Sexual Violence

Alexandria Technical & Community College does not tolerate sexual misconduct or sexual violence of any kind in any context. We are committed to empowering students who experience sexual assault or other forms of gender-based violence (GBV) to pursue disciplinary, criminal, and civil action if they choose to do so.

Please call 911, if it's an emergency.

Have you experienced Gender Based Violence?

If you are a member of the Alexandria Technical & Community College community and have experienced sexual harassment, sexual assault, rape, dating/intimate partner or domestic violence, harassment based on gender nonconformity, stalking, cyber-stalking, or retaliation, you have options for support.

If you are not sure whether or not you want to keep an issue confidential, begin by contacting one of the options for confidential support.

FYI: No disciplinary action will be taken against you by ATCC for violating campus conduct policy regarding alcohol or drug use if you are reporting an act of gender-based violence.
