Student Representation Fee
The $2 Student Representation Fee is an optional fee collected at the time of registration for each enrolled student and established by CA Education Code: 76060.5.
- $1 will go to the ASIVC government to fund advocacy efforts for student leaders and student representatives to state their positions and viewpoints on behalf of Irvine Valley College students before city, county, district, state, and federal government, as well as other public agencies.
- $1 will be expended to establish and support the operations of a statewide community college student organization, recognized by the Board of Governors of the California Community Colleges, with effective student representation and participation in state-level community college shared governance and with governmental affairs representatives to advocate before the Legislature and other state and local governmental entities. Currently, the Student Senate for California Community Colleges (SSCCC) serves in this capacity. SSCCC hosts a general assembly annually and is made up of ten regions with student representatives from all 115 community colleges in the State of California.
