• If a yellow flag appears at the top right, this is simply an FYI that you are denying or partially accepting a loan. You can continue with the selections without error. 
• If a red flag appears at the top right, an error must be corrected before you can submit. Click on the flag to see the reason for the error. You may encounter this error if you accept a federally subsidized loan but deny a federally unsubsidized loan.  

If you're no longer enrolled but still have a balance, an extended payment plan may be available to you.

Requirements for extended payment plans:

• Full balance must be paid within that timeframe

To get started, email the Accounting Office confirming you agree to the terms. A Student Billing Specialist will set up your plan once that confirmation is received.

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.

Students and parents can find comprehensive information about undergraduate student loan repayment options on the .

There is also a repayment estimator you can use if you are:

• Curious about what your payment might be based on what you have borrowed so far;
• Beginning repayment of your federal student loans for the first time; or
• Exploring repayment options based on your income.
• We also recommend contacting your loan servicer to explore the best repayment option.

Diplomas are sent out approximately 6-8 weeks after the term ends.

Fort Lewis College diplomas list degrees and majors only and Latin honors if eligible. If a student earns a certificate, that will be listed on a separate diploma. Diplomas do not include minors or concentrations, but this information can be found on a student’s transcript.

Students will only receive a diploma if they meet all degree or certificate requirements by the end of the term. Walking at graduation does not mean a student will be issued a diploma.

Students who graduate in Spring 2023 or later will automatically receive digital and paper diplomas from Parchment Award Services. 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.
