Administrative history
The Non-Traditional Student Program office coordinates the activities and advising needs of non-traditional students, or any students who have had a break in their education or who are slightly older than traditional students. Facilities offered to these students included a lounge, advising assistance, and eligibility to participate in the Non-Traditional Students Club. The program and the club were both formalized in the mid-1970's (Club, April, 1976), with the program being the presiding office for the club.
