Transfer Student

Ready to Become a Warrior?

If you have transferable college credits and either graduated from high school or earned a GED, you should apply as a transfer applicant.

How to

The online application takes about 10-15 minutes to complete and is free to submit! You will create a Be a Warrior account to complete the online application. With your Be a Warrior account you will be able to log back in any time to complete the online application, upload admission documents, and check your application status.

*If you are an international student please visit the International Admissions page to submit your application.

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 [email protected] 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.

Please include military transcripts, if applicable. Also, feel free to check out our Office of Veterans' Services for more resources.

Please allow up to three weeks for the Registrar and Records Office to complete an official evaluation of your general education coursework. If you have questions about the evaluation process, please contact the Registrar and Records Office at [email protected] or (208) 792-2223.

*You can be tentatively admitted with unofficial or working transcripts. Unofficial college transcripts must include your full name, institution, grade points, credits, and grade point average. Working transcripts indicate you are currently enrolled in classes. After your grades and/or degree are posted, you will need to have official transcripts sent to the Admissions Office. Full admission will be granted once we receive all official college transcripts.

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.

A Transfer Equivalency Report (TRER) is the official evaluation of your transfer credits and how they equate to LC State courses. Learn more about TRER.
