How do my credits transfer? LCSC reviews all your transfer credits course-by-course for equivalencies. Transfer Guides have been created for schools in which direct equivalencies have been determined. More information.

Not all of my credits transferred-why?

  • Four year+ colleges/universities may transfer a maximum of 96 semester credits.
  • North Idaho College may transfer 85 semester credits.
