If you can answer yes to any of these questions, you might be a non-traditional student!

· You drink coffee in the afternoon.
· You're the only person sitting in the front row in class.
· You can remember when there was no such thing as panty hose.
· You have been mistaken for a professor.
· Your favorite shoes are older than most of your classmates.
· You paid a penny for bubble gum.
· You arrange your class schedule around your kids naptime.

Non-traditional students are typically students who are married, have children, are 25 years of age or older, or are resuming their studies after a break from college. Non-traditional students face a unique set of challenges. Sometimes it's hard to fit in when being a student is not your full-time job. We understand this and we're here to help!

If you have a problem, need a question answered, or just want to stop by and talk, please call (270-745-5065), e-mail, or stop by our office in Potter Hall Room 308.

FACT: One of every five WKU undergraduate students is non-traditional. (WKU Fact Book, 2002).
