Annual/Semester Parking Permits

Annual permits cover the academic school year, and are only available for purchase during the fall semester. Annual permits will be valid through August 31, 2017. 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)

Daily parking permits can be purchased at permit dispensers near the entrances of parking lots 2, 5, 8 and 10. 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-$256 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. 

Application Processing Fee-$54 per application, required of all international students. This fee is nonrefundable.

Capital Outlay Fee-$74 per unit, required of all nonresident students, in addition to the Tuition Fee.

Refunds

Important: Refunds are not processed automatically and must be requested by the student. If classes have been dropped online or in person, the refund request form is still required to be submitted. Students may choose to leave a credit on the student account to cover future enrollment charges.

​Students are eligible for a full refund of most fees, provided they have officially dropped or withdrawn from classes prior to the refund deadline or their classes have been canceled by the college.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. 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.

If eligible for a refund, a check refund will only be authorized if the original payment was made by cash or a check, or if the original payment is older than a year.  To be eligible for a credit card refund, the original payment must have been made by a credit card within the last year. All refund requests must be submitted online by using the Refund Request Form. Please view the Refund Process page for more information on how to obtain the refund. Please do not email your credit card information, as email is not a secure communication method. Once the request is submitted online, the submitter will receive an initial email confirming the submission at the email address provided on the refund request form. After the Bursar’s Office has reviewed the request and the respective student account, a second email will be sent providing an authorization for the refund. The second email will contain the amount of refund next to the type of refund (check, VISA, MasterCard, Discover). If the authorized type of refund is a check, please verify that the mailing address on the student’s MySite student profile is up to date. Otherwise, the refund will not be successfully delivered. If the authorized type of refund is a credit card, the student must call or come in-person to the Bursar’s Office in order to complete the refund transaction. The student must be the one to call or come in-person to the Bursar’s Office with the 16 digit credit card number and expiration date to complete the refund. Even if a third party has made the payment on behalf of the student, the student must still be the one who completes and claims the refund. Also, in the event that the refund type is a check, the check refund will be made payable in the student name.

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.
