Nontraditional Students

Nontraditional Students is a construct in adult learner diversity research that refers to individuals who diverge from the conventional norm of full-time, degree-seeking students entering postsecondary education immediately after high school, typically characterized by attributes such as delayed enrollment, part-time attendance, financial independence, employment, or caregiving responsibilities.
