Basic Needs

By reducing barriers, we can provide the support you need to succeed!

MCC understands that when life is hard, succeeding in the classroom is also hard. Our holistic support program is designed to connect you to campus and community resources to help you meet your basic needs like food, utilities support and housing needs.

Students can request basic needs assistance by clicking here or by contacting Leslie Tracy, Counselor for MCC-Online and Basic Needs:
