ARC Counseling

ARC counselors help plan your coursework and secure the accommodations and services you need to succeed at MPC.

Make an Appointment to Access Services

  Access Resource Center counselors are available by appointment, with some drop-in times available. Contact the ARC to schedule an appointment. Counseling services include:

Early Registration Assistance

Access Resource Center students may be eligible to receive priority registration if the student's ARC file is up-to-date, the student has met the college's academic requirements, and the accommodation is disability-related. 

ARC counselors are available on a drop-in basis during each priority registration period to assist with advising and WebReg (online registration).

On & Off Campus Resource Referral

MPC offers a variety of financial, academic and support programs on campus. A great list of on-campus programs is available on the Extended Opportunity Programs & Services (EOPS) Page.

Off Campus Resources

  • Department of Rehabilitation, (831) 769-8066, is a job-focused agency for people with disabilities. They may assist with college costs, if training is needed to re-enter the workforce.
  • Central Coast Center for Independent Living, (831) 757-2968, provides advocacy and referrals.

Learning Disability Assessment

The ARC Learning Skills Program has appointments available in the Learning Skills Assessment course (LNSK 330). The assessment will give you information on your individual cognitive/perceptual and  academic strengths and weaknesses, as well as determine whether or not you are eligible to receive services from our program. 

If you are having difficulty in academic courses due to a possible learning disability, please contact the ARC to determine if LNSK 330 is appropriate.
