Fort Lewis College does not have designated aid for summer. Summer financial aid is usually limited to Federal Direct Loans and, in some cases, a Federal Pell Grant. To be considered for summer financial aid, students should:

• Be enrolled in at least 6 credit hours during the summer to be considered for Federal Direct Loans
• Have a valid FAFSA application on file
• Not be on academic separation
• Not be on financial aid suspension
• Not have borrowed their annual loan limits
• Not have reached their lifetime Pell Grant or Federal loan limits

Students MUST consult with the Financial Aid Office before adjusting their summer schedule to avoid having to pay back any of their summer aid.

After registration, your financial aid offer will be viewable in Workday.

Considering taking an "Incomplete"? Here's what you need to know:

• Incomplete Grades are issued at the instructor's discretion -- instructors are not required to allow a student to take an Incomplete for any reason.
• The instructor can allow you up to one year to complete the outstanding coursework. They are not required to give you the whole year to complete the coursework.
• If your instructor agrees to let you take an Incomplete, you have the option to fill out the Incomplete Grade Request form.
  • You will outline the agreed-upon terms on the form, including the coursework you need to complete and the time frame for completing it.
  • Both the student and the instructor must sign the form. 
• An Incomplete will appear on your transcript with an "I" in place of a grade until one of two things happens:
  • You complete the required coursework within the time allowed, and your instructor submits a grade change form to the Registrar's Office. Registrar's Office staff will then replace the "I" on your transcript with the grade assigned by your instructor.
  • You fail to complete the required coursework, so the "I" will be changed to an "F" on your transcript after one year unless approved for an extension.

Who can apply for Academic Renewal?

A former student who has not attended Fort Lewis College for at least six consecutive terms (e.g., Spring, Summer, Fall, Spring, Summer, Fall) and whose Fort Lewis College cumulative GPA is below 2.00 may apply for Academic Renewal. You are only eligible for Academic Renewal one time.

When and how to apply

• If you were academically disqualified, submit your Academic Renewal petition by the admission application deadline.
• If you were not academically disqualified, you must submit your Academic Renewal petition by your return semester's Census date (the 12th day of classes).

More information about Academic Renewal

• If you are granted Academic Renewal, none of the grades you received before renewal will factor into your GPA. Previously-completed courses for which you earned a grade of C- or higher will still count toward graduation as long as they are allowable under the Time Limits on Coursework policy. Although they will not factor into your GPA, all grades and coursework completed before renewal will remain visible on your academic transcript. A note stating "Academic Renewal Approve [date approved]" will also appear on your transcript.
• Other institutions may not recognize Academic Renewal. Since your pre-renewal grades appear on your transcript, other institutions may still consider them when determining your eligibility for employment, admission, scholarships, etc.
• Once granted Academic Renewal, you must maintain Satisfactory Academic Standing and complete at least 30 credit hours after re-admission before being eligible for a baccalaureate degree (even if all other degree requirements have been met).

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.

The U.S. Department of Education has flagged your FAFSA application for the “Unusual Enrollment History” review because you have received Federal Pell Grant and/or student Direct Loan funding at multiple schools during the past four years. This flag requires the student to submit an Unusual Enrollment History appeal to the Fort Lewis College Financial Aid Office listing whether you earned credits during the terms you received Federal Pell Grant and/or Student Direct Loan funding or explaining why you did not earn any credits during the term(s) you received Federal funding.

Any future Federal financial aid you will receive depends on an approved appeal through the appeals process. 

General instructions

• Return the form to the Financial Aid Office in person or via our Secure Upload.
