Who are Non-Traditional Students?
Seven Characteristics:
Over the past two decades, enrollment of adult learners at Fairmont State has grown in both absolute numbers and in proportion to total enrollment. With this increase, the college recognizes the need for a pro-active approach to meeting the non-traditional student's individualistic and special needs. The unique circumstances of the non-traditional students requires that the college offer special support services in order for those students to achieve academic success and to enhance the student's capacities to become self-directed, lifelong learners.
Students needing assistance should contact the Non-Traditional Student Advisor in the Community & Technical College, Room 207 in the Hardway Building.
