Danville Community College developed from two institutions, Danville Technical Institute and the Danville Division of Virginia Polytechnic Institute opened in 1936 as Danville Textile School, becoming Danville Technical Institute just after World War II. The Danville Division of Virginia Polytechnic Institute first began as an engineering division in 1946, and was later expanded to include the first two years of course work for all engineering, business administration, liberal arts, and science majors. Beginning in the summer of 1966, all programs taught by Danville Technical Institute were brought under the Virginia Department of Community Colleges. Effective July 1, 1968, the Danville Division of Virginia Polytechnic Institute merged with the existing community college providing the comprehensive programs now offered.

The Early College program serves as a dual enrollment program, where students take DCC college classes while still enrolled in high school in order to earn an Associates degree at the time of high school graduation. The program allows greater college access to students in this diverse region, many of whom are underrepresented in higher education, and allows them to do so in a convenient and supportive environment. This position will work closely with the partnering high schools to provide support and oversee the administrative duties required for program success. This position will also work with Dual Enrollment students and their parents as the students transition to DCC for post-secondary enrollment.

Duties and Responsibilities:

This position will have a comprehensive knowledge of all college policies and procedures, including the application, enrollment, placement, and orientation processes for dual enrollment/early college and incoming students and will also understand the administrative procedures for registration and enrollment functions within the DCC Student Information System (SIS).

Specific responsibilities and functions include:
