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.

What does ENMU offer nontraditional students?

We provide resources by working with local, state and federal agencies that offer assistance to low-income students. We also recognize your individual needs outside of the University setting and provide referral sources and services in the community.
