Application Deadlines

 

​​Please note that due to the COVID-19, the IVC campus is closed.  All staff and faculty will be working remotely to assist current and prospective IVC students as needed. Application materials can ONLY be submitted by email to iso@ivc.edu or postal mail service.

 

 All classes will be offered on-line for the 

fall 2020 semester:

In an abundance of caution for the safety of our students, faculty and staff, Irvine Valley College (IVC) will only be offering on-line classes in the fall 2020 semester due to the COVID-19 pandemic.  This will impact how international students enroll in classes and eligibility to enter the USA.  

IVC continues to admit international students for the fall semester.  Please review the information below for your enrollment options for the fall: 

Transfer students (students with an active I-20):  Full-time enrollment is required in the fall semester for students transferring to IVC from another US institution (with an active I-20).  Students can enroll in on-line courses while in the US or overseas.

New students overseas (without an active I-20 or F-1 visa):  Per US government regulations, new international students will not be able to enter the US while IVC is in an on-line format.  Therefore, IVC will automatically defer the I-20 for our fall new student admits to our spring 2021 semester which begins on January 19, 2021. 

However, new students CAN still enroll in fall classes from overseas!  This is great news as you can still begin your American education in August!

 

What are the Benefits of Taking Fall 2020 IVC On-Line Courses from Overseas?

• This is a great way to get familiar with a US college course without the pressure of the full 12 unit enrollment requirement that you have in fall/spring semesters. (You can enroll full-time if you wish).
• You can start your US education from the comfort of your own home and have less delay in reaching your academic goals!
• You will still receive assistance from our experienced international student counselors and advising staff while enrolled in the on-line class.
• We will provide an on-line orientation to our students enrolling from overseas so you can familiarize yourself with the college and processes.  The updated orientation date will be sent soon!
• Taking fall class(es) on-line from overseas will not affect your F-1 visa status or future entry into the USA.​
