Nontraditional Student Persistence

Nontraditional Student Persistence is a construct in higher education research that refers to the continuation and successful degree progression of students who enroll in postsecondary education without typical characteristics—such as delayed enrollment, part-time attendance, financial independence, full-time employment, or caregiving responsibilities—thereby distinguishing it from conventional models of student retention based on traditional-age, full-time, residential undergraduates.
