The On Campus program is established at the University of Alberta. The program was designed to give individuals with disabilities the opportunity to get university experience, and “was the first inclusive education program of its kind”.1 Individuals in the program receive individual supports, and attend courses according their interests. Graduates of the program generally do not receive a degree, however, they do attend a ceremony with their peers and are encouraged to join the University’s successor program, Alumni Employment Supports, to help them find and maintain successful employment.2
