Abstract
The purpose of this qualitative study was to investigate the resources available at a flagship university to assist non-traditional college students who are not computer literate. This southeastern institution has a traditionally-oriented campus, meaning the majority of the student population (approximately 92%) is between the ages of 18 to 24, according to the university's assessment office. Since we live in the age of technology, traditional students typically enter college prepared to use technology with ease. However, non-traditional college students may not be as technologically knowledgeable. Based on the two major findings, implications point to the need for colleges and universities with traditionally-oriented campuses to provide a range of support to assist returning adults with their academic journey.
