Official transcripts must arrive in a sealed envelope or in official electronic format from the issuing institution. Please have the transcript sent to LC State Admissions at admissions@lcsc.edu or 500 8th Avenue Lewiston, ID 83501. Photocopies of records are not official. Official transcripts must include your full name, institution, grade points, credits, and grade point average. They must be marked official and include a key.

LC State uses the Transfer Evaluation System (TES) to help students identify how courses will transfer to the college. The colleges/universities and courses listed in TES are not exhaustive. Information is populated in the TES system as students transfer courses to LC State. If your institution and/or transfer course is not listed in the menu, transcript evaluators will work with the division chairs to determine if a transfer equivalency can be made. If you have questions about the process, please contact the Registrar & Records Office at 208-792-2223. 

General education courses with a 'P' grade will be accepted and treated as a passed course.

Program-specific courses with a 'P' grade will be reviewed on a case by case basis.

When you finish your application, feel free to check your application status and visit our I've Already Applied page for your next steps.

Once all admission documents are received, you will be notified of your acceptance in one to two weeks. After receiving your acceptance letter, you should check out the admitted student process.

Please feel free to contact our Admissions Office at 208-792-2378 or admissions@.lcsc.edu

You will receive notification of your admission status (i.e., accepted for regular, tentative, or provisional admission, probation, and denial) via mail. Once accepted, your transcript(s) will be evaluated by the Registrar and Records Office.

Decisions on completed transfer applications are made on a rolling basis. Normally, this process takes about one to two weeks but can take up to four weeks depending on the volume of applications that are being received at that time. If you are accepted, check out our page for admitted students to see what your next steps should be. 

Yes! Students can be tentatively admitted off unofficial college transcripts. All unofficial college transcripts must include your full name, institution, grade points, credits, and grade point average. Full admission will be granted once we receive all official college transcripts.

Any applicant who is not in good standing, either academically or through disciplinary processes, at a prior institution may not be admitted. Applicants who were not in good standing will be required to complete a petition to be considered for admission. Petitions will be reviewed by the Admissions Committee and propose an admission decision.

•  A degree-seeking student who, after graduating from high school or earning a GED, has earned at last 14 or more semester hours of transferable academic college level credit from a regionally accredited college or university with a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.0 may be admitted.
•  A student not meeting the requirements listed in the first bullet may petition for probational admission by submitting a personal statement that includes goals, educational and personal objectives, an explanation of past academic performance, and any extenuating circumstances.

The Admissions Office checks the National Student Clearinghouse to ensure all previously attended colleges/universities are listed on the applicant’s admission file.

Official transfer credit evaluations will take place after you have been accepted for admission as a degree seeking applicant by the Registrar and Records Office. This process is typically completed approximately 14 business days after you are admitted. The evaluation period may fluctuate depending on the Transfer Evaluator's workload.

Once this process is completed you can access your Transfer Equivalency Report via WarriorWeb.

If you have questions regarding this process, please contact the Registrar and Records Office at registrar@lcsc.edu or (208) 792-2223.

Once admitted, you may view your Transfer Equivalency Report on WarriorWeb. If you're not sure how to access your Transfer Equivalency Report we have some instructions that can help.
