Academic Advising
Advising services are delivered by both staff advisors and faculty members and are available at all campuses to support a student’s academic goals. Academic advising is critical to your success, satisfaction, retention, and graduation from Mohave Community College. A student services specialist is assigned to a student upon entry. The role of the student services specialist is to help define and shape academic plans to meet educational goals by preparing academic progress plans and selecting classes. They have access to resources that will provide students with options as well as direction in various career choices. According to the student’s’ needs and educational goals, they will assist in creating a plan to stay on track for graduation.
New Students: Meeting with a student services specialist is one of the best things you can do to facilitate success in your education. Student services specialists can help you develop an education plan for goal achievement, select your class schedule for an upcoming semester, explore majors or careers, and connect you to campus resources. Student services specialists will use available information (e.g., high school transcripts, assessment scores and other data) to assist you in pursuing a program consistent with your education goals and level of preparation.
Continuing Students: You may enroll in courses for which you have completed the prerequisites without a student services specialist’s signature. However, you must meet with a student services specialist if you:
- Plan to receive financial aid.
- Select courses for which you have not met prerequisites.
- Change your degree, major, or catalog year.
- Need to add or drop a class.
- Need help to review your academic progress.
- Plan to transfer to a university.
- Experience academic difficulties.
- Are within one semester of completing your degree or certificate program.
Succeeding at MCC: You are responsible for knowing the degree requirements and for ensuring that the courses in which you enroll will meet those requirements. To gain a total college experience, you are encouraged to familiarize yourself with MCC services, activities, and resources. You should become familiar with the class schedule, the college catalog, and the Student Handbook. You are also encouraged to participate in programs, classes, and activities that help you develop and grow academically. MCC faculty and student services specialists, as well as family and peers, can all be valuable sources of information on how to succeed in college.

Disability Services
The mission of MCC Disability Services is to empower students with disabilities to succeed by facilitating access through accommodations and advocacy.
MCC Disability Services is the department designated to facilitate services and resources for students with documented disabilities.
Each campus has a student services specialist who coordinates support for individuals with disabilities. These individuals help coordinate disability accommodations and referral services for students with documented disabilities.
Disability is defined as a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities.
MCC Disability Services on each campus provide the following services:
- Maintain documentation related to a student’s disability and student accommodation requests.
- Support and assist disabled students.
- In collaboration with the student, instructor and disability services specialist, determine and review accommodation requests each term.
- Use student provided documentation to determine if a student is an individual with a disability.
- Facilitate reasonable accommodations.
- Ensure that Mohave Community College is ADA compliant in both real and virtual environments.
- Maintain confidentiality of all disability records.
- Advise students regarding appropriate courses and degree programs.
Note: The College does not provide personal devices, personal attendants, or transportation.
Students who feel they may qualify as an individual with a disability must self-identify and provide appropriate documentation to MCC Disability Services. The college may require up to six weeks’ notice to provide disability related accommodations. Without appropriate documentation, no accommodations can be provided to the student. Accommodations are based on the documented disability. Accommodations must be requested each semester a student is enrolled in classes. If a student is registered with MCC Disability Services but has not developed and signed accommodation requests, they are not eligible to receive accommodations. For more information and additional related resources, visit Disability Services, the Student Handbook, or call MCC Connect or 1.866.664.2832 (TTY Use Relay 771).
Dual Enrollment
Mohave Community College has established agreements with local high schools to offer selected courses, at no cost, to students who have been identified as candidates for college-level work. Dual Enrollment courses are offered in both academic and occupational areas at the high schools. Students who successfully complete one or more dual enrollment courses receive credit toward high school graduation and college credits that apply to graduation from college.
Dual Enrollment is designed primarily for high school juniors and seniors. However, a limited number of freshmen and sophomores who meet course prerequisites and are prepared to benefit from college-level coursework can enroll in the program as well.
There are several benefits of dual enrollment including the convenience of taking college courses on the high school campus rather than travelling to the college. In addition, Dual Enrollment courses and textbooks are free to all students who meet the eligibility. These cost savings represent a considerable advantage to students and their families who can save up to two years’ worth of college tuition and materials costs.
Because Mohave Community College is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission and is a member of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools, most courses transfer to other colleges and universities. Dual enrollment courses are available in a variety of disciplines preparing students for university transfer or for occupational careers.
To enroll in a dual enrollment course, a student must:
- satisfy the prerequisites for the course as published in the college catalog,
- be a high school junior or senior (or be eligible for a waiver),
- have appropriate COMPASS, SAT, or ACT scores,
- have the approval of the high school’s principal and counselors.
For more information regarding participating schools or related resources, visit the Dual Enrollment webpage, an area high school guidance counselor, or call MCC Connect .
