Health and Safety

CCV is committed to providing a safe environment for students, faculty, and staff. We have policies regarding academic center safety, drug and alcohol use and abuse, sexual harassment, and disruptive persons, as well as CCV’s Emergency Reference Guide and a complete security report.

  • Emergency Situations 
    CCV does not employ a campus security force, but fosters a close relationship with local police departments. Incidents that occur at a CCV academic center, and may be criminal in nature, are reported promptly for investigation by the local law enforcement authority. The CCV community is notified of emergency situations by posting alerts at the affected center, on the CCV website, and by emailing the College community. In addition, emergency notifications will also include voice and text messages to the phone numbers that are provided to us.
    • In case of a College emergency, information will be posted and updated online. Always consult our website for the latest information.
    • For guidelines on how to be safe and what to do if you think you are the victim of a crime, consult the Safety and Security page.
    • The Crime Awareness and College Security policy further addresses safety and security, hate crime reporting, emergency response and evacuation procedures, and timely warnings.

Title IX

All CCV students have rights afforded to them under Federal Title IX which says:

No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance.

Under Title IX, schools are required to respond and remedy hostile educational environments. CCV has several policies that address Title IX and other federal protections.

Students with questions regarding Title IX should contact Angie Albeck, CCV Equity Officer/ Title IX Coordinator, 802-654-0690 or angie.albeck@ccv.edu, or Amy Stuart, Deputy Title IX Coordinator, 802-654-0542 or amy.stuart@ccv.edu.
