If you or someone you know experiences mental health issues, it is important to seek help from a qualified professional. The IVC Health and Wellness Center has a team of licensed therapists who are available to support you with your mental health and wellness.

Final exams are stressful, but they don't have to be distressful. Because exams require you to produce information and results, not just receive them as in lectures, they are stressful. Your mind and body naturally react to the anticipation of these demands. Getting "psyched up" about finals helps you stay alert, attentive, and focused. Too much worry, however, may lead to final exam panic, a syndrome known to many IVC students. Below are symptoms.

Congratulations!

Irvine Valley College is committed to the academic and personal success of all students including those who are pregnant and parenting. We have various support services designed to help parenting students succeed and thrive at IVC.
