What is a Non-Traditional Student? The answer may surprise you.
According to the National Center for Education Statistics, despite age being a commonly thought characteristic, there are actually multiple other categories which classifies someone as a Non-Traditional Student: Race, Gender, Off-campus, transfer student, and type of enrollment. (https://nces.ed.gov/pubs/web/97578e.asp)
While any one of these categories can put an undue amount of pressure on a student to quit, the average Non-Traditional Student usually falls into several of these categories.
We seek to provide Non-Traditional Students support, socialization, and resource information that traditional students receive.
The Organization for Non-Traditional Students isn’t just a thing to do, it’s a place to belong.
