Tuition and Fee Information

ALL fees are subject to change. Registration is not complete until all required course fees have been paid.

Enrollment Fee

An enrollment fee of $46 per unit is required of all students, with the following exemptions:

  • Concurrently enrolled high school students: 9th through 12th grade.
    NOTE: Other fees are not waived through this program.
  • Students with the California College Promise Grant (CCPG), formerly known as the Board of Governors (BOG) Fee Waiver. More information can be obtained through the Office of Financial Aid.
  • Students with the California Department of Veterans Affairs’ Waiver. More information can be obtained through the Veterans Services Center.
    NOTE: The enrollment fee is set by the State Legislature. The college will make every effort to inform students if and when the fee changes.

Nonresident Student Fees

Nonresident student fee amounts are assessed in addition to the fees applicable to students who are residents of the State of California:

  • Tuition Fee: $319 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: $42 per unit, required of all nonresident students, in addition to the Tuition Fee.
  • Application Processing Fee: $54 per application, required of all international students. This fee is nonrefundable.

Instructional Materials Fee

This fee is required of all students enrolled in certain courses.

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

Health Fee

The fee is $26 for the fall and spring semesters; $22 for the summer session. 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.

NOTE: Health fees are subject to change. More information regarding the health services students are entitled to receive through the health fee program can be obtained through the Health and Wellness Center.

Associated Students of Irvine Valley College (ASIVC) Access

ASIVC Access is an opt-out fee which provides no-cost entry to campus athletic events; discounted Regal Cinema, AMC Theatre, and theme park tickets; an opportunity to apply for the Associated Students of Irvine Valley College (ASIVC) scholarship awards; and many more benefits. More information can be obtained through the ASIVC Office.

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.

Transcript or Enrollment Verification Fee

Please see the Office of Admissions and Records for more information. 

Returned Check Fee

A $20 fee will be assessed for each check dishonored by the bank for whatever reason.

NOTE: Once a check is submitted by a student, it is considered to be his or her enrollment confirmation. Placing a stop payment on a check does not in any way cancel the student’s financial obligation to the college, nor does it clear an enrollment record.

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 ivc.edu/bursars.

All automobile annual and semester parking permits are sold online through MySite and will be mailed to the address provided by the student.

IVC annual/semester parking permits are also valid at Saddleback College 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. Properly displayed daily permits are valid in student parking only. 

Refunds

Please refer to the South Orange County Community College District Traffic and Parking Regulations, which can be accessed from ivc.edu/police, 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 Standards of Student Conduct and Discipline Procedures .
