Resources and options for help

If you have experienced sexual and/or relationship misconduct, MCC is committed to offering you the resources and support you deserve. Remember that no matter the circumstances, you are not to blame. Give yourself permission to do what you need to do to take care of yourself.

You are entitled to receive the full range of resources and support services the College has to offer, including academic, employment, emotional support; and advocacy services.

Supportive Measures

MCC can take immediate steps to protect you and to ensure your safety and well-being, as well as that of the campus community. Supportive measures depend largely on the incident at issue and are determined by the college on a case-by-case basis.

You do not need to make a formal report to the College to request supportive measures.  Contact a Title IX Coordinator to discuss supportive measures that can be offered to you.
