Where we foster excellence in education that challenges students of every background to develop their intellect, character, and abilities; to assist students in achieving their educational and career goals; and to be responsive to the greater community.
In 2019, California passed AB 1504 (Medina) which requires colleges to collect a $2 Student Representation Fee (SRF). One dollar is allocated to the local student body association (SBA)(also known as ASG), and the other dollar is allocated to the Student Senate for California Community Colleges (SSCCC). The SBA advocates for the students at Imperial Valley College by participating in college governance committees, developing policies affecting students, budgeting for events and clubs, and enhancing the overall student experience.
The SSCCC is recognized by the California Community Colleges Board of Governors and is the official voice of over 2.1 million California community college students. The SSCCC is focused on pursuing policies that improve student access, promote student success, engage and empower local student leaders, and enrich the collegiate experience for all community college students.
Both the SBA and SSCCC advocate and represent students before City of Imperial, Imperial County, and Imperial Community College District governments and offices and agencies of the state and federal government.
The SRF is assigned at the time of registration. The $2.00 Student Representation Fee is optional, however, the fee is designed to provide support for student government representing positions & viewpoints that will benefit you and all IVC students to government representatives. If you wish to opt out of paying this fee, please contact the Student Affairs Office for instruction on how to opt out. Students must opt out before each semester or summer/winter session you in which you enroll.
