dresses 'risk factors' for students, including part-time attendance at college, delayed enrollment, having dependents, and working while enrolled. (NCES) Students aged 24 and older are more likely to have dependants while attempting to further their education. Older students are also more likely to be working full time or part time while taking classes. Overall, I believe it's safe to form the opinion that the older the non-traditional student, the higher the risk factor. Another perspective of NCES data addresses employment for adults, those 24 and older, who consider work to be their first priority and college their second. This group is compared to those who are primarily students but also work as a secondary role. While all of these individuals are considered to be adults by age, their lives are likely to be quite different.

Other terms such as 'nontraditional undergraduates' capture a porton of this 21st century student population, but do not describe it entirely. For example, Choy defines and characterizes 'nontraditional undergraduates' as those at any level of postsecondary education: students who delay their entry to college, who carry a part time academic load, who work while enrolled in college, who are financially independent and may have children or other dependants, who may be single parents, and who do not have high school diplomas. Portions of these students have only one or two of these nontraditional characteristics, while others fit in to multiple categories. (Susan Choy) Choy's data is not disaggregated by age, and thus adult students cannot be separated from the total population. Although there is a lot of literature as well as data sets on the academic progress, enrollment patterns, persistence, and degree attainment of nontraditional students, the connections of this scholarship and the data sets to adults students cannot be verified.
