BC Initiative for Inclusive Post-Secondary Education |
|
STEPS Forward, the BC Initiative for Inclusive Post-Secondary Education, provides inclusion support for students with intellectual and developmental disabilities to access post-secondary education.
|
|
Students are supported to enroll at the university or college of their choice, pursue studies and engage in student life in the same classes and places as any other student. Over the course of their studies, students identify a program based on their interests and goals and receive a certificate of completion at convocation alongside their peers in their program of study.
|
|
InclusiveThere are no minimum academic or behaviour requirements to be a student . Applicants are interviewed and accepted based on their desire to continue their education and to pursue an inclusive life.
|
IndividualizedStudents choose their program of study, select their courses and take the lead on their extracurricular involvement.
|
Supporting a Full Student ExperienceOur goal is to have students experience the full breadth of university life. We engage campus wide to build the capacity for inclusive campus communities
|
|
These studies are recognized by the college or university with a Certificate of Completion awarded to students at Convocation alongside students earning a credential in the same program of study.
