Northern Wyoming Community College District (NWCCD) is committed to maintaining a safe and secure campus environment. Our campuses feature well-lit pedestrian walkways joining all main buildings.

Emergency Planning

All students and employees have the opportunity to attend trainings based on A.L.I.C.E. training institute curriculum.  A.L.I.C.E. (Alert, Lockdown, Inform, Counter, and Evacuate) is the leading provider of emergency response training for all ages.

Our district has comprehensive safety plans that include:

  • Emergency response
  • Evacuation
  • Lockdown

Our District utilizes communication channels in case of emergency including radio, on-campus audible alert system, and a NWCCD Alert Me text-based system. We will also post to the official NWCCD website, social media outlets, and digital signage in campus buildings when appropriate.

Commitment to Title IX

Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 is a federal law that prohibits sexual harassment and sex discrimination in educational programs and activities. Students, staff, and faculty have the right to pursue education — including in-classroom and work environments, athletic programs, scholarships, and other activities — free from sex-based discrimination including sexual harassment, sexual assault, stalking, and intimate partner violence.

NWCCD has a comprehensive policy and resolution procedure to respond to complaints of sex-based discrimination and sexual harassment. NWCCD’s policies and procedures also extend to students and employees at Gillette Community College District (GCCD). Any person at GCCD or NWCCD should contact any of the persons noted below to make a report or to better understand rights and options.
