SEU Link is a Florida Postsecondary Comprehensive Transition Program (FPCTP) linking students to independent living, self-advocacy, and employment. Person-centered planning (PCP) is used for students to map out their goals for the future and their individualized sequence of electives, internships, and industry credentials. Link students are a part of the SEU (Southeastern University) community in terms of residing in dorms, inclusive elective classes, on-campus internships, and participation in campus organizations and intramural activities. Support is provided primarily through trained peer mentors during the two-year program. Link students who complete all elements of the program will earn a Link Certificate of Professional Readiness and participate in the SEU undergraduate graduation ceremony. There are also several options for a third year.
