Enrollment and Registration Behaviors as Predictors of Academic Outcomes for Full -Time Students in a Rural Community College

Abstract

Finally, research question five investigated whether, controlling for student characteristics, enrollment and registration behaviors could predict academic outcomes. Results indicated that a combination of course drops, adds, when schedule changes were made, and when students initially enrolled could predict variance in GPA and course completion beyond that explained by a combination of student characteristics. In addition, most of these same behaviors could significantly predict the odds of attrition beyond what student characteristics could predict.
