Winter Intersession

Illinois Valley Community College is offering students the opportunity to pick up online college credit over holiday break. IVCC’s new “Winter Intersession” begins Dec. 16 and runs through Jan. 8.

“These courses provide an opportunity for our students to get ahead and for university students home for break to pick up a class at our low tuition rate,” said Vice President for Student Services Mark Grzybowski.

The 24-day session includes online courses in:

• Wellness (HPE 1000) 
• Personal and Community Health (HPE 1003)

The deadline for registering for Winter Intersession courses is Dec 16th.

These are fully online classes.

Delivered via the internet with dates and deadlines, but no specific meeting times online or in-person.
