The Nontraditional Student Center at the University of Wyoming provides a space on campus for nontraditional students to receive support services (e.g., information about scholarships, computer access), complete their coursework, and build community with peers. The center classifies nontraditional students as those over the age of 25, working on a master’s or doctoral degree, married, a parent or otherwise responsible for dependents, a ward or dependent of the court, a U.S. Armed Forces Veteran, and/or a child of deceased parents. By providing a physical space on campus for nontraditional students, the center encourages adult learners are to network and develop a stronger sense of belonging through peer relationships.
