Postsecondary education (PSE) programs for students with intellectual disability should be built around a course of study leading to a meaningful credential. Typically, programs award a non-degree credential available only to students who are attending the program. In addition to or instead of these program-specific credentials, students in these programs may be supported to earn credentials available to all students at their college or university (with and without disability). In this guide, the authors focus on the credential that is specifically for students with intellectual disability enrolled in the program. The report outlines how to develop a robust and comprehensive course of study that culminates in a meaningful credential approved and awarded by the accredited college or university where the program is located.
