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.
