Important Financial Aid Update When Choosing Your Program of Study

As a reminder, beginning Fall 2025 and continuing this Spring 2026 semester, students are limited to one active Program of Study at a time. This means your financial aid can only be applied toward one degree and one related certificate.

This focused approach ensures your aid supports courses that count directly toward graduation or transfer, helping you stay on track, avoid excess units, and make the most of your financial resources.

As an IVC student, you have access to many resources and people who want to help you. We are committed to student success and encourage you to explore all the programs and services we have to offer.
