Greetings Students,

We want to take this opportunity to address an important topic that affects our campus community: immigration policies and their potential impact on our students and campus community. We remain dedicated to our commitment to providing a safe and supportive environment for all members of our campus, regardless of their circumstances. 

  1. Campus Access Protocols 

We are actively working with local law enforcement agencies, including the Imperial County Sheriff, local police departments, and federal agencies such as Customs and Border Patrol and Homeland Security, to ensure they do not come onto campus without proper notice, valid subpoenas, or court orders. While these conversations are ongoing, it is our hope that they will notify us before any action takes place. Most importantly, we are working to ensure they do not engage in activities that disrupt your learning or create fear within our campus community. 

  • Support for Dreamer Students:

We remain committed to supporting our undocumented and Dreamer students by providing resources and safe spaces. Our Dream Resource Program serves as a hub for information and referrals to immigration-related services available to community members. This office is not a location for enforcement activity. We will continue to vigorously oppose any efforts to target individuals or access our records without proper legal authority.   

  • Protecting Your Information 

Your privacy is incredibly important to us. We are dedicated to safeguarding your personal information, in accordance with our standing Administrative Procedures AP 3415 and AP 5017. 

  • Our Commitment to You 

While recent federal actions may create uncertainty, we want to assure you that we are monitoring these developments closely. We will continue to stand by every student, upholding the values of diversity, equity, and inclusion in all that we do. We are committed to removing barriers to your access and success, addressing poverty in the Imperial Valley, and ensuring that your well-being and success remain at the heart of everything we do.

Additionally, you can access campus support services here. We promise to keep you informed about any changes or new developments as they arise. Your trust and dedication make Imperial Valley College a safe and inclusive place for all. Together, we will navigate these challenges while staying true to our mission of supporting every member of our community. 


Thank you for being a vital part of IVC.


Gratefully, 

Lennor M. Johnson, Ed.D.
