Visit TES: College Source.

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.

As a student, you are not required to live on-campus, so choose what will work best for you! On-campus housing and assignments are based on the date deposits are received. Once on-campus housing is full, students can continue to apply and be placed on a wait list. Visit the Residence Life website to learn about on-campus and some off-campus options.

If you have questions about housing, please contact Residence Life at reslife@lcsc.edu or 208-792-2053.

You will receive notification of your admission status (i.e., accepted for regular, tentative, or provisional admission, or denial) via mail as soon as we received and processed all admission documents from you.

Decisions on applications are made on a rolling basis. Typically, 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 I'm Already Admitted page to check out what's next.

Degree-seeking applicants who do not qualify for regular admission may be granted provisional admission if they satisfy one or more of the following criteria:

1. Graduated from a secondary school accredited by a body recognized by the Board but has not completed the Admissions Standards Core courses
   
2. Did not graduate from a secondary school accredited by a body recognized by the Idaho State Board of Education, [e.g. home schooled students, General Education Development (GED) diploma or high school equivalency transcript holders], and have acceptable predictive indicators of academic success approved by the institution; 
   
3. Deserve consideration by the institution because of special status (e.g,, returning veterans, gifted and talented students wishing to enter college early, or other students in unique circumstances as determined by the institution).

Students seeking provisional admission must submit a personal statement that includes goals, educational and personal objectives, an explanation of past academic performance, and any extenuating circumstances. The Admissions Committee, which is comprised of representatives from the Admissions Office, the Advising Center, and the faculty, will review personal statements and propose an admission decision. 

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.

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.

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 3 weeks 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. 

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

Yes! LC State offers transfer student specific scholarships. We highly recommend submitting a scholarship application through the scholarship portal.
