Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to investigate the student services offered to adult students at the four-year undergraduate colleges and universities in Virginia. Three particular aspects of the services were investigated: 1) discover the student services currently available to adult undergraduate students at the four-year institutions, 2) determine which of these services were successful or unsuccessful in attracting adult students, and 3) ascertain if there were additional student services needed to accommodate their students. The adult students were defined as being at least 25 years old and enrolled in full- or part-time undergraduate course work in any program at Virginia's 15 public and 27 private four-year undergraduate colleges. A survey instrument was developed and administered to the chief student affairs officers at the institutions studied. The survey provided a list of student services that were culled from the literature and modified according to the results of a pre-test. The 65 services were grouped into thirteen categories. Respondents indicated if the services were available at the institutions, and if so, indicated on a Likert scale the degree of success in attracting adult students to the service. In addition, an open-ended question enabled the respondents to expand upon additional services that were necessary to accommodate adult students. Surveys were distributed to all 42 targeted institutions. Eight of the 15 (52%) public colleges returned surveys, and 18 of the 27 (67%) private colleges reported. Respondents indicated that 50 of the 65 student services listed in the survey were available at the majority of the public institutions, and 40 of the 65 student services were available at the majority of the private institutions. Three services were considered "very successful," 61 were considered "successful" and one service was considered "not successful." Although there were individual services that adequately met the needs of the adult students, it was determined that modifications are needed for all services listed in the survey. This study also suggested that the four-year undergraduate institutions in Virginia should continually evaluate their student services in order to attract and serve the adult student population.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this volume, we examine the ways student services professionals in institutions of higher education can best meet the needs of adult learners. Most of the discussion here is situated in four-year colleges and universities, although we recognize that community colleges play a large role in the higher education of adults. However, we made the decision to focus on four-year and post-graduate institutions because we believe that these institutions often are focused on traditional-aged students despite growing adult enrollments, and are most in need of guidance about how to serve this ever-growing population. Students in higher education often are defined as "adult learners" or "non-traditional students" if they are 25 twenty-five years of age or older, and, more significantly, if they have taken on what we consider adult roles and responsibilities, such as caring for children and other family members, working full-time, or participating heavily in community activities. Adult students typically are not focused on campus life in the same way that younger, "traditional-aged" students are. Therefore, our theories of the importance of the campus experience outside the classroom to student development usually do not hold for adults. Yet, adults can and do learn and develop through their engagement in formal higher education. Adults bring experiences and wisdom into the classroom, and receive a learning experience that informs their own professional and personal practices. This is the 102nd issue of the quarterly journal New Directions for Student Services.
