Vandal QUEST (Quality University Experiences to Support Transition) is an inclusive postsecondary program designed to provide opportunities for students with intellectual and developmental disabilities at the University of Idaho. Currently, Vandal QUEST students are dual-enrolled with a local school district. The primary goal of Vandal QUEST is to provide access for students who are unable to meet traditional admissions requirements due to disability. Vandal QUEST participants are non-degree seeking students who are interested in engaging in postsecondary education to improve skills to support the achievement of personal goals related employment, community, and independent living.
