A brief description of notable policies or programs to support non-traditional students:
As one of the few non-impacted campuses in the CSU, CSUDH is extremely accessible to anyone seeking a higher education degree. (https://www.csudh.edu/future-students/apply/freshmen/admissions-requirements/)
As a result, the average age of students at CSUDH is 24, with only 29.5% of its students in the age 18 to 21 bracket, compared to the national average of 60%.
It also has support for non-traditional students coming from several sources including a dedicated transfer center program that conducts outreach to local community colleges, a Veteran's Resource Center that provides dedicated, individualized assistance to veterans, active duty personnel, and dependents, a College of Extended Education which extends academic and professional development resources to distance learners, working adults, and nontraditional students, and an on-site Children's Center supported by Associated Students which provides early childhood education services for children of student parents.
