WELCOME TO MTSU ADULT STUDENT SERVICES
If
you are a student who has adult responsibilities beyond your
college courses, we consider you to be an adult learner, regardless
of your age.
We
encourage you to use this web site and come by KUC 320 for information
and services we can provide to you
to make your academic experience at MTSU as painless and positive
as possible. We are here to support your education and help
you succeed as a student.
The
Off-Campus Student Services office fosters a relaxed
atmosphere where students can gather over lunch or a snack,
enjoy a cup of coffee, converse with other students who are
juggling college along with their work and families, study in
between classes, check their e-mail messages, and just take
a break. We have provided an online version of our Older
Wiser Learner's Handbook with detailed information about
many topics for you to consult.
Each
February the Adult Student Services office sponsors an Adult
Learning Conference at MTSU. We invite adult learners from
the mid-south and the higher education professionals who work
with them. Past conferences have included Increase
Resilience to Increase Retention; Teaching
Adults to Juggle Their Lives and Their Learning and Mentoring
Adult Learners: Relationships for Retention; Shining
a Light on Adult Learners; From Student Poverty
to Financial Security: Planning to Get Here to There, and Choosing to Thrive: No Matter What!
The Adult Learning Conference 2009 will be held February
19-20, 2009. Click here for
more information.
Whether
you come by for social reasons, or to pick up a form you need,
or to request information, you will find a place where you will
truly feel that you belong at MTSU.
