Author
- Carmen G. Neri (Iowa State University)
Abstract
Using data from Iowa State University's Office of Admissions and the registrar's office, an overview of non-traditional students will be presented that tries to define who we are and how we differ from traditional students. Some worthwhile statistics will be presented, as well as an overview about this little-understood and invisible population. In addition to the presenter, two guests will be asked to describe their experiences as non-traditional students.
We will examine how other institutions record, report, and view their nontraditional students, including descriptions of the unique or special services, if any, which are provided to these students.
