Disability Resources and Services at Mesa Community College and the Maricopa County Community College District strives to make reasonable academic accommodations to all students with disabilities.

These include modification or adjustment that allows an individual to gain equal access and have equal opportunity to participate in MCC's courses, services, activities, and use of the facilities.
