Courses may carry a nominal fee for instructional materials provided to students throughout the semester.

Health Fee

$21 for the fall and spring semesters; $18 for the summer session. Effective Spring 2019, all students who enroll in at least one class offered on Saddleback College or Irvine Valley College (including ATEP) campuses or online will be required to pay a separate health fee to each college in which they are enrolled, with the following exemptions:

• Students who only enroll in courses offered off campus or not for credit will not be charged an automatic health fee but will be given the opportunity to “opt in” for access to health services.

• Students who depend exclusively upon prayer for healing in accordance with the teachings of a bona fide religious sect (Education Code section 76355).*

• Students who are attending the college under an approved apprenticeship training program (Education Code section 76355).*

*  Students must submit proof of exemptions at the time they register.

All automobile annual and semester parking permits are sold online through MySite and will be mailed to the address provided by the student. If the student does not have a MySite account (e.g. Community Education students), the permit may be ordered by visiting the Campus Police Department (CP 100). Motorcycle permits are sold in the Campus Police Department. IVC annual parking permits are also valid at Saddleback College and ATEP in the same type of parking space.

Daily Parking Permits: $5 per day (Rate subject to change)

Irvine Valley College daily parking permits can be purchased at permit dispensers near the entrances of parking lots 2, 5, 6, 8 and 10. Advanced Technology and Education Park (ATEP) daily parking permits can be purchased at permit dispensers located in parking lot A. Daily permits are also available at the Campus Police Department (CP 100). (Permits are not sold at the Bursar’s Office.) These permits are not valid at Saddleback College or ATEP. Properly displayed permits are valid in student parking only.

• Tuition Fee-$290 per semester unit, required of all nonresident students.  

Nonresident Tuition Fee Exemptions: The law exempts certain nonresidents from paying the nonresident tuition fee. More information can be obtained through the Office of Admissions and Records.

Capital Outlay Fee-$10 per unit, required of all nonresident students, in addition to the Tuition Fee.

Refunds

Important: ​Students are eligible for a full refund of most fees, provided they have officially dropped or withdrawn from classes prior to the refund deadline or their classes have been canceled by the college. The refund deadline, and all other pertinent dates for each respective class, can be viewed within the class details found in the online Class Schedule. Classes can be dropped through MySite or in person at the Office of Admissions and Records. Students may choose to leave a credit on the school account to cover future enrollment charges. There is no refund for classes added after the refund deadline date. Also, refunds are not available for any instructor drop that is initiated after the refund deadline.

For the most up to date information regarding the refund process, please visit https://bursars.ivc.edu.

Parking Fee Refunds

Please refer to the South Orange County Community College District Traffic & Parking Regulations, which can be viewed online at campuspolice.ivc.edu/Pages/parkingreg.aspx, for all information regarding refunds of parking fees. Fees are only refunded when a class is canceled by the college within 30 days of the start of classes due to insufficient enrollment and students are not enrolled in any other classes at the college during the semester; or if the student officially withdraws from all of their on-campus classes prior to the last day to drop the classes for refund eligibility.

Important: The permit must be received by Campus Police within the first four weeks of a regular term, or within the first two weeks of an eight-week term, if the student only enrolled in an eight-week term within a regular term or summer session. Parking permits not received by Campus Police within the timeframe given are not subject to refund. For parking regulations, please see the Policies and Standards section.

Student Representation Fee

The $2 Student Representation Fee is an optional fee collected at the time of registration for each enrolled student and established by CA Education Code: 76060.5. 

  • $1 will go to the ASIVC government to fund advocacy efforts for student leaders and student representatives to state their positions and viewpoints on behalf of Irvine Valley College students before city, county, district, state, and federal government, as well as other public agencies. 
     
  • $1 will be expended to establish and support the operations of a statewide community college student organization, recognized by the Board of Governors of the California Community Colleges, with effective student representation and participation in state-level community college shared governance and with governmental affairs representatives to advocate before the Legislature and other state and local governmental entities. Currently, the Student Senate for California Community Colleges (SSCCC) serves in this capacity. SSCCC hosts a general assembly annually and is made up of ten regions with student representatives from all 115 community colleges in the State of California.
