Abstract
The Non-Traditional Student Program office coordinates the activities and advising needs of non-traditional students. The collection is composed of files dealing with administrative issues related to the running of and starting the program. Included are files dealing with day care at South Dakota State University, a recurring problem for the non-traditional student.
Historical Note
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.
