Non-Traditional Students' Organization (NTSO)

Non-Traditional Students' Organization (NTSO)

All students are welcome, but our goal is to meet the unique needs of students over 24, and those with dependent children.

The Non-Traditional Students Organization is funded through the Student Government Association. NTSO invites non-trads to be members and officers to lead the organization. NTSO sponsors open houses, special events for students and their families, and informational programs on topics of interest.


NTSO Meetings

Don't try to juggle it alone.

Join us in the Non-Traditional Students Lounge in Corey Union, Rooms 201-203.

Next meeting: Check back in the spring semester!

Come for information, support, and fun!

Meetings are held when at times when all of the officers can attend. Every attempt is made to hold meetings at different times of day and different days, if possible.
