Ask your high school to send your official transcript to the LC State Admissions Office at [email protected] or 500 8th Avenue Lewiston, ID 83501.

A 6th semester transcript can be submitted to be tentatively admitted, a 7th semester transcript is required for scholarship purposes.

If you enrolled in any college courses while in high school, those transcripts must be submitted as well.

Official transcripts must arrive in a sealed envelope or in official electronic format from the issuing institution to be valid. Photocopies of records are not official.

*You can be tentatively admitted off unofficial or working transcripts. Unofficial transcripts may be sent to [email protected]. 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.

In order to be eligible for financial aid, please submit your Social Security Number on your Be a Warrior account. 

Academic students are not required to submit test scores for admissions purposes. However, you will need to submit either an ACT or SAT score or take the LC State Placement Exams for class registration and placement.

Official scores for the SAT (code: 0920) or ACT (code: 0429) are sent directly from the Collegeboard (SAT) or ACT website.

Career and Technical Students can submit ACT or SAT scores or can take the LC State Placement Exams.

If you completed the Apply Idaho application, you do not have to submit an application through LC State. Typically we receive your 6th semester GPA and test score from Apply Idaho. If we did not receive it, then you will need to submit them. Test scores are not required (but recommended) for academic students for admissions purposes. You will also need to submit a 7th semester transcript by the March 1st priority deadline to be considered for merit based scholarships.

If you did not complete the Apply Idaho application, you can either complete the Apply Idaho application or complete our online application.

You will receive your official acceptance letter from LC State via mail once we receive all admission documents from you. 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. 

Apply Idaho is open for students to use until June 30th. Our application deadline for the Fall semester is August 8th. Therefore, if you submit an application after June 30th, your application will be evaluated based on our normal Admission Standards, alongside all other applications we receive.

An Idaho State Board of Education-approved benchmark GPA and college entrance exam score determined your admission eligibility.

Learn more about our Admissions Standards. Notice that the standards vary for academic degree-seeking applicants and career and technical education degree-seeking applicants.

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.

As a freshman, 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 [email protected] or (208) 792-2053.

All new LC students attend STAR (Student Advising and Registration) to select first semester classes. Once admitted, you will register to attend a STAR session. STAR provides information about financial aid, payments, what to expect from college, and how to register. STAR provides new students with an opportunity to ask questions about programs and career goals.

If you are not sure if you are admitted, contact the Admissions Office at [email protected] or (208) 792-2210 or (208) 792-2378. If you have been admitted, but have not received your STAR email, please contact The Advising Center at (208) 792-2313.

March 1st is LC State's priority deadline.

To be considered for scholarships (including Idaho merit based) we need to have your application and 7th semester (or 10th trimester) transcript on file by the priority deadline (that's the transcript from the first term of your Senior year of high school).

Submit all financial aid forms (including the FAFSA) and applications by our March 1st priority deadline for priority consideration.
