Irvine Valley College offers students an affordable option to begin their American education. The document below outlines our estimate of the cost of attendance for one year based on the minimum enrollment requirement of 12 units per semester. Optional summer enrollment is not included in the estimated cost information.

Tuition and fees are subject to change by the state of California or the South Orange County Community College District Board of Trustees. Estimated expenses are likely to go up on an annual basis.
