FAFSA Simplification & What These Changes Mean For You

In 2020, the FAFSA Simplification Act was enacted into law with the goal of making the application simpler and making more students eligible for federal student aid. Some of the changes are being made to the FAFSA form itself, to the terminologies used, and to how need analysis is calculated.

When you are completing the FAFSA for 2024-25, keep in mind these key changes to help you navigate the new application:

Arts Village Opens for Classes

At the start of the Spring '24 semester, Irvine Valley College (IVC) opened its Arts Village for classes. The complex spanning 62,471 gross square feet consolidates the School of the Arts into three main structures: Music/Dance, Visual Arts, and Fine Arts/Gallery. The new complex is located southwest of IVC’s Performing Arts Center and adjacent to the new Parking Lot 6. A noteworthy feature of the Arts Village is its architectural design, with all buildings achieving LEED Gold equivalency.
