Non-Traditional Student 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 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.
