Transportation

FREE Bus Passes

31-day bus passes are available to students at no cost once per month, and while supplies last. Students can pick up the bus passes in Student Life and Leadership (S&D-KSC 102) and (RDM-M210).

Discount Bus Voucher Program

Through the MCCCD Travel Reduction Program, bus subsidies are offered to students through an online process. To qualify for a student discount, students must be enrolled in 12 or more credit hours. We offer 31-day passes with a choice of “Local” or “Express.” Semester passes are sold during the first few weeks of the semester. The 31-day transit pass is $32, and the semester transit pass is $115.

To Purchase a discounted transit pass, visit the Office of Student Life and Leadership. Vouchers will be given out once your status as a full time student is verified. Payment will be processed by the MCC Bookstore. Discounted bus vouchers are available on a first come-first served basis and tend to go very quickly at the beginning of each semester and/or month. Additional bus passes are available for puchase at full price in the MCC Bookstore for students who do not meet the qualifications as a full time student, or in the event that we run out of discounted vouchers.

For information about the Maricopa County Community College District reduced-fare bus passes, please visit this link. Full-time and part-time employees who commute at least four days a week and ride the bus at least one of those days, are eligible for the discount. Please contact your Human Resources department.

The Valley Metro Bus is available for Dobson Road, north and southbound travel and Southern Avenue, east and westbound travel. Valley Metro bus service no longer stops directly on the Red Mountain campus, but stops near the Acacia Village parking lot on Bus route 184 (north and southbound Power Road).For specific bus route information refer to the Valley Metro website at www.valleymetro.org.

Lower the Cost of Your Commute

Just Insure, Inc. knows that starting college or returning for a new semester can be stressful enough and the last thing students need to worry about it auto insurance. They are partnering with MCC to make things as simple and easy as possible. That means everything is done through an app on your phone. Getting auto insurance is as simple as answering a few questions and paying $30. It's really that easy. Learn more.

The Mesa Market provides free food and hygiene products for Mesa Community College students. Any MCC student can visit Student Life and Leadership anytime our office is open and a team member will lead you to the Mesa Market to do your "shopping." Students can receive up to 10 free food items and 5 free hygiene items per week.

In addition to offering free food and hygiene products, we also offer free donated clothes for students at our Southern and Dobson campus only. Our clothes are located outside of the Mesa Market in KSC135S. If you would like to donate clothes to the market, please visit Student Life and Leadership.

Please refer to this document for information on additional community resources that are available.

We Care Wednesdays

Student Handbook 2022-2023

We have made the decision to no longer print the MCC Student Handbook. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. We will still be providing a link to a digital student handbook, containing all of the important content that was in the printed version of the handbook. We encourage you to check the MCC bookstore or a local retailer for a planner you can use to organize your time, or use your MCC Google Calendar to keep organized digitally.
