Be a Pain - In a Good Way

Pursuing postsecondary education for the first time, or returning to school after a prolonged period, is a difficult decision for many adults. Has too much time passed? Can I juggle school and a family? You aren’t the first non-traditional student to ask yourself these questions — most students in your situation have a lot on their minds.

The following often apply to Non-Traditional/Returning Adult Students:

• 24-plus years old
• Have children
• Didn’t attend college right after high school, or are returning to college after an extended break
• Want to make a career change or renew certification/licensure.

Don’t get overwhelmed! You aren’t alone! U. S Department of Education statistics show that this is a growing segment of the population. Help is available!
