What to Expect An advising and registration appointment is a structured conversation between you and an advisor followed by decision-making about your schedule. The more information we have about you, the better we can help you.

During your appointment, we’ll discuss the following: > Your Goals

Do you have academic and career goals, social and community goals, or extra-curricular goals? Let us know what you want your Fort Lewis College experience to be. > Tell Us About Yourself as a Student

Which types of classes do you like? How do you like to study and learn? We’ll be sure to let you know about academic support resources and recommend classes that may suit your style. > Review of College Credit

Have you taken college-level courses before at another college or through your high school? Have you taken AP or CLEP exams? Let us know about all of these credits.

To see how your previous credits will transfer, go to the Previous College Credits section of www.fortlewis.edu/getready. > Mathematics & Composition Placement

Based on your ACT or SAT scores and admission index, you’ll be placed into certain Mathematics & Composition courses. Your Mathematics & Composition Placement may affect your ability to take other courses as well. Determine your placement at the Mathematics & Composition Placements section of www.fortlewis.edu/ getready. > Review of Degree Requirements

We’ll discuss the requirements to complete a Bachelor’s degree, which include: > Earn a minimum of 120 credits (some programs require more credits) > Earn 45 credits at the upper-division level (300- or 400-level) > Complete all Fort Lewis College Liberal Arts Core requirements > Complete all major field and auxiliary requirements > Maintain a 2.0 cumulative grade point average in your major field and any minor fields (some programs require students to meet a higher standard) > Review of Liberal Arts Core Requirements

Fort Lewis College’s Liberal Arts Core requirements ensure that you receive a broadly-based education, regardless of your major. With the exception of the courses in Physical Well-Being and Education for Global Citizenship, all courses in Fort Lewis College’s Liberal Arts Core program are approved for the State of Colorado’s guaranteed transfer program, gtPathways. See pp. 7-10 for a listing of approved Liberal Arts Core courses.

> Review of Major Field Requirements

One of the most important decisions you will make in your degree planning is your selection of a major field. If you have already chosen a major, get started in the field as soon as possible by taking courses recommended by the department. If a course in the major is also a Liberal Arts Core course, the course may “double count” for both categories. See pp. 11-15 for a listing of recommended courses to begin a major.

> The Fort Lewis College Bachelor’s Degree

Composition (2 courses) Other Graduation Requirements: [120 Credits Completed] [45 Upper-division Credits] [2.0 Minimum GPA]

Mathematics (1 course) Arts/Hum/Hist/Soc Sciences (15 cr, min 4 courses)

Physical & Life Sciences (2 courses) PE/Wellness (1 course)

Major Requirements

Education for Global Citizenship (2 courses)

Free Electives/Minors

SCHEDULE DEVELOPMENT > Course Load

Students are considered full-time in the Fall and Winter semesters if they are enrolled in a minimum of 12 credits for each semester. However, to be on track for a four-year graduation, students must average 15 credits per term.

Students must maintain a minimum 12-credit course load to remain eligible for Fort Lewis College scholarships, financial aid, parent’s insurance, varsity athletics, etc.

Inform your advisor if you must meet a different course load requirement. > Course Selection

Your advisor will help you select courses that match your scheduling needs, placements, and course availability. > Learning Communities

See the Learning Communities flyer in this package for more information about specialized groups of courses for students with special interests.

4

> Types of Courses

There are four types of courses to select for your schedule: > Basic Skills (TRS) – These courses are required if you do not reach collegelevel placement in composition and mathematics. For more information about these courses, see p. 6. See more details about placements at the Mathematics & Composition Placements section of www.fortlewis.edu/getready. > Liberal Arts Core – These courses fulfill the requirements for the Liberal Arts Core. See pp. 7-10 for a listing of Liberal Arts Core courses. > Major Field – These courses fulfill the departmental or auxiliary requirements for the completion of a major. See pp. 11-15 for a listing of recommended courses to begin a major. > Electives or Minor – These courses are chosen by the student to meet his/her intellectual interests and do not need to meet any requirements unless the student decides to fashion his/her electives into a minor field of study. The number of electives available to a student depends on the major field selected. See p. 16 for a listing of some popular electives. For more details regarding electives, see the course catalog at catalog.fortlewis.edu or the Enriching Electives section of www. fortlewis.edu/getready.

CONSENT TO APPLY YOUR COLLEGE OPPORTUNITY FUND STIPEND TO YOUR TUITION BILL At the conclusion of your advising appointment, if you are eligible, your advisor will ask for your consent to apply your College Opportunity Fund (COF) stipend to your Fort Lewis College tuition bill. For more details, visit https://cof.college-assist.org.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT THAT REGISTRATION INCURS A FINANCIAL COMMITMENT TO THE COLLEGE At the conclusion of your advising appointment, your New Student Advisor will assist you with registering into classes. Please note that registration incurs a financial commitment to Fort Lewis College. If you decide not to attend Fort Lewis College, you must take action to cancel your schedule before the first day of classes (Monday, August 29) to avoid being responsible for a portion of your tuition and fees.

QUESTIONS? Do not hesitate to call the Office of Admission & Advising with any questions related to your matriculation at Fort Lewis College. Call (970) 382-6985 or toll-free (866) 385-3949.

BASIC SKILLS COURSES Students are required to follow their Mathematics & Composition Placement as determined by Colorado Basic Skills Assessment Policy, the Writing Program, the Freshman Mathematics Program, and the Mathematics Department.

Placements and Testing

Placements are initially determined by ACT or SAT scores (which must be dated 2008 or later), CCHE Index scores, and previous coursework. Students who cannot provide the information needed for placement must take the Accuplacer test on campus. Contact the Testing Center Coordinator at (970) 382-6938 or testingcenter@fortlewis.edu for more information.

Scores to determine whether a student is college-level in Mathematics and Composition are set by the State of Colorado. Students who do not meet college-level requirements must complete Basic Skills courses (TRS courses) in order to enroll in collegelevel coursework.

Basic Skills courses (TRS courses) do not meet degree requirements, nor are the grades included in the term or the cumulative grade point average. Per State of Colorado policy, Basic Skills coursework must be completed with a grade of C- or higher by the time the student earns 30 credits at Fort Lewis College.

YOUR ADVISING NETWORK At Fort Lewis College, we realize that planning your coursework,semesters, degree, and career can be challenging. That’s why we provide a network of advisors to help you choose your courses and activities and mentor you throughout your time at FLC and beyond. In addition, we have several electronic resources to assist you in monitoring your progress towards your degree.

NEW STUDENT ADVISING

When you set up your first advising appointment (p. 2), you’ll be assigned to a New Student Advisor in the Office of Admission & Advising. These individuals have a broad knowledge of courses that are available and appropriate for first-time freshmen or transfer students. They’ll take a full hour to get to know you, and will work closely with the admission counselors to make sure they have a clear picture of your needs.

At the conclusion of your advising appointment, your New Student Advisor will assist you with registering into classes. If you want to change or rearrange your courses before the semester starts or at the very beginning, follow the instructions at Step 7 on www. fortlewis.edu/admitted, and contact your advisor with questions.

FACULTY ADVISING

After the first week of classes, you’ll want to turn to a different person for your advising needs: your faculty advisor. This person, a professor in the field that you’ve chosen, will be able to provide you with expert information about achieving a degree in that major.

Your advisor will also help you assess extracurricular opportunities — study abroad, undergraduate research, internships — to make you a competitive candidate for employment in your field or graduate school.

If you haven’t declared a major yet, you’ll be assigned to a general faculty advisor until you decide on your academic focus.

SECONDARY ADVISING

Throughout your time at Fort Lewis, you’ll have a secondary advisor to serve as a back up or a second opinion for your big decisions. This individual, a professional advisor, will be another resource for you as you navigate all of your options.

FIND YOUR ADVISORS

To identify your faculty and secondary advisors, follow these steps: • Go to theFort: thefort.fortlewis.edu • Login to your account with your username and password • Choose “WebOPUS” from the left column • Choose “Student Services & Financial Aid” • Choose “Student Records” • Choose “Advising Information” • Your advisors’ names and contact information will be displayed.

OTHER ADVISING RESOURCES

Specialty Advising Some students may have a specialty advisor as well. Specialty advisors are generally associated with federally funded student success programs, such as the Program for Academic Advancement, the Colorado Alliance for Minority Participation, STEM3, or Minority Access to Research Careers (MARC U*STAR) program. These advisors can offer additional help in focused areas.

Career Advising The Career Services Center, located on the third floor of the Reed Library, can assist with career-related advice for all students. Career Services offers activities, assessments, events and education to help you learn about yourself and career options that match your interests, personality, and skills. Find out more at: cso.fortlewis.edu.

Disability Services The Office of Disability Services provides support and resources to students with documented disabilities. If you have a disability, make a personal appointment with the Coordinator of Disability Services, Dian Jenkins, at jenkins_d@fortlewis.edu or (970) 247-7459. Learn more at: www.fortlewis.edu/disability.
