    • Sexual assault

While it is often thought of as a law that applies to athletics programs, Title IX is much broader than athletics and applies to all programs, services, and activities at Randolph Community College. While compliance with the law is everyone's responsibility at Randolph Community College, listed below are the staff members who have primary responsibility for Title IX compliance.

If you believe that you have been or are being subjected to any of the above misconduct, please contact a Title IX coordinator or a trusted faculty or staff member, who will notify the Title IX Coordinator. To help with the investigation, completion of the Confidential Title IX Discrimination Form is encouraged.
