Nontraditional Students

A nontraditional student is any undergraduate student who:

• is a parent of independent children,
• is married,
• is a veteran, or
• is three or more years older than his or her classmates (for example a 21-year-old freshman or a 24-year-old senior)

A highly diverse group of students are identified as nontraditional by ENMU, not as a label, but to provide a way for the University to recognize and offer extra assistance to students who may experience more than the average difficulty in earning a college degree.

Upcoming Changes

ENMU is becoming Yellow Ribbon Program Friendly.

Goals

• Rejuvenate the nontraditional population
• Educate professors about nontraditional student populations on campus
• Provide better education and support services
• Create a better connection with Student Senate so nontraditional has a bigger voice
• Connect with other nontraditional student associations
• Maintain database of community resources for nontraditional students
