Submit your FAFSA

Submit your Free Application for Federal Student Aid to find out your eligibility for federal, state, or institutional need-based financial aid. The FLC federal school code is 001353.

• The FAFSA for the 2026-27 academic year is open.
• The priority deadline is November 15.
  • Meeting this deadline gives you the best chance at maximizing the amount of aid you receive. Some financial aid, like work study, is awarded based on a first come, first serve basis.
• Check with your Admission Counselor (found in your Admission Portal) on questions, and FLC will notify you when your financial aid has been packaged.

Fill out your FAFSA application

Activate your FLC account

Your FLC account information is different than your admission portal login information.

1. To activate, find your FLC identification number in your admission portal.
2. Use your FLC identification number to activate your FLC account.

You will use your FLC account info to:

• Log in to your FLC email account, which is how we communicate with you now that you're admitted.
• Access Workday, a comprehensive student system that allows you to register for classes, pay bills, see your class schedule, and much more.

Accept your financial aid award package

Follow these directions to view and accept your financial aid award package after you have been notified that your aid package is complete.

Register for Classes/Fill out the Advising Questionnaire 

First-year students

Once you've completed the Advising Questionnaire, academic advisors begin working on your schedule. Once your schedule is nearly complete, you will then meet with your advisor to go over and finalize your schedule, either at an orientation or later during an appointment.

Returning and transfer students

Once you have filled out the Advising Questionnaire, you will receive an email to schedule an advising and registration appointment with your new Skyhawk Advisor.

Advising Questionnaire opens:

• Spring: TBD
• Fall: May 1

Complete the Advising Questionnaire in your admission portal.

Submit final transcripts

Have the school or institution that issues your transcripts or an authorized third-party vendor send your official final transcripts directly to us; do not send in-progress coursework.

First-year students

Your high school must email or mail your final official high school transcripts to us. Contact your former institution to find out how to order transcripts for any dual/concurrent enrollment courses.

Dual enrollment/concurrent enrollment credits: if you have earned college credits while in high school, you must request your official college transcript from that institution to be sent to us.

Returning and transfer students

Contact your former institution(s) to find out how to order your transcripts.

*You might be eligible for more scholarships if you have a higher cumulative GPA than when you applied. Email the Admission Office at admission@fortlewis.edu if this applies to you.

Complete immunization requirements

Provide proof of vaccination against measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) or proof of exemption. We strongly recommend students also get vaccinated against meningitis.

Deadline: Before arriving on campus

Submit immunization requirements

Complete a FERPA waiver

This step is optional. You can waive your right to privacy of your student education records, so specific people, like family members, can access your student record information to help you with things like class registration.

Submit FERPA waiver

Get student ID

Upload a photo so your SkyCard is ready for you on move-in day at campus. You'll have immediate access to your student housing and your meal plan.

Buy your textbooks online. You can have them shipped to your home for free or choose to have them waiting for you to pick up at the SkyStore on campus. 

• The SkyStore can take orders for text books starting:
  • Spring semester: December 18
  • Fall semester: August 1
• Each FLC student can put up to $600 toward required course materials on their student bill. To do this, choose "Student Account" at checkout and then you will pay your balance through FLC Student Billing.
  • This is a good option if you plan to set up a payment plan or would like part of your financial aid to pay for your books.
