When a student tries to register for a specific course section in Find Course Sections, there may be factors that do not allow them to register for that course, even if they are in their appropriate Registration Appointment. When selecting a course section, the student may not see a Register button but instead a Troubleshoot button. Use the Troubleshooting Console to assist the student in determining why they are unable to register for that specific course section.  

1. Advisors, faculty, or staff can utilize the Registration Troubleshooting Console by searching for this in the Workday Search bar and selecting the result. 
2. In the next window, select the bubble next to Student. Click into the field and type the student’s name to choose. (Search hint: Type part of the student’s first name and part of their last name, then Enter to reduce search results) 
3. Type the semester name and year in the Search Date Within field, then Enter to reduce search results. (ex. “Fall 2024” for fall semester 2024) 
4. Click the Course field to find the course by category, or type part of the course name and then Enter to reduce search results. 
5. Click into the Course Section field, then select All. This will filter available sections (meeting times) by all available in the Course you selected in the previous field. Select the course section of interest.  
6. Select the OK button.  
7. In the top area of the console, you will see one piece of information that may be of use: 
   1. Active Record During Academic Period: Yes or No (Is the student active for this semester?) 
8. There are tabs below the basic course section information that can indicate other reasons for registration prevention: 
   1. Summary: will display an overview of potential issues preventing registration (Is there a hold? Does the student have registration access? Are they eligible for the course or section? Is this course section published?) 
   2. Enrollment Access: This tab explains the logic behind the course section access grading policy and may be useless. 
   3. Appointments and Date Controls: Identifies parameters of registration appointments based on graduate or undergraduate registration window parameters. This may help determine if there is a different registration appointment (window) for an undergrad for this course vs. a graduate student.  
   4. Course Eligibility: The student may not be eligible for the course section (yes or no). If the answer is No, a Course and Course section rule in blue can be selected to drill into the specific eligibility requirements of the course and section under the Meaning.   

All data that is blue can be selected and drilled into further. (Ex. If the student has two holds, you can choose the number 2 in that area to drill into the hold information.  

Use the Troubleshooting Console to look at a single course section. Other potential issues preventing a student’s registration entirely that may need to be checked are: 

• Action Items or incomplete Tasks: Have the student check their homepage, under Awaiting Your Action, or the My Tasks inbox at the top right of their portal. The student may have tasks that require completion before they can register (ex., Accept terms and conditions of their program of study, accept financial aid, pay a past due balance, provide a requested document, etc). For staff/faculty/advisors, action items and holds can be viewed from the student’s Profile under the Action Items and Holds section.  
• Actions to do in Registration Requirements: The student may have additional action items to complete that are directly related to registration. These tasks will appear on their Academics App in the Registration Requirements table. These tasks may be holds or incomplete tasks that feed from their My Tasks inbox. This table will list actions to do with a resolution. 
• Holds: The student may have holds that prevent registration. These holds will appear on their Academics App in the Registration Requirements and Holds tables. The Holds table will list the hold description with a resolution (e.g., the student has an unpaid past-due balance.) For staff/faculty/advisors, action items and holds can be viewed from the student’s Profile under the Action Items and Holds section. 
• Registration Appointment: The student may be trying to register outside their date window, referred to in Workday as a Registration Appointment. This is not a physical appointment they must attend; it is simply the date range they can register for each term. The student can find their registration appointment from their Academics App under the Registration Appointment table.

Instructors have the option, but not the obligation, to drop a student from a class if the student has missed at least one scheduled class during the first four days of the term. For courses that meet online, instructors must include the form of student participation in their syllabi that will be counted instead of physical attendance. If you want to drop a student based on this policy, please follow the instructions below by 4:00 pm on the first Thursday of classes.

1. Access the Faculty Slate Dashboard
2. Select "My Class Rosters"
3. Locate the student on the roster and select "Drop from Class." This will prompt a new window to complete the request.
4. Once received, the student will be removed from the course, and the student and instructor will be emailed that the withdrawal has occurred.

Please direct any questions about this policy to registrar@fortlewis.edu.

Students who cannot pay their entire account balance at the beginning of the term may choose to enroll in a payment plan. You can enroll in a payment plan before the Census to address an outstanding balance and avoid late fees. You can choose between a 4-installment or 3-installment payment plan.  

Important information about past due balances.

Payment plans for the Spring 2025 term do not recognize past-due charges.

If a registered student has a past-due charge, there are options:

1. Contact our office at askaccounting@fortlewis.edu or skyhawkstation@fortlewis.edu to be enrolled into a prior-year charge plan; or
2. Don’t sign up to a payment plan and make payments throughout the term. You will have up to the registration date for the next term to have your balance paid in full, or at least $1,000.

Review and enroll in a payment plan option through your Student Account Suite.

• Make sure you are enrolled full-time (minimum of 12 credit hours for undergraduates and 6 credit hours for graduate students). Contact the Skyhawk Station if you don't plan on being a full-time student to get your financial aid package adjusted to part-time.
• Contact the Skyhawk Station to see if Fort Lewis College has received your FAFSA information and a check from your scholarship donor. 
• Ask the Skyhawk Station about your Satisfactory Academic Progress status.
• Remember, you must electronically accept the Terms and Conditions of your financial aid on your Workday account.

The U.S. Department of Education (ED) requires students to be enrolled in a degree-seeking program for federal financial aid. Aid will only cover courses that are part of your official course program of study (CPOS), including Pell grants, FSEOG grants, Iraq and Afghanistan Service Awards, Direct Subsidized/Unsubsidized Loans, and PLUS Loans.

Enrolling in courses not required for your degree may reduce or cancel your financial aid, affecting your full-time enrollment status.

Learn more about how CPOS affects your federal financial aid
 

A contributor is anyone who must provide information, a signature, and consent or approval to transfer their federal tax information directly into the FAFSA. This usually includes the student, the student’s spouse, a biological or adoptive parent, or a stepparent. Contributors are not financially responsible for the student’s education.

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.
