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 Student Organization (NTSO) 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.
Would you like to volunteer to be an officer for the Fall 2024 semester? A small amount of your time will make a big impact. Events cannot happen without our students volunteering for these officer position.
