Understanding Your Transfer Equivalency Report

The Office of Admission/Registrar evaluates your transcript(s) to determine which transfers to LCSC as General Education Core classes only.  Transfer credit, which count toward your intended major, will be evaluated by your faculty advisor. You are responsible for meeting the individual requirements of your selected curriculum.  YOU MUST VISIT WITH YOUR ADVISOR AS SOON AS POSSIBLE TO BEGIN THIS EVALUATION PROCESS.  If you don’t, it may affect your graduation eligibility.  You may view your Transfer Equivalency Report on WarriorWeb, warriorweb.lcsc.edu.  Credit is not accepted for courses deemed to be developmental in nature.  Transfer credits are not included in the computation of a student’s grade point average at Lewis-Clark State College.  Transcripts are legal documents, and as such once they are received they become the property of the college and cannot be copied, returned or forwarded.  Transfer equivalency reports are subject to change.

1. If your Transfer Equivalency Report includes a "CORE-ID" equivalency, you are not responsible for completing any lower-division (100- or 200- level) general education core classes at LCSC.  You might, however, be required to complete one or more lower-division prerequisite courses as determined by your major division and/or advisor. 

You may receive this code if (1) you have transferred from a United States academic regionally accredited institution with an earned Associate of Arts (AA) or Associates of Science (AS) degree, (2) you have transferred from a United States academic regionally accredited institution and have completed their general education core courses and have your transcript noted "Core Certified" by the sending institution, or (3) your transcript(s) has/have been evaluated against and meet the Idaho State Board of Education's general education core requirements.

2. If your Transfer Equivalency Report includes a "CORE-ST" equivalency, you are not responsible for completing any lower-division (100- or 200- level) or upper division (300- level) general education core classes at LCSC.  You will receive this code if you have already completed a bachelor's degree from a United States academic regionally accredited institution.

3. If you have not met the Idaho State Board of Education’s general core requirements, your transcript(s) has/have been evaluated category-for-category, course-by-course against the LCSC General Education Core (as shown on the back of this page).  You should check the courses and codes on your evaluation against the Lewis-Clark State College general education core requirements to determine the core classes you have left to complete.  A transfer class, which will apply towards an area of LCSC’s general education core, may receive a generic code as listed on the left of the general education core (e.g. CORE MA), rather than a direct equivalency with an LC course.  You must still meet the minimum credits necessary to fulfill that core requirement (e.g. four credits are required to fulfill the math component).   You should consult with an advisor to see if your major requires any specific core classes not otherwise satisfied.

4. In accordance with policies approved by the Idaho State Board of Education, the acceptance of credits from community or junior colleges is uniform for both certification and transfer purposes.  Normally, no more than 70 semester credit hours from a community/junior college may be transferred toward the 128 semester credit hours required for the baccalaureate degree.  A maximum of 96 semester credit hours from a four-year institution may be applied toward the 128 semester credit hours required for the baccalaureate degree.  Credits exceeding those stated above will be entered on your Transfer Equivalency Report as LCSC accepting zero credits.  Your advisor has the ability to swap out credits as necessary.  Please meet with your advisor as soon as possible to determine the best use of credits to apply towards your graduation requirements.
