CSI and LC State College sign partnership agreement
Release Date: Thursday 2021-02-11
TWIN FALLS – College of Southern Idaho students who want to continue their education will
now have a smoother transition to Lewis Clark State College thanks to a memorandum of
understanding between the two institutions.
Through the co-admission and co-enrollment agreement, students will be able to work toward a
degree at Lewis-Clark State College and track their progress while attending CSI. The
collaborative move by the two institutions reduces barriers to students transferring between the
institutions.
“We are excited to be working with CSI on co-admission/co-enrollment,” LC State President
Pemberton said. “This partnership education model will increase student awareness, interest and
access, making next level degree pursuit virtually seamless.”
LC State has had a presence on the CSI campus for years, and the institutions have always
worked to ensure that students were able to transfer easily. In Fall 2020, eight CSI students
transferred to Lewis-Clark State and four more attended that were past CSI students. The new
agreement is designed to streamline the process even further, and to offer expanded opportunities
from both institutions.
The agreement also helps ensure that comprehensive support systems are in place for students
wishing to transfer to Lewis-Clark State College to receive their bachelor degree.
“I appreciate the collaboration with the administration and faculty at Lewis Clark State College
to make this partnership a reality. Like the leadership of LCSC, the CSI leadership team is
interested in assuring a seamless and cooperative enrollment experience for Idahoans,” said
President Dean L. Fisher
