The program, which began in 1974, was started because the community requested that the university offer special courses for mature in i A< i -i aiviciuais zd anu uiuci, nuici ?<nu. "Wc provide a transition semester. We give them reserved classes and extra academic advisement. It eases the way for the first semester. Usually the first semester s is the most difficult for any student," said Fidler. "Mature students juggle job, child care and family. They need some extra help with time management," Fidler said THE MATURE Students Program, which provides assistance with admission, advisement and registration, offers courses in humanities, science, education, social sciences, history and government and international studies.
