Reentry students are typically older than 25 and returning to college after a long absence. They have various characteristics and reasons for returning to school, such as being retirees, veterans, or seeking career changes or self-actualization. The number of reentry students is growing significantly as baby boomers retire. Reentry students seek out new training programs and lifelong learning opportunities. Colleges offer various resources to support reentry students, such as reentry centers, scholarships, orientation sessions, and peer mentoring. There are also many non-traditional educational programs and institutions available for reentry students, including online degrees, tele-courses, and universities specializing in non-traditional students.
