The Office of Disability Services (ODS) provides you and our diverse population of students with disabilities with a full range of advocacy and learning services. ODS assists you, as well as other College departments, in providing access to services and programs in the most integrated setting possible. - Multicultural Student Center
The Bristol Multicultural Student Center welcomes students, faculty and staff of all cultures, identities, backgrounds, abilities and orientations.
Our goal at the Multicultural Student Center (MSC) is to strengthen cultural competency and become a more inclusive social learning environment by providing students with a safe, judgment free space on campus to socialize freely about themselves, their community and the world. - Student Clubs
What’s your passion? Whatever it is, chances are, no matter how different or obscure, at Bristol Community College, you won’t be the only person who’s into it. It doesn't matter if you're just looking for a hobby in between classes, or something that you can put on your resume: there is something for everyone at Bristol. - Veteran's Center
If you are a United States military veteran, the Joseph A. Marshall Veterans Center provides you with academic counseling and educational benefit certification. To receive education benefits, you must be certified by one of our Veteran’s Certifying Officials. Your eligibility and benefit payments are based on the length and time of your service and the number of credits and length of the courses in which you are registered. - Women's Center
The mission of the Women’s Center at Bristol Community College is to provide a safe and supportive space of empowerment through advocacy and education. The Women’s center promotes the concept of intersectionality—that gender intersects with all other markers of identity—and thus works to help students understand the complexity of their lives and the lives of others.
