In this 1994 classic work on student retention, Vincent Tinto synthesizes far-ranging research on student attrition and on actions institutions can and should take to reduce it. The key to effective retention, Tinto demonstrates, is in a strong commitment to quality education and the building of a strong sense of inclusive educational and social community on campus. He applies his theory of student departure to the experiences of minority, adult, and graduate students, and to the situation facing commuting institutions and two-year colleges. Especially critical to Tinto’s model is the central importance of the classroom experience and the role of multiple college communities.

Student attrition has serious implications for society as a whole and for students who do not complete postsecondary education (Yorke, 1999). Graduation rate and degrees awarded are the ultimate goals, but there are intermediate achievements as students move toward degree completion that should be tracked and studied. Examples of intermediate measure well-studied are term-to-term retention and year-to-year retention (Moore & Shulock, 2009). Failure to focus on course completion, however, shortchanges possible interventions to increase degree completion (Adelman, 2006). The Texas legislature passed Senate Bill 1231 in 2006 to address student course completion. The bill limits undergraduate students enrolling as first-time freshmen at a public institution of higher education in fall 2007 or later to a total of six dropped courses (Ws) during their entire undergraduate careers. When these six Ws have been used, the student would have to complete all subsequent courses without an option to drop the class. The purpose of this study was to examine whether the goal of reduced withdrawals had actually been realized at Big Town University, a large major research university in Texas post implementation of the new withdrawal policy that limits how many courses undergraduate students could drop controlling for student gender, student ethnicity, student ACT or SAT score, student major, change of student major, and semester GPA. Two cohorts were examined – 2,128 students who enrolled as FTIC pre-implementation the revised withdrawal policy in fall 2005 and a second cohort of 2,067 students who enrolled as FTIC in fall 2007 post-implementation of the revised withdrawal policy. A generalized linear mixed-effects model via use of generalized estimating equations was used to statistically model the variables of the study over time. Results indicated that students did drop fewer classes after the withdrawal policy was implemented. The independent variable of Cohort = 2007 Withdrawal Policy Implementation was statistically significant (p = .042), indicating that students who attended UH after implementation of the withdrawal policy were 23% less likely to withdraw from a class when compared to students who attended school before implementation of the withdrawal policy. Two variables were found to impact the chance of dropping a class - college semester GPA and ethnicity. The variable of GPA was a significant for the dependent variable of Number of Dropped Classes (OR = 0.46, SE OR = 0.03; p

Institutions of higher education have come to view the retention of college students as the only reasonable mechanism of their survival, and a growing number have turned their energies on measures through which they can mitigate the ever- increasing and worrisome student withdrawal rates. Research shows that over half of all college- entering students in the United States of America are likely to leave before they complete their first year. It is estimated that American colleges and universities lose approximately one billion dollars a year from first-year student attrition. Globalization, with its accompanying socioeconomic, demographic, and technological changes, is having a significant impact on countries' workforce and their postsecondary institutions. For a countries to successfully compete in the global economy, they need more highly educated and skilled workforces. Such workforces must be able to adapt to the needs of rapidly changing and more technically demanding global work environments. Today, six out of every ten jobs require some post-high school education and training.

Community college students frequently decide to withdraw from college without achieving their educational goals. In decades of research into student attrition and retention, very few studies have asked the students themselves why they chose to leave. This concurrent triangulation mixed methods study sought to add to the literature by analyzing self-reported statements from students who made the choice to leave college over a five-year period at a rural-serving community college in the mountain west. The statements, collected on an exit survey, were coded and analyzed to identify reasons for complete withdrawal. The coded reasons were Money, Family, Time, College-related, Health, Transfer, Work, Moving, and Other. The codes were further examined by frequency and analyzed with two sample Z tests for proportions to compare student reasons for withdrawal between different demographic groups. BIPOC students were significantly more likely to withdraw for money-related reasons than White students. Women were significantly less likely to withdraw because of work-related concerns than men. Younger students were significantly less likely to withdraw for family-related reasons than older students. Further research using student-generated reasons for withdrawal will help institutions understand how to better help students achieve their educational goals. In this study, implications for practice were also identified for this institution.

Research on college student attrition and retention is reviewed. Overall dropout rates and the reasons students give for dropping out are examined, and an attempt is made to assess the outcomes of going straight through college, as opposed to dropping out, temporarily leaving school, and not going to college at all. The demographic, academic, motivational, and personal characteristics of students who are likely to drop out are examined, along with the effect of the general college environmental factors on persistence. College programs designed to upgrade the level of educational service and encourage students to remain in college are described. The programs concern: pre-enrollment information, admissions, college costs and ways to meet them, orientation, faculty and student interaction, academic programs, counseling and advising, career development, campus activities, housing, the withdrawal procedure, two-year colleges, and administration of the retention program. Students' reasons for dropping out include academic matters, financial difficulties, motivational problems, personal considerations, dissatisfaction with college, military service, and full-time jobs. The evidence indicates that college does make a difference in improvement in self-image, social maturity, interests, competence, and employment. A chart indicates what the last 50 years of retention research have shown about the types of students who are more likely to persist and the types who are less likely to persist. An extensive bibliography is included. (SW)

Belonging—with peers, in the classroom, or on campus—is a critical dimension of success at college. It can affect a student’s degree of academic adjustment, achievement, aspirations, or even whether a student stays in school. This book explores how belonging differs based on students’ social identities, such as race, gender, sexual orientation, or the conditions they encounter on campus. The 2nd Edition of College Students’ Sense of Belonging explores student sub-populations and campus environments, offering readers updated information about sense of belonging, how it develops for students, and a conceptual model for helping students belong and thrive. Underpinned by theory and research and offering practical guidelines for improving educational environments and policies, this book is an important resource for higher education and student affairs professionals, scholars, and graduate students interested in students’ success. New to this second edition: A refined theory of college students’ sense of belonging and review of current literature in light of new and emerging theories; Expanded best practices related to fostering sense of belonging in classrooms, clubs, residence halls, and other contexts; Updated research and insights for new student populations such as youth formerly in foster care, formerly incarcerated adults, and homeless students; Coverage on a broad range of topics since the first edition of this book, including cultural navigation, academic spotting, and the "shared faith" element of belonging.
