Over the past two decades, enrollment of adult learners at Pierpont Community & Technical College has grown in both absolute numbers and in proportion to total enrollment. With this increase, the college recognizes the need for a pro-active approach to meeting the non-traditional student's individualistic and special needs. The unique circumstances of the non-traditional students requires that the college offer special support services in order for those students to achieve academic success and to enhance the student's capacities to become self-directed, lifelong learners.

Students needing assistance should contact Miwa Edwards, the Non-Traditional Student Advisor, Room 207 in Hardway Hall.
