Here are some older links and information about Nontraditional Student support in this state. There may still be some clues here to help you find help and support at your school. Please pardon any links that no longer work. They will soon be deleted or fixed this year (2015).
Brigham Young University in Rexburg, Idaho, has a Nontraditional Student group called the Non-traditional Student Association.
This is part of their Mission Statement for nontraditional student members: (from the website) "Our Mission: To meet together for fun, friendship, and to discuss our common uniqueness as we strive to accomplish our educational goals here at BYU Idaho. As this association's purpose is support for the non-traditional student, meetings will consist of focus and exchange of ideas, resources, and issues that can provide inspiration and encouragement to each member."
