Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Nontraditional students often have work and family obligations outside of school, making it difficult to access student services during traditional hours. Extended student service hours would provide nontraditional students with more flexibility in their access to resources and support. A high faculty to student ratio (A) may indicate smaller class sizes, but may not be the most important factor for nontraditional students. Set course schedules (B) may actually be less appealing to nontraditional students who need flexibility in their course schedules. Extraneous courses needed for a degree (D) are generally not appealing to any type of student.
