The HALO certificate is designed to build personal and social skills through a balanced learning experience.

The HALO Certificate is a two year program which offers:

• A connection of academics, social/recreational skills and soft skills necessary for a successful transition into adulthood
• An academic experience that reflects the students individual needs, goals and strengths
• Increased confidence to function independently on campus and in the community through opportunity, support and access

Depending on a student's level of functioning, there may be opportunities available to take credit or inclusive audited coursework based on career or personal interests.
