General Matriculation Procedures

Matriculation Rights and Responsibilities

Matriculation is a process which assists you in choosing, planning, and achieving your educational and career goals. It is IVC's way of supporting your right to succeed in college. Matriculation is a partnership between you and Imperial Valley College.

IVC agrees to:

• Help students to succeed in their college careers.
• Assist students in making decisions based on accurate information
• Offer services and resources for proper course selection
• Provide an opportunity to develop a Student Education Plan (SEP).

You agree to:

• Select an educational goal or major by the semester following the completion of 15 semester units.
• Register for classes.
• Attend class regularly.
• Meet with a counselor to develop a Student Education Plan (SEP).
• Request additional services when needed.
• Complete your educational goal.

Prior to registration, all non-exempt students must complete the following steps that apply:

• Complete on-line application for admission.
• Send in all transcripts from other colleges.
• Complete an orientation and take placement tests.
• Meet with a counselor for proper selection of courses.

New, returning, or transfer students who may be exempted from the matriculation process are students who:

• Already have an associate's or bachelor's degree
• Are attending IVC for personal enrichment
• Are enrolled only in non-credit community education courses
• Are taking classes only to upgrade job skills
• Are enrolled in apprenticeship or other special vocational education programs
• Are concurrently enrolled in high school or other colleges

Exempt students are not required to participate in the matriculation process but are encouraged to see a counselor at any time.

The college may suspend or terminate services to any student who fails to fulfill his/her responsibilities. However, the college may never suspend or terminate any service for which a student is otherwise entitled under any other provision of law. In addition, students may challenge any Matriculation requirement or regulation using the petition process found in the IVC catalog.
