Returning Student

If you are eligible to continue at LC State and have not attended another institution since leaving LC State, please reapply above.

If you are eligible to continue at LC State and have attended another institution since leaving LC State, please submit all transcripts from all institutions you have attended and reapply above. Your admission file will be re-evaluated when LC State receives all transcripts.

If you have questions regarding your eligibility to continue, please contact the Admissions Office at [email protected] or (208) 792-2210 or (208) 792-2378.

The online application takes about 10-15 minutes to complete and is free to submit. Be prepared to create a Be a Warrior account before you begin the online application. This will allow you to log back in any time to complete the online application, upload admission documents, and check your status.

Wondering what it takes to be accepted? See our Admissions Standards.

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.

In the meantime, check out our I've Already Applied page to see what your next steps are and find out more about financial aid, housing, and registering for classes.

Decisions on completed 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 our page for admitted students to see what your next steps should be. 

You will need to submit all transcripts from all institutions you attended and reapply. Your admission file will be re-evaluated when LC State receives all transcripts.

All financial aid forms and applications can be accessed through the Financial Aid website. We highly recommend submitting a scholarship application through the scholarship portal. You will also want to submit your FAFSA (FAFSA school code: 001621), which will determine your eligibility for federal and state aid. You should submit all financial aid forms and applications by our March 1st priority deadline for priority consideration.

For more information regarding the specific types of financial aid available to you, please contact the Financial Aid Office at [email protected] or (208) 792-2224.

Returning students are able to live on- or off-campus. 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 site to learn about on-campus and some off-campus options.

If you have questions about housing, please contact Residence Life at [email protected] or (208) 792-2053.
