4 TIPS FOR WORKING ADULTS GOING BACK TO SCHOOL
(BPT) - Do the back-to- school signs in the store have you itching to get back in a classroom? Back-to-school season traditionally
falls
around August or September for students in kindergarten through 12th grade, but a working adult can enroll in a new or advanced degree pro- gram at any time of the year, including the fall months. If you're considering enroll-
ing in a new or advanced degree program as a working adult, here are some factors to consider as you make this big decision: 1. Schedules Balancing school, work and
families might take a bit of planning and organizational skills. "According
to the
National Center for Educa- tion Statistics, nearly 39 per- cent of the estimated 21 mil-
lion students heading back to school this fall will be over the age of 25," says Tracy Lorenz, president of Western International University (West). "These are individu- als with families, jobs, house- hold duties and community obligations, which can often mean that making time to return to school is a chal- lenge." Thanks to online delivery and flexibility in scheduling, students can start a class at West at the beginning of any month. So once the back-to- school chaos has settled at home and the fall workload has smoothed out, students are able to sign up for that class they've been thinking of taking. Students should keep in mind the time they need for each class, not just for catching up on course mate- rials and projects, but also for homework and online discus- sions with classmates. 2. Affordability
Financial planning is just as important when starting out on a new degree program as it is when managing one's
household budget. Before starting a program, students should create a list of the expenses they'll face for tuition and supplies, as well as financial aid opportunities and the potential for reim- bursement from an employ- er. Doing so will help stu- dents understand their net investment and how it can be aligned with their other financial responsibilities. Ultimately this exercise allows students to select both the right degree pro- gram as well as the one that best fit their budget. 3. Support Working adults need sup- port in their college endeav- ors as much as students con- tinuing directly from high school. Students should let their employer know about their schooling plans, as well as friends and family who can help encourage them through each step of the pro- cess. Many colleges also offer support for adult students. For example, West provides complimentary services that range from career coaching
and financial resources to tutoring services and assis- tance in creating a balance between work, life and school. 4. Emergency planning A kid catches the flu or the
office schedules a business trip that conflicts with the course schedule. Having a backup plan can help stu- dents stick with their educa- tion plans and graduate on time. Taking classes online is a big help as it makes educa- tion fully accessible at home or even while traveling by finding a Wi-Fi hotspot to catch up on classwork over breakfast at a coffee shop or hotel. Students that make sure
they have the time to com- plete course work, select a degree program they can afford, develop a support sys- tem of family and friends, and make sure they can con- tinue their studies when life's other challenges arise can help make their back-to- school experience a success- ful one, any time of the year.
