Here at the Disabilities Services Program at Merritt, we understand that we are only one part of our students success. We have organized a non-exhaustive list of local and regional resources to better serve anyone seeking more support or engagement in the community. Additionally, we also maintain a list of national resources. Merritt Community College is a growing college community. Students with disabilities attending Merritt College have access to a great number of Human Service-Community Resources. These resources are helpful in all human needs.
