Dear Friends,

Imperial Valley College is facing its most serious fiscal crisis in many years due to the ongoing state budget situation and resulting cutbacks to higher education.

We are not alone. Statewide, since the 2009-10 Academic Year, actual per student funding has been cut by $300 while the cost of living has increased by 16 percent. Funding for 130,000 full-time equivalent students has been slashed and there have been deep cuts to student success initiatives. Meanwhile, fees have doubled from $600 per year (on the average) to $1,380 per year.

All of these have been driven by the state legislature and the monumental fiscal disaster California has been facing. For more information, please visit the California Community...

The issues we are having with our telephone carriers are ongoing. The issues involve our old carrier failing to release certain telephone numbers to our new carrier. This is resulting in these numbers being inaccessible from certain local calling prefixes. In other words, someone with a local number may not be able to direct-dial a particular number on campus.

Until we are able to resolve the issues, there is a temporary way to mitigate the situation. The main number, 760-352-8320, is accessible from all prefixes. If callers dial this number, they can then transfer to any extension by entering the extension number at the appropriate prompt.

We apologize for this temporary inconvenience, we are confident that our carrier will be able to resolve the issue as quickly as possible.
