TLDR
In this article, the authors describe the rise in nontraditional enrollments and develop a conceptual model of the attrition process for these students, which is similar to the one described in this paper.Abstract:
Older, part-time, and commuter students have composed an increasingly larger portion of college student bodies. The reasons why these students drop out of school are not well understood. The purpose of this paper is to describe the rise in nontraditional enrollments, define the nontraditional undergraduate student, and develop a conceptual model of the attrition process for these students. The chief difference between the attrition process of traditional and nontraditional students is that nontraditional students are more affected by the external environment than by the social integration variables affecting traditional student attrition.read more

Dropout from Higher Education: A Theoretical Synthesis of Recent Research
TL;DR: The failure of past research to delineate more clearly the multiple characteristics of dropout can be traced to two major shortcomings as mentioned in this paper, namely, inadequate attention given to questions of definition and to the development of theoretical models that seek to explain, not simply to describe, the processes that bring individuals to leave institutions of higher education.
