Nontraditional Students

Nontraditional students at BGSU are very important to our institution. We define nontraditional students as undergraduate students who are 23 or older, students who are parents, or students who may identify as a nontraditional undergraduate student based on other circumstances. Our office is here to support and advocate for you. Please reach out if you have any questions!
