Irvine Valley College (IVC) students have the unique opportunity to attend California State University (CSU) or University of California (UC) campuses while they are still at IVC.
The Office of Admissions and Records must clear you to participate, so when you are ready, fill out the Application for Cross Enrollment Below are some specific details you need to be aware of when applying for this program.
The registration system will prevent you from repeating a class that is currently in progress, one in which you have received a passing grade, or if you have exceeded the repeat limit. A course may not be repeated for credit or for grade point average improvement if a grade of C or better has been earned. Any exception to this regulation must be approved by petition prior to registration. Courses in which you have previously earned a substandard grade (D, F, FW, NC, or NP) may be repeated unless otherwise indicated by course descriptions found in the current college catalog.
Check the Class Schedule – Important Dates for the last day to withdraw from most classes without a withdrawal notation ("W"). Students who withdraw from a class after the last day to add/drop and before the last day to withdraw will have a withdrawal notation for that class on their academic record. Short courses must be dropped before 20% of the course has been completed to be eligible for a drop without "W." For some very short courses, 20% of the course may be the first day of class.
Open classes may be added to your schedule prior to the start of the semester. During the first two weeks of the semester (first week during the summer session), you may add semester length classes with permission from the instructor. Check the Class Schedule – Important Dates for term-specific add/drop/withdrawal dates.
