The VHCC Faculty & Staff Manual (VHCC F&S
Manual) contains information regarding the
structure, organization, policies, and
procedures of the College based on applicable
state laws, and regulations emanating from the
State Council of Higher Education for Virginia (SCHEV)
and the State Board for Community Colleges as
defined in the Virginia Community College System
(VCCS) Policy Manual. In addition, the VHCC F&S
Manual contains locally developed policies and
procedures.
The VHCC F&S Manual is organized in a fashion
similar to the VCCS Policy Manual and contains
numerous references and links to pertinent
information in the VCCS Policy Manual and other
applicable documents. SCHEV, VCCS, our College
Board, our leadership team (President’s Advisory
Council-PAC), and College committees all have
the opportunity to recommend revisions and
updates to the Manual, but all changes must be
first approved by the President before
implementation. The document itself is
maintained by the Office of the Vice President
of Financial and Administrative Services.
Notification of revisions and updates to the
VHCC F&S Manual will be sent to all current VHCC
faculty, staff, and administrators via e-mail
and will be posted on the home page of the VHCC
F&S Manual during the academic year in which the
change occurs.
VHCC faculty, staff, and administrators are
responsible for knowing and following the
policies and procedures contained in the VHCC
F&S Manual. If a conflict exists between a
policy stated in the VCCS Policy Manual and the
VHCC F&S Manual, the VCCS policy will have
precedence. Nothing in the VHCC F&S Manual
should be interpreted as creating any right or
benefit not duly authorized as provided by law,
or which is contrary to any law, policy, rule,
or regulation of the Commonwealth of Virginia or
of the State Board for Community Colleges. Nor
should anything contained in the VHCC F&S Manual
be interpreted as restricting the authority of
the State Board for Community Colleges as
conferred by the Virginia General Assembly.
In order to ensure that our Faculty and Staff
Manual is kept current, certain offices are
assigned responsibility for each Section as
follows:
