their diploma mailing address if needed.

Public health emergency instruction policy

As Fort Lewis College plans for instruction in the coming academic year, students are advised that in response to a further public health emergency or potential public health emergency such as COVID-19, some or all instruction for all or part of any particular academic year may be delivered remotely.

Any necessary adjustments to instruction will be made congruent with public health considerations. Tuition and fees have been set regardless of the method of instruction and will not be refunded if instruction occurs remotely for any part of the year.

Alternative loans

Private loans have no government subsidy. These college loans require a more stringent qualification of creditworthiness and may have higher interest rates than federal student loans.

The Financial Aid Office advises all students to use the Direct loan programs first.

Undergraduate loan amounts

The amounts that undergraduate students may borrow per academic year depend on the credits earned.

Tuition refunds for dropped classes

Students who drop a class on or before Census Day but remain enrolled will receive a 100 percent refund of tuition and fees for that class. Students who drop a class the day after the Census but remain enrolled must pay 100 percent of tuition and fees for that course (no refund).

Federal Direct Loans

There are two distinct Federal Direct Loan programs:

  1. Subsidized Loan Program: The subsidized program is based on financial need, and the borrower does not pay interest while enrolled at least half-time. 
  2. Unsubsidized Loan Program: The unsubsidized loan program does not have this in-school subsidy and is not need-based. All eligible students may apply for and receive these funds. 

Under the unsubsidized program, interest can accumulate or capitalize until the borrower is out of school, increasing the principal's amount. The borrower can make interest-only payments to avoid capitalization. View up-to-date information on interest rates and loan origination fees.

Federal Direct Plus Parent Loans

Federal Direct Parent PLUS Loans are for parents who wish to borrow to help pay for their student's education.

  • You must complete the FAFSA before applying for a Federal Direct Parent PLUS Loan.
  • Federal Direct Parent PLUS Loan applicants are subject to credit checks.
  • Parents may borrow up to the cost of the attendance budget, minus any other financial aid, each year.
  • Repayment begins within 60 days after the loan has been completely disbursed. Go to the interest rate page on the Federal Student Aid site to view up-to-date information on interest rates and loan origination fees.

The US Department of Education funds Federal Direct Parent PLUS Loans. You accept the Federal Direct Parent PLUS Loan through your Student Resource Center account. The parent will need to apply for the loan at studentloans.gov.

If a parent is denied a Federal Direct Parent PLUS Loan, a dependent student may be considered for a different portion of the unsubsidized Direct loan. Origination fees will be deducted from the loan upon disbursement. Origination fees are subject to change.

Withdrawal and tuition refund schedule

Students who are registered for classes and decide not to attend are responsible for canceling courses before the first day of the relevant term. Nonattendance does not constitute cancellation or withdrawal.

Date of Withdrawal for Fall/Spring Semesters Tuition & Fees Assessment
1st day of Term through Census 0%
