A brief description of notable policies or programs to support non-traditional students:
The Return to College (RTC) program is open to adult learners, 25 years or older, whose undergraduate education was interrupted and who now propose to finish a bachelor of arts degree by enrolling in 12 or fewer credits per semester, instead of the traditional 16. All applicants must have successfully completed at least one year of college level work or the equivalent. All the activities available to students of traditional-age are available to RTC students. https://www.conncoll.edu/academics/graduate-study-non-traditional-programs/return-to-college-rtc/
