ABSTRACT

THIS STUDY FOLLOWED, IN A LONGITUDINAL MANNER, ALL THE STUDENTS WHO EN-

ROLLED DURING SUCCESCIVE CLASSES 1982-1992. THE PURPOSE OF THE STUDY WAS TO

PROVIDE SOME BASIC INSTITUTIONAL DATA ABOUT STUDENT PERFORMANCE OVER A PERIOD OF

TIME. DATA WAS OBTAINED ON THEIR PERFORMANCE AND ACHIEVEMENT AT HARPER THROUGH

ANALYSIS OF THE ACADEMIC RECORDS OF EACH OF THE STUDENTS.

EIGHT OUT OF TEN FULL -TIME STUDENTS RETURN TO SCHOOL AT A LATER DATE FOR ONE

YEAR OR MORE. THIS IS TRUE FOR ALL RACES, GENDERS, AND PROGRAM CATEGORIES OTHER

THAN BLACK /HISPANICS AND OLDER STUDENTS. THE PART-TIME PERSISTENCE RATE FOR THIS

SAME PERIOD IS 60 PERCENT. THE FULL-TIME STUDENTS WILL COMPLETE, ON THE AVERAGE, 37

CREDIT HOURS AND THE PART-TIME STUDENTS WILL COMPLETE APPROXIMATELY 11 CREDIT

HOURS. ONE-FOURTH OF THE FULL-TIME STUDENTS WILL GRADUATE, AND MOST OF THE PART

-TIME STUDENTS DO NOT INTEND TO GRADUATE.

THERE IS A TREND TOWARD MORE STUDENTS ENROLLING AT HARPER TO TRANSFER. IN

ADDITION, THE NUMBER AND PERCEN,AGE OF STUDENTS ENROLLING IN TRANSFER MAJORS

ARE INCREASING. AT THE SAME TIME THERE IS AN INCREASE OF REVERSE TRANSFERS,

PARTICULARLY WITH THOSE ENROLLING PART TIME AT HARPER.

THE GPAs OF PART-TIME STUDENTS ARE HIGHER THAN FULL-TIME STUDENTS - 2.34

COMPARED TO 2.17. MALE STUDENTS HAVE LOWER GPAs THAN FEMALE STUDENTS. OLDER

STUDENTS GENERALLY HAVE HIGHER GPAs THAN YOUNGER STUDENTS. PART-TIME FEMALE

. STUDENTS OUTNUMBER PART-TIME MALE STUDENTS.

THERE HAS BEEN A SLIGHT INCREASE IN BOTH FULL -TIME AND PART-TIME ENROLLMENT

OF MINORITIES AT HARPER COLLEGE. MOST OF THESE STUDENTS ARE EITHER ASIAN, BLACK,

OR HISPANIC.

PURPOSE

The purpose of this study is to follow beginning full-time and part-time traditional credit studentsover a long period of time observing their performance and achievements at Harper College. Thistype of longitudinal study answers such questions as: What percentage of all full-time studentsstarting at Harper will graduate or accumulate 36 hours of credit? How long will these studentsattend? The same questions can also be answered about beginning part-time students. Otherquestions can also be addressed including their GPA; whether they have transferred into Harper; theirage, race, intent and career program; and the standing in their high school class. This sameinformation is used for the Harper program review process.

POPULATION SURVEYED

Data were Tethered from all traditional credit students, both full time and part time, who enrolledeach fall from 1982 to 1992.

METHODOLOGY

In September 1993, using Focus software, data was downloaded from Harper's mainframecomputer directly to a PC hard drive. The data were uploaded into d-BASE. Tabulations on m any

different fields were done and cross tabulations by age, sex, race and major programs wereperformed.

DISCUSSION OF RESULTS

Grade point average is influenced by the age of the students when they enter Harper Co lege.For example, full-time students entering before they are 21 average 2.15 while students entering afterthey are 21 or older average 2.45. Part-time students who enter while they are under 21 average 1.82.Those between 21 and 34 average 2.44 and those 35 or older average 2.83. Asian full-time studentshave an average GPA of 2.34, compared to 2.19 for whites and 1.81 for blacks/hispanics. In addition,the GPAs of those who have a career program major compare with those with transfer majors at 2.18.The part-time students have higher GPAs than the full-time students. Regardless of full-time or part-time status, the female students have higher GPAs than the male students. See Charts A, B, and Cfor above information.

Full-time male students outnumber female students. The largest difference betweenmale/female full-time ratio is with black/hispanics. However, there are more female full-time studentsin career programs than male students. Also, female part-time students greatly outnumber. male part-time students - a percentage of 60 percent to 40 percent. (See Chart D). The percentage of femalepart-time students increases with age. There are twice as many part-time female students age .35 ormore than male students.

Persistence rates for full-time students show that 80 percent of the students who start full time inthe fall will return to school for one year or more at a later date. These rates are reflective for eachage, race, gender, and program category with the exception of those older than 21 (66%) and theblack/hispanics (70%). The part-time persistence rate is less, around 60 percent. Again, these ratesreflect each age, race, gender and program category.

DISCUSSION OF RESULTS (continued)

Students starting full time will eventually complete about 37 credit hours, while the averagestudent starting part time will complete about 11 credit hours. (See Chart E for comparison of full-timestudent hours attempted and earned.) About 70 percent of the full-time students intend to obtain adegree or a certificate. One-fourth actually achieve a degree or certificate. Females are more likely toachieve degrees than males. Females and students in career major programs are more likely toobtain their degree, and the blacks/hispanics are less likely to obtain a degree. Similar patternsprevail with the part-time students as well, but to a lesser degree. (See Chart F.) In addition, thepart-time students' intent to obtain a degree or certificate is not as great.

A little more than one-half of the full-time students graduated in the top half of their class. Wefind that 70 percent of the full-time students over age 21 graduate in the top half of their class andclose to one-third of them graduate in the top quarter. Only 43 percent of the full-time black/hispanicsgraduated in the top half of their classes. There is little difference between those whn enter careerprograms to those who are in transfer majors. As with the full-time students, the older the part-timestudent, the more likely that he or she ranked high in the high school graduation ranking. In addition,part-time female and Asian students graduate higher in their class than other part-time students

Most full-time students attend Harper intending to transfer to a four-year school. The overalltrend shows an increase in the intent to transfer and a drop in those who said they attended to get ajob. (See Chart G.) This same pattern exists for part-time students, but at a smaller scale. (SeeChart H.) In addition, there is an increased percentage of students enrolling in transfer majors. (SeeCharts I and J.) This trend could be the result of the increase in tuition at four-year schools duringthe 80s. Although most full-time females indicate their intent is to transfer, they cite job preparation asa reason for attending college more often than male students do. The full-time students age 21 andover are more likely to come tc Harper to train for a future job than to transfer. The black/hispanicstudentS are more likely to indicate they are attending Harper to explore courses than other studentsindicate, although most of them indicate that they enrolled in order to transfer. Older part-timestudents enroll to improve their job skills. The younger part-time students are more likely to indicatefuture job or transfer reasons as the reason they enrolled. Older students or part-time Asian studentsare more likely to take courses for personal interest. It is interesting to note that the students who areenrolled in a career major program are split on their reasons for attending Harper - between future joband transfer.

In addition to more students enrolling in transfer programs and indicating transfer as the reasonfor attending Harper, there is a trend toward more reverse transfer students. This is particularly truefor part-time students. (See Chart K.) Older students and Asian students, whether full time or parttime, have the largest percentage of reverse transfer activity. In addition, the percentage of reversetransfers among all full-time students has increased slightly through the years.

Lastly, there is a trend toward more minority students enrolling at Harper College. Most ofthese students are black, hispanic or asian. This is true for both full-time and part-time students. (SeeCharts L and M.)

MAJQB CONCLUSIONS

Eight out of ten full-time students return to school at a later date for one year or more. This is

true for all races, genders and program categories other than blacks, hispanics and older students.

The part-time persistence rate for this same period is 60 percent. The full-time students will complete,

on the average, 37 credit hours and the part-time students will complete approximately 11 credit

hours. One-fourth of the full-time students will graduate, and most of the part-time students do not

intend to graduate.

There is a trend toward more students enrolling at Harper to transfer. In addition, the number

and percentage of students enrolling in transfer majors are increasing. At the same time there is an

increase of reverse transfers, particularly with those enrolling part time at Harper.

The GPAs of part-time students are higher than full-time students---2.34 compared to 2.1Y.

Male students have lower GPAs than the female students. Older students generally have higher GPAs

than younger students. Part-time female students outnumber part-time male students.

There has been a slight increase in both full time and part time enrollment of minorities at

Harper. Most of these students are either asian, black or hispanic.
