Important Financial Aid Update When Choosing Your Program of Study

Starting Fall 2025, you’ll be allowed one active Program of Study at a time, which means your financial aid will count toward one degree and one related certificate.


This focused approach ensures your aid only goes toward classes that count toward graduation or transfer, helping you stay on track, save money, and make the most of your financial aid.


Stay Informed: Important Campus Updates!

If You See Something, Say Something.



Stay Aware: Report any suspicious activity to Campus Safety at (760) 483-7411

Our Dream Resource Program continues to offer support, safe spaces, and access to immigration-related resources. Additionally, we are committed to protecting your personal information and will vigorously oppose any unauthorized access to student records. IVC's Superintendent/President Dr. Lennor M. Johnson recently shared a campus message about this along with information on ways to access resources available to you through IVC's Dreamer Resource Program!
