Eligible students may enroll in honors-designated courses, most of which meet the general education transfer requirements for the University of California and California State University systems. Honors sections are noted in the schedule of classes by the letter "H" before the ticket number.
For special consideration by transfer institutions and for recognition on the transcript, Honors Program students must complete a minimum of five courses and 15 letter-graded units of honors-designated coursework during their academic career at IVC (courses taken on a credit/ no-credit basis do not fulfill Honors Program requirements). Students must maintain an overall GPA of 3.25; they must also achieve a 3.25 GPA in their honors courses. Students may not take all five of the required honors courses in the spring semester prior to transfer.
