The purpose of the Student Resource Center is to enhance student access, engagement, achievement, retention, and completion by supporting our students comprehensively from the initial day of enrollment through degree completion and beyond.

Many Delaware County Community College students have demonstrated academic, food, financial, transportation, mental health, family, legal and other personal insecurities. According to a 2018 survey of over 1,000 students at the College, nearly a third of students indicated that they had experienced food insecurities and almost half indicated that they would utilize a food pantry if it was offered.

In response to survey data and other support initiatives, and with input from senior administrators, faculty, staff and students, the College established the Student Resource Center during the Spring 2020 semester.
