More Book Details

Description of the Book:

This report, part of a series of studies on student flow in the seven Hawaii community colleges, contains an analysis of fall 1975 entering students in their fourth semester. Of a total of 8,979 entering students in fall 1975, 3,653 were registered in spring 1977 and 3,302 had been continuously enrolled over the four semesters. The continuation rate from the previous semester (fall 1976) was 80%. Overall, continuation rates were higher for males, for students aged 19 and under at the time of entry, for unmarried students, for graduates of island public high schools, for new students as compared to transfers, and for full-time students. The highest continuation rates were for students seeking the Associate of Science degree. Statistically significant differences in continuation rates were found for the community college total on all of the 10 personal and academic characteristics studied but sex and marital status. However, characteristics found to be statistically significant between continuing and non-continuing students in the fall 1975 entering group for the community college total as well as for each of the seven campuses were, in spring 1976 (second semester)–age, entry status, full- or part-time status, grade point average, and credit-completion ratio; in

fall 1976 (third semester)–grade point average and credit-completion ratio; and in spring 1977 (fourth semester)–grade point average and credit-completion ratio. (JDS
