CMSV-VIP Curriculum Classes and Workshops

The CMSV Vocational Independence Program (CMSV-VIP) was launched in September 2020. The program, based at the College of Mount Saint Vincent, serves college-aged students with various learning styles and abilities. Full-time students in the program live on campus, take selected CMSV-VIP non-credit community classes, and have community-based work internships. Any Mount Saint Vincent undergraduate student may enroll in VIP community classes and workshops.

All VIP courses are non-credit.

Please note: The cost per-course is based on a fifteen-week academic semester, at the rate of $2,194 per class. CMSV-VIP community courses do not count towards the 12 to 18 credits to be considered a full-time undergraduate student, and are thus charged in addition to any full-time charges.

Room and Board Fees for Spring 2021

  • Room: $5,290
  • Board: $1,900

College of Mount Saint Vincent community classes and workshops will increase independence, promoting opportunities for community living and inclusion. They accommodated without compromising the participants’ health and safety and are provided to benefit the program participants, as well as the larger community.

  • CMSV-VIP community classes are open to the larger community and not specific for students with disabilities
  • All CMSV-VIP participants are encouraged to participate in college-level courses
  • CMSV-VIP community classes are not credit bearing
