These students include students who have taken a less traditional path to college, first-generation students, adult learners, returning and transfer students, rural students, students without a traditional high school diploma, students who support themselves financially, students attending school part-time, part- or full-time employees, career changers, veterans, students with access needs, parents and/or caregivers, among many others.
