| Abstract | The purpose of this qualitative descriptive study was to explore how non-traditional online undergraduate students describe the influence of support communities on their academic engagement while attending four-year universities in the United States. This study included 46 non-traditional online undergraduate students from a university in the western United States completing a questionnaire, with 15 also participating in an individual semi-structured interview. The three academic engagement components from the Academic Communities of Engagement (ACE) framework guided the research questions of this study. The three research questions were: How do non-traditional online undergraduate students describe the influence of support communities on their (1) cognitive, (2) behavioral, and (3) affective engagement while attending four-year universities? Using thematic analysis, the researcher identified 11 themes from the research data regarding how participants described the influence of support communities on their academic engagement. Cognitive engagement included (1) comprehension and understanding and (2) reasoning and thinking. Behavioral engagement included (3) student action, (4) resources for success, (5) accommodating environment, and (6) load management. Affective engagement included (7) emotional resilience, (8) attitude, (9) self-perception, (10) interpersonal connection, and (11) comfort. The findings of this study indicate that course and personal community support were vital for various components of non-traditional online undergraduate students' academic engagement.
