Success Factors for Students Who Delay College

What can we do to help our adult learners to success in higher education? Those who do not immediately attend college after high school are distinct from mainstream students in that they have more life-balance issues. This research demonstrates that adult college students are more likely to be successful if they participate in small learning communities of students in similar circumstances. Advisors, counselors and professors can help these students be more successful by supporting opportunities for these students to work together.
