NVC Cares – Office of Student Conduct & Title IX

 

Safety Exit

The Alamo Colleges District is committed to providing a supportive learning environment and to fostering, safe, healthy relationships among our students.

In this effort, the Alamo Colleges District has initiated AlamoCARES, a prevention, education and support program regarding dating violence, domestic violence, sexual assault, and stalking. 

It is our sincere hope that AlamoCARES will empower you to make well-informed decisions about life issues that affect your college years and beyond.

Within the AlamoCARES site,  you will find information on rights granted by Title IX and resources to help educate and assist you when dealing with harassment and sexual violence. Events, training, and opportunities for bringing awareness to difficult issues and creating discussion opportunities with students are available on a regular basis.

Student Conduct FAQs

The Office of Student Conduct will review the report to determine if it falls under Student Conduct or Title IX. Both processes begin the same way with interviews of the complainant, alleged, and witnesses.

Title IX is a federal law that prohibits discrimination based on sex (gender) of students, including sexual harassment, sexual misconduct, sexual violence, sexual exploitation, and relationship/dating violence.

This policy is also in compliance with HB 1735, codified as Texas Education Code, Sub-Chapter E-3, Section 51.281-51.295 on sexual harassment, sexual assault, dating violence and stalking applicable to each enrolled student and employee of the institution.

When do I file a Title IX Reporting Form?
Anytime you are worried about a potential Title IX issue has occurred. If you see something, tell someone. It is the Office of Student Conduct’s job to review and assess all reports that come in.

If it is an emergency and you fear for your safety or the safety of others, please call Alamo Colleges Police Department 210-485-0911

Can I follow up on a report that was submitted?
A confirmation of receipt will be sent after a report is received stating that it will be investigated and addressed.

If a Title IX complaint is reported the complainant and the alleged will be notified concurrently of the result.

What happens if it is decided the issue is Title IX?
The process for handling Title IX issues resides with the Vice President of Student Success. Additional information is available regarding Title IX in the Sexual Misconduct Student Resource Guide.

What Title IX training is required?
All new and returning students at Northwest Vista College are required to complete mandatory Title IX training during their first semester of enrollment. Students will receive an email to their ACES email address with instructions on how to complete the training. The training is due by November 1 for summer or fall enrollment and April 1 for spring enrollment.

If you have questions about the training or have a Title IX hold, send them to: nvc-titleixhold@ballballu.com and include your full name, banner ID, and ACES user ID.
