What does "non-traditional background" mean in English for undergraduate students?

non-traditional background student Translated as nontraditional student, nontraditional student is an American term for a category of students at institutions of higher education. The National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) recognizes that there is no precise definition of a non-traditional student, but part-time status and age are common factors. In a 1996 study, NCES included nontraditional students who met at least one of the following:

Delayed enrollment (not able to enroll in higher education in the same year as high school graduation)

Part-time for at least part of the academic year

Working full-time (35 or more hours per week)

When determining eligibility for Considered financially independent at the time of financial aid

Have dependents other than a spouse (usually children, but may be caregivers for sick or elderly family members)

Are a single parent (unmarried or married but separated with a family member)

Don't have a high school diploma (graduated from high school with a GED certificate or other high school graduation diploma, or did not graduate from high school)

In short it is not the same as our normal graduated college students, some of them stop studying halfway through, probably because they don't have any money, some of them go and get married and come back to study after that, in foreign universities, you will meet the ones who are more than ten years younger than you, and also the ones who are more than ten years older than you, and even college students who are in their 60's are there, and they are usually working and then they need to continue to study and improve themselves because of some reasons. The first thing you need to do is to get your hands on a new computer and get it to work.
