Nontraditional description |

A nontraditional student refers to a category of students at colleges and universities. * The National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) notes that there are varying definitions of nontraditional student. The term is defined in a general way to refer to postsecondary students who are 25 years old and older. Nontraditional students are contrasted with traditional students, who enroll immediately after high school, are typically aged 18–22, attend full-time, live on campus, and do not have major work or family responsibilities. The NCES categorized anyone who satisfies at least one of the following as a nontraditional student: * Delays enrollment (does not enter postsecondary education in the same calendar year that he or she finished high school) * Attends part-time for at least part of the academic year * Works full-time (35 hours or more per week) while enrolled * Is considered financially independent for purposes of determining eligibility for financial aid * Has dependents other than a spouse (usually children, but may also be caregivers of sick or elderly family members) * Is a single parent (either not married or married but separated and has dependents) * Does not have a high school diploma (completed high school with a GED or other high school completion certificate or did not finish high school)By this definition, the NCES determined that 73% of all undergraduates in 1999–2000 could be considered nontraditional, representing the newly "typical" undergraduate. This remained consistent the following years: 72% in 2003–2004, 72% for 2007–2008, and 74% for 2011–2012.The nontraditional student designation is also used in a specialized way to refer to socially or educationally disadvantaged students. |
