Chapter 3 – Description of the Intervention
The traditional and non-traditional students go through different obstacles when deciding on what degree courses they feel the is the most suitable for them. The traditional students at Talladega College have the options of taking more courses on campus and to physically interact with their teachers for quick and easy insight and feedback than the non-traditional student.

The non-traditional students at Talladega College can apply for some but not all degrees. All non-traditional students are also required to take all classes

This project is to be utilized in the manner of recruitment for the upcoming years and to help motivate the continuance of the current students who are looking to seek more from the institution of Talladega College. This assignment will also use outside sources to relate to the issues at hand. The sources that are used will help to give an outlook on what the problems consist of and how to resolve them. To get the solutions that are needed for the increase of the non-traditional student satisfaction, the need for a better relationship between the faculty and the student must be addressed as an objective for recruitment and continuance. The need for improvements with communication between faculty and non-traditional students can be a factor to having a decrease of student satisfaction with the Fast Track Department. To get answers and statements from some non-traditional students, a survey “What do you Think?”, administered by Brittney St. Ann, sought to find information about how students felt about their situations and experiences when dealing with the Fast Track

Southern New Hampshire University is a company and its product is producing competent students who will be ready for the working world. Management at Southern New Hampshire University starts with the Administration and their collective guidelines on everything from the teaching curriculum to practices and policies that keep the SNHU company running efficiently.

I believe If accepted into Appalachian State University I would exude in both academically and both socially. Appalachian provides many appealing aspects to me, prominently their historical academic programs. Now as a 1st Generation, child of Mexican immigrants I was expected to attend a college in the city notorious for large classes and a standard picturebook college. When I first heard of appalachian I was in awe because it was everything I was not told about. The teenager in me had to investigate more, and the more I read about the university the more I fell in love. If I were to be accepted I would permanently reside in their campus, which would put me out of my comfort zone being that I’ve been in Cary my whole life and was born in New
In the fall of 1970, three long-haired men sought to register to attend Tyler Junior College in the fall semester. When they arrived to register, they were snubbed by a school official after receiving a copy of the dress code, due to the length of their hair. They were informed that they would be allowed to attend the college upon cutting their hair to the required length. After discussing the injustice of this act, these three men filed a suit against the dress code of Tyler Junior College. The plaintiffs claimed the portion of the dress code regarding hair length was a violation of their constitutional rights, specifically the rights afforded to them under the fourteenth amendment.

A current trend in admission enrollment management with no end in sight is the increasing number of admission applications. The job of most admissions personnel is to recruit students and increase the number of applications because the more applications submitted, the more that will be rejected, thereby increasing an institutions selectivity rating (Toor, 2000). The number of high school graduates will continue a very slow increase over the next decade and these students will apply to more higher education institutions, looking for the best fit, the largest financial aid package, or simply for one college to accept them as a student. Research indicates over seventy percent of institutions report an increase in the number of applications with most traditional applicants submitting more than seven (O 'Shaughnessy, 2011; Jaschik, 2012). The most elite schools will see an even greater increase
With today’s changing world and the economy the way it is, it is not uncommon for people of all ages to enter the college setting. In fact, two-thirds of students entering the college setting are classified non-traditional (Brown, 2007). Bill (2003) found that there was an 11% increase of non-traditional student enrollment from 1991-1998 displaying 35% in 91 and 46% in 1998. These numbers have since increased according to Jacobson & Harris (2008) showing that half to 75% of undergraduates consist of the non-traditional student sitting the reasons for reentering the college setting to be economic. What exactly defines a non-traditional student and what services may they need in comparison to the traditional student.
Non-traditional students of color are often faced with obstacles that make life that much more challenging as compared to traditional students. Rendon (1994) labeled “non traditional students as those that attend affordable community colleges and minority serving institutions, and traditional students are those whose families have a history of college attendance, come from middle and upper class families, and typically feel confident about attending college”
A non-traditional student is defined as a student that has one or more of the following qualities: delayed enrollment after high school, full-time employment, part-time college attendance, financial independence, and/or does not have a high school diploma (Cox 7). The National Center for Educational Statistics (NCES) estimated in a 1999 report that almost 75 percent of all undergraduates possessed one or more nontraditional characteristics. However, according to the 2012 studies of research studies in higher education, just 17 percent of college students are considered traditional (Harpe and Kaniuka 250). With the overwhelming amount of non-traditional undergraduates in America comes three major challenges: institutional, situational, and dispositional.
The questionnaire will be given out to any and every student, first year freshman to a graduate student, who is walking through the CSU at Minnesota State University Mankato. The
In conclusion, as president of an institution with low retention rate among minority students, I believe it is imperative to be proactive in developing strategies that are proven to be effective in retaining those already low performing student populations. He or she must establish and communicate shared vision that we want all students to succeed. In fact, Jackson State University has strengthened the undergraduate experience by providing students with academic advisors and faculty mentors working with students throughout the year to provide them with the guidance and support they need to successfully matriculate. Additionally, students attend freshman orientation and other programs to address student needs and concerns. These programs
