Adult Student Advocacy

Who is a Non-Traditional Student?

Who, exactly, is a non-traditional student? If only ONE of these characteristics apply to you, then you are considered a non-traditional student:

  • You delayed enrollment after graduating from high school
  • You attend school part time
  • You work full time (25+ hours)
  • You are financially independent for purposes of determining eligibility for financial aid
  • You have dependents other than a spouse
  • You are a single parent
  • You have or still are serving in the military
  • You are a first generation student

Entering or returning to college can be as easy as reaching for the telephone or sending an email to Cynda Alexander, Non-Traditional Student Programs Coordinator at 501.569.3308 or ntsp@ualr.edu.
