Abstract	This document describes a study designed to identify: (1) typologies of nonparticipants in adult educational activities; (2) the attitudes, perceptions, and learning requirements of such groups and the factors that inhibit their participation; (3) effective methods of recruiting nonparticipants; (4) appropriate initial learning opportunities and support mechanisms for nonparticipants; (5) progression routes from introductory to other forms of learning; and (6) the processes of institutional change arising from work with nontraditional student groups. Section 1 contains a literature review. Section 2 discusses access to education for nonparticipant groups, reasons for increasing participation, potential participants, stages of access, and examples of first-stage learning opportunities. Section 3 describes nonparticipant groups, including unskilled and semiskilled manual workers, unemployed adults, women with dependent children, older adults, and ethnic minority groups. Section 4 addresses educational policy and institutional innovation, including those at universities and residential colleges, initiatives to widen access, institutional support for nontraditional students, and factors that have impeded and favored access for nontraditional students. Section 5 offers concluding observations. The document contains a 14-page bibliography and lists of respondents and survey questions. (CML)
