C. Mission Statement
“Non-Traditional & Veteran Student Services provides assistance and advocacy for students
before, during, and after their admission to K-State. We assist students in obtaining information
and/or providing referrals in many areas, including: admission, scholarships, childcare,
housing, tutoring, refresher and study skills courses, financial assistance, health insurance,
campus activities, community programs, non-traditional student networking, and many other
questions/concerns. Our goal is to facilitate the non-traditional learner's transition to K-State,
by providing the necessary resources to confront student challenges and concerns that are
specific to this population.”
D. Assessment of Student Learning Three-Year Plan
1. Student Learning Outcome(s)
a. List (or attach a list) all of the student learning outcomes for the program.

1. Upon receiving services from the Non-Traditional & Veteran Student Services staff,
students will be able to identify and utilize campus and community resources specific to
their needs.
2. As a result of attending events sponsored by NTVSS, students will feel more connected
on campus to their fellow non-traditional students, as well as faculty, staff, and their
traditional counterparts.
3. After taking the EDCEP 111 class, students will be able to effectively apply study
skills and habits to aid in their academic success. In addition, students will be able to
identify campus resources to meet their personal, academic, and professional needs.
