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

These include a 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. MCC is not obligated to provide an accommodation that requires a substantial change in the curriculum or alteration of any essential elements or functions of a program.
