Title IX at HGTC

Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, federal laws, and state laws prohibit discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, age, national origin, disability, sex or veteran status in educational programs and activities at Horry Georgetown Technical College. As outlined in the Violence Against Women Act, Horry Georgetown Technical College prohibits the offenses of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking and will provide students, faculty, and staff with necessary information regarding prevention, policies, procedures, and resources.

Horry Georgetown Technical College is committed to providing a safe and secure environment for all members of the college community. The Vice President of Business Affairs shall be primarily responsible for accomplishment of this objective, but may work with other divisions within the college to ensure attainment of this goal. The College has employed a Public Safety Department to provide services or assistance, within guidelines established by the College and pursuant to state and federal regulations, to maintain a safe and secure environment for faculty, staff, students and the general community. The College will also establish programs, procedures, rules, regulations and guidelines designed to provide a safe and secure environment, and to otherwise ensure compliance with state, federal and other requirements.

The Office of Student Affairs and the Office of Human Resources work together to ensure such programs, procedures, rules, regulations, and guidelines are available to students, faculty, and staff. To view the College’s Student Code Procedures for addressing alleged acts of sexual violence and sexual harassment, please view the 2016-2017 Horry Georgetown Technical College Catalog & Student Handbook.
