<h1>1: Schedule early morning/evening/weekend classes. And DON’T cancel the evening classes because of poor enrollment, forcing me to drop the course.</h1>
<h1>2: Audit forms and applications to see if an independent adult could fill them out with ease. Make sure all college forms include options for “Self” instead of “Parent/Guardian” only and when applicable, “Spouse.” I had to sign a release form to allow others to access/view my billing and financial aid info, and now my husband is getting bills addressed “To the payer of racheljps’s tution: Mr. racheljps” which he doesn’t think is as funny as I do. Allow blanks in the application or “N/A” options for sections that no longer apply (like sections requiring parental information).</h1>
<h1>3: Have an “office” for non-trad students (perhaps in conjunction with a transfer students office?) Offer support services specialized to their unique needs. One college I attended had a nice, out-of-the-way room with couches (possible for sleeping!) and lockers for commuters and also planned social activities so those students could meet each other.</h1>
