<p>Is there a certain term (i am hesitant to say "label") that we can associate with returning, non-traditional students? The reason I ask is because when I am searching a school's web site, I have trouble finding where (or if) a special program or application exists for these students. I am not implying that they need special consideration, but if it makes things easier, then I am all for it!</p>
<p>For example, Columbia University has an entire department and application for non-traditional, returning students: <a href="http://www.gs.columbia.edu/%5B/url%5D">http://www.gs.columbia.edu/</a></p>
<p>I've tried to search "non-traditional" on a few other sites, and the results are mixed. It may just be a trial/error searching attempt... but at least there is prospect for all "non-traditional" students... even at Columbia.</p>
