Danville Community College Second 8-week Classes Begin March 14
On March 14, 2022, DCC will begin their second 8-week course offerings for students who wish to complete their courses faster, or for those who may have missed the January deadline for 16-week spring semester classes.
Need Canvas or Library Help?
Do you want to chat with someone immediately? Is Canvas giving you trouble? Do you need help finding resources for your class projects?
There are many ways to get some answers and get help from a librarian or Canvas expert. 

All you have to do is ASK!

Our chat service is available 24/7!  It is staffed by the librarians during the day, but when we are not available, professionals we partner with from all over Virginia will help answer your questions.
PTK Monthly Meetings
Our local Phi Theta Kappa chapter will hold its monthly meetings on the first and third Thursdays of each month at 11:00 a.m. in Taylor 201. Snacks are provided.  
Come out and see what PTK is all about. If you have not received an email invitation to join, please see Mrs. Mary Motley in Temple 106F, call her at 434-797-6246, or email her at mary.motley@danville.edu.
