We're a professional community that takes great pride in representing the remarkable faculty of Irvine Valley College on important academic and professional issues. We operate in line with the valuable guidelines laid out in the California Education Code and Title 5 of the California Code of Regulations, along with other significant statutes and regulations.
The Institutional Effectiveness Partnership Initiative (IEPI) is a collaborative effort to help advance the institutional effectiveness of California Community Colleges. The IEPI has asked all California Community Colleges to have a conversation about several metrics that reflect different aspects of the College’s operations. IVC’s Institutional Effectiveness Committee has reviewed these metrics and has established goals for the coming year. These goals will be monitored and discussed by the Institutional Effectiveness Committee and any changes will be reported to the college community.
As one of California's leading community colleges and one of Orange County's best known educational institutions, we provide students exceptional educational opportunities in outstanding facilities and an extraordinary faculty and staff.
