First-Year Counseling & Registration

Current or returning (non-high school) students should visit www.ivcc.edu/connect for options in selecting classes.

Please allow up to 2 hours to complete your First Year Counseling and Registration (FCR) session.

Apply online. Call 815-224-0439 with any problems you encounter when completing the application.

If you have taken dual credit classes or if you have been out of IVCC for more than 3 years, you will need to submit a new application.
Determine if you need placement testing:
Visit the Assessment Center’s Placement Options

IVCC highly recommends that ALL students take the math placement test as more options for coursework are available. (Exceptions are students who have completed AP Calculus AB or BC w/ 3 or higher, students who have completed a Transitional Math course with a C or higher or dual credit MTH-1003 College Algebra with a C or higher). Placement tests are required for students wishing to enroll in calculus. Be sure your placement test is completed before you attend your FCR appointment.
Placement tests, high school transcript, and college transcript(s), standardized test scores and/or evidence of grades/scores can be emailed to counseling@ivcc.edu. Include the student name and date of birth in the subject line.
