  Do I take all four years of college from LCSC Coeur d’Alene?
Through an articulation agreement with North Idaho College, LCSC students complete their 100 and 200 level coursework at North Idaho College(NIC) OR students can transfer their freshman and sophomore credits from other institutions before transferring to LCSC. Students will then complete the 300 and 400 level courses to complete the baccalaureate degree. LCSC faculty use state-of-the-art computer lab and Interactive Video (IVC) classrooms located in the Harbor Plaza as well as classrooms at North Idaho College(NIC). NIC also extends use of library and other campus resources for LC student use. Your bachelor’s degree is still granted from LCSC.
Some students are taking classes from both institutions at the same time and are considered concurrently enrolled.

Where is the computer lab and what are its open hours?
Students at LCSC are offered the convenience of a state-of-the-art computer lab, updated with all new computers in summer 2005. It is located in the Harbor Plaza at 610 Hubbard Ave. Suite 107, facing Northwest Blvd.

Students using the lab are required to sign a lab use policy and to respect others in a quiet work space. ABSOLUTELY NO FOOD or DRINK will be allowed in the lab at any time. Printing costs are .10 per page.

The lab hours are variable as classes and workshops have priority. Changes in the general schedule will be posted at the front door of the Harbor Plaza and on our website.

The lab will close if there is no monitor available after hours
or if a class is scheduled. For safety reasons the Harbor Plaza Doors will be locked at all times. Students, to be admitted, must knock and present their student ID to the lab monitor.
