What is Campus for All?

Campus For All (CFA) is not a day program. In fact, it is not a program at all as there are no separate courses or curricula.

Each Campus for All student takes one class offered by the University per semester. Students conduct participatory auditing which means that they complete modified assignments and exams, participate in presentations and class discussions, group work, and related experiences.

Students are encouraged to make university a priority and to participate in all aspects of campus life. This means attending classes, completing modified assignments and exams, as well as participating in campus activities and clubs.

This is a unique opportunity and students are encouraged to make the most of it.

Campus for All is currently full. We will start taking new applications starting again in the Winter 2025 term.

The application deadline is April 30, 2025.

The University of Regina provides an inclusive post-secondary education (IPSE) initiative for adults experiencing intellectual disability.

This four-year program is meant to support an authentic student experience.

Students supported by Campus For All:

  • Are fully engaged in class learning experiences
  • Belong to their classes
  • Pursue a coherent course of study (in progress)
  • Benefit from and contribute to campus life

What is Inclusive Post-Secondary Education?

Inclusive Education provides an opportunity for individuals to take on the valued role of student in a valued context, the University.

There are generally three pillars of inclusive post-secondary education:

Academics

  • Auditing one class per semester
  • Completing assignments: Take part in group work, presentations, performances, writing papers, etc.
  • Working side-by-side with supportive peers
  • Using assistive technology to do readings

Social Connections

  • Developing a social network of peers, acquaintances and friends
  • Expanding leisure and recreation activities (on and off campus)
  • Meeting for coffee and lunch breaks
  • Inviting others to share time with family and friends
  • Getting to know people who may be future employers or co-workers

Employment

  • Participating in career guidance
  • Completing a professional portfolio
  • Work-based learning opportunities
  • Finding and maintaining employment

The goal is for students to have an authentic experience from the time they register and choose their courses through to convocation.

Beyond this, the long-term goal is for students to experience inclusion and to have a meaningful experiences in the community after graduation.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How do I know if University is a good fit for me?
Campus For All is not a day program. It is an educational opportunity in which emphasises that motivation to learn is the principal criterion for admission. CFA is a good fit for you if you like to be included, like to learn, and want to study an educational course offered at the University. It also helps if you are open to meeting new people, having new experiences and can become comfortable outside your comfort zone.
2. What classes can I take?
Almost any class. Course selection is directed by each student and is based on personal goals and interests with input from family and friends, instructors, and staff. Students have taken classes from many different faculties. The list is constantly expanding as CFA students discover new areas of interest.
3. Do I apply to a particular faculty?
Currently, students do not apply for admission to a particular faculty but can indicate a preference for area of study. Applications come directly to Campus For All. Staff assist with course selection and approach instructors to accommodate students in the course. However, it is very beneficial for students to select a coherent course of study.
4. How many classes can I take?
Students take one class per semester. Classes are not held every day, usually 2 or 3 days per week.
5. What is auditing?

Campus For All students audit classes. Auditing requires the approval of the course instructor. Students who are taking the class as part of a degree have priority. 

Grades or degrees are not given for auditing courses. 

6. What is participatory auditing?

Participatory auditing is a term taken from STEPS Forward, an inclusive post-secondary education program at the University of British Columbia. This term more accurately describes the auditing experience of students supported by Campus For All. Students follow the same curriculum as their classmates, but unlike regular auditing students, they complete modified readings, coursework and assignments.

Even though students do assignments, they do not receive credit or marks. Instructors will generally provide some feedback and comments to the students on their work.

7. How are the course work and assignments modified?

Assignments are modified by Campus For All staff in consultation with the instructor or professor. Based on the content of the course, instructors will identify what they would like to see from the students. 

Generally, professors are looking for students to show how they understand material from the course and  to reflect on their experience, and what they are reading and to form their own insights and opinions. 

8. What will my schedule look like?
Students have flexible schedules. Taking one class does not mean that you will have lots of free time. It is estimated that for every hour spent in class students can expect to spend at least two hours doing course work, completing assignments, reading, and studying for exams. You also need to schedule time to meet regularly with tutors and Campus For All staff. In addition, you can get involved with extracurricular activities, such as intramurals, campus clubs, volunteering, etc. You’ll want to schedule time for going for coffee, hanging out with friends and working out at the gym.
9. If I am working, can I apply to be in Campus For All?
Many students have to work and study at the same time. This is no different for students supported by Campus For All. However, as with other students, university needs to be a priority.  To get the most out of the experience, you need to be on campus as much as possible and do more than attend class.
10. How much does CFA cost?

The regular cost of auditing a course is 50 per cent of normal tuition. At this time, the University of Regina covers the cost by providing bursaries for students. The bursaries also cover costs for recreational fees, etc.

Students are expected to cover the costs of textbooks, backpacks, school supplies, lockers, transportation and any other miscellaneous expenses.

11. How many students are in the Campus For All program?
Campus For All, when operating at maximum capacity, supports twelve students. Low student numbers help to ensure the quality of inclusion, and maintain the individualized nature of the program.
12. How long is the program?
Students are eligible to graduate after having participated in at least six full semesters, and students will be expected to graduate after participating in eight semesters. Some students continue to take classes after graduation, but they are not supported by Campus For All.
13. Can I attend convocation?
Campus For All students earn a Certificate of Inclusive Post-Secondary Education. Along with their peers, they participate in convocation and receive acknowledgement from the UofR Chancellor, President and Deans, as well as family and friends. Upon convocation, students receive alumni status within the University of Regina Alumni Association, allowing for a lifelong connection to the University and their fellow graduates.
