There is no more placement testing!

• Due to the implementation of AB 705, IVC will no longer offer the Math and English

Assessment. Students will now be required to attend an Orientation Workshop that will

present items pertaining to becoming oriented with the campus and services. At the end of the

presentation students will then complete a self-guided placement survey and submit a copy of

their HS transcript. These items will provide students with a placement within 24 hours of

attending the workshop.

• IVC – No H.S. Preview Day for 2019! Will continue Freshman Advantage

Program, Laser week (in August) and will hold weekly campus tours.
