Differences in Traditional and Nontraditional Students' Preferences for Advising Services and Perceptions of Services Received

Abstract

When traditional students' perceptions of advising were compared to those of nontraditional students, the traditional students placed more value on developmental advising. Overall, traditional students were less satisfied with both the developmental and the prescriptive advising that they had received. However, both groups reported discrepancies between the developmental advising they wanted and what they were receiving.
