Community College Applications Now Open!
|
|
As of December 1 all California Community College applications are now open! That includes the Freshman Advantage Program at Irvine Valley College. The Freshman Advantage program is designed for high school seniors coming to Irvine Valley College in the Fall of 2018. This program offers high school seniors the opportunity to apply early, receive a Freshman Advantage Early Registration time, and enroll in their classes before most currently enrolled IVC students! IVC cannot emphasize enough the importance of this program for high school seniors. A better registration appointment for Fall 2018 AND Spring 2019 will provide high school students with a strong start. Students are strongly encouraged to apply early!

School life can be very busy before Christmas break and often times students slip back into old habits. This is good time to have your child revisit their goals and keep in mind that little distractions may be keeping them from achieving those larger goals for the year. Have them make a list of all the things in their life they feel are causing distractions and help them to come up with positive solutions to eliminate those distractions. Eliminating even a few distractions will help them refocus as they prepare for final exams.
