What is a
Non-Traditional Student? An adult or non-traditional student is
not defined only by age (usually over 24), they are also
students with life circumstances different from the typical
traditional student. These circumstances include, but are not
limited to students who are:
parents
married, divorced, or single
caring for elderly parents
veterans
returning to college after a period of time in the work force
or working in their home
entering college for the first time, not right after high
school graduation
full-time, part-time or seasonal employees
distance learners
What makes adult and graduate students unique from other
students and similar to each other is the multiple roles they
assume in order to attend college.
