The Disability Resource Center (DRC)
Welcome
The mission of the Disability Resource Center (DRC) at Cañada College is to facilitate academic success for students with disabilities, limitations and/or learning challenges by providing support services & equal access to all educational programs and activities on campus so they may achieve their full potential.
