Students with Disabilities
If you have been the victim of sexual harassment or other sexual misconduct, you have certain rights under Title IX. For additional information regarding your rights, please consult the DCC Title IX website at www.danville.edu/titleix.
In accordance with College policy and federal law, all faculty and staff members are required to report incidents of sexual harassment including sexual violence to the College. These incidents should be reported via the Title IX Report Form at www.danville.edu/titleix. Students may also use this form to report incidents. For a complaint against a Danville Community College faculty or staff member for sexual harassment, sexual assault, sex discrimination, or other forms of sexual misconduct, please submit the Title IX Report Form at www.danville.edu/titleix.

College Policy on Firearms and Other Weapons
Firearms and dangerous weapons of any type are NOT PERMITTED on or in campus facilities, except when carried by bona fide law enforcement officers in their official capacities. The use, possession (including in parked cars on campus), or sale of ammunition, firearms, or other weapons is strictly forbidden and may result in penalties which include denial or revocation of admission and suspension from the College. Possession or carrying of any weapon by any person, except a police officer, is prohibited on college property in academic buildings, administrative office buildings, student centers, child care centers, dining facilities and places of like kind where people congregate, or while attending any sporting, entertainment or educational events. Entry upon the aforementioned college property in violation of this prohibition is expressly forbidden.
Any individual in violation of this prohibition will be asked to remove the weapon immediately. Failure to comply may result in a student conduct referral, an employee disciplinary action, or arrest.
Security
Security for our students and their property while on campus is an ongoing concern for DCC. If you are aware of an emergency or immediate safety concerns, call 911 and report the danger to law enforcement. If you are concerned about threatening behavior or a disturbing situation that is NOT an emergency event, contact campus security (434)797-8533 or submit the information to threat@danville.edu.
