General Registration Information

Academic Calendar

Find the full calendar of key dates, including breaks and semester start and end dates.

Academic Separation Appeal

A student who has been Academically Separated may appeal if:

  • There are documented compelling and unforeseen reasons why academic standards were not met, and
  • There is a high probability the student’s cumulative GPA can be raised to 2.00 or higher in no more than one additional semester of coursework, determined by having a Quality Point Deficiency of no more than 10 points as determined by the GPA repair calculator.
Course Catalog

The Course Catalog outlines, in detail, the requirements for the degree and certificate programs offered at Fort Lewis College.

Course delivery definitions
  • Synchronous: Happens at the same time.
  • Asynchronous: Doesn't happen at the same time.
  • Online: Courses are offered through the Internet using Canvas. 100% of course activity is done online with no required on-campus meetings. Online courses may include optional synchronous online discussions or assignments.
  • Live Online: Faculty and Students meet synchronously via Zoom for all instructional hours; no in-person classroom meetings. Students must be able to meet online during all scheduled classroom times. Live Online courses hold most classes via Zoom but can also include some alternative synchronous and asynchronous online course activity.
  • Hybrid: Combines face-to-face classroom instruction with distance education activities (25-85% required synchronous).
  • Hyflex: Course delivered with fully remote option(s) – synchronous or asynchronous – along with regularly scheduled face-to-face classes, allowing students to transition seamlessly between the two learning environments.
  • Lecture, Lab, or Studio Art: Regular in-person classroom.
Credit Overload Petition

You may register for up to 8 summer credits without submitting this Credit Overload Petition. If you would like to take over 8 credits, submit this petition and Skyhawk Station staff will register you for the additional classes. 

Dates & deadlines

Important dates for financial aid, registration, course withdrawal, and more.

Exceptions to Graduation Requirements

You may request a course substitution or waiver anytime by submitting an Exceptions to Graduation Requirements Request Form in the Student Resource Center. The Registrar’s Office will email you when they process the request.

Grade replacement

A student who wishes to replace a grade must adhere to the following policies and procedures:

  1. Students must follow all policies regarding the repetition of coursework.
  2. Some courses may be taken more than once for full credit (e.g., some special topics courses, independent studies, and internships); these courses are not eligible for grade replacement.
  3. The semester hours and quality points in repeated courses are counted only once. The highest grade and its corresponding quality points are used to compute the quality point average and meet graduation requirements.
  4. Students can replace a maximum of 3 classes up to 12 credit hours ("cumulative replacement hours") with improved grades earned by repeating courses.
  5. The credit hours associated with each repeated course will count toward the cumulative replacement hours.
  6. Students must complete a Grade Replacement form to initiate the grade replacement process. The form designating specific course grade replacements will be a part of the student's permanent file.
  7. All grade entries remain a part of the student's permanent record.
Independent Study (299)/Individual Study (499)

The Independent Study forms are now available in the Student Resource Center. 

  • Initiating the form: Students must initiate the form through the Student Resource Center. 
  • Filling out the form: Students must complete their personal information upon initiating the form. However, they can complete the rest of the form themselves or have their instructor do it. 
  • Form routing and approval: After the student completes and signs the form, it will be routed to the instructor. Once the Associate Dean approves it, the Registrar will proceed to create the section and register the student as usual.
Leaving or taking a break from FLC

Learn how to leave FLC and the impacts on your transcript, financial aid, and billing. Understand your options, whether you plan to withdraw from all courses now, leave permanently in a future semester, or simply take a break.

Non-Scheduled Course Authorization

The Non-Scheduled Course Authorization forms are now available in the Student Resource Center

Registration Overrides for Students

Instructors can give Registration Overrides for your courses. An instructor override can allow a student to register for a course if:

  • They have not satisfied the prerequisites
  • The course requires instructor's permission
  • And/or if the student does not satisfy a class (first-year, sophomore, etc.) or there is a significant restriction

Starting the first week of the term, the override includes an Override for Capacity.

Talk with your instructor about overriding the registration.

Transferring credits with a Pass/No Pass grading scale

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.
