About the Initiative

In partnership with the non-profit organization Inclusion Alberta, the University of Alberta Augustana Campus’ Inclusive Post-Secondary Education initiative supports students with intellectual disabilities to be fully included in all aspects of post-secondary life, such as:

  • Attending and preparing for classes, labs, and work-integrated learning opportunities.
  • Finding relevant career opportunities.
  • Building meaningful community connections.
  • Enjoying campus life.
Students supported by this initiative pursue studies through an enhanced audit status for up to 4 years and receive a Certificate of Completion upon finishing their studies.
