Virginia Peninsula Community College Reporting and Policy Information
Why Report?
The Importance of Timely Reporting!
- The incident has negatively affected your academics or employment.
- You have concerns about your safety or the safety of the community.
- You witnessed and/or were provided information about a crime or potential crime.

- You want the college to pursue disciplinary action against the Respondent.
- You want a No Contact Directive to be put in place between you and the Respondent.
- Reporting an incident informs the college of the incident, which allows the institution to review/investigate the reported information and to provide support, resources, and/or accommodations to all the parties impacted by the incident, as determined necessary and/or appropriate, and does not necessarily result in the initiation of a grievance process.
