Academic Persistence Community Colleges Data Analysis Dropout Attitudes Dropout Characteristics Educational Background Occupational Surveys Participant Satisfaction Persistence Questionnaires Student Attrition Student Characteristics Student Educational Objectives Student Employment Surveys Two Year College Students Two Year Colleges Students previously attending Arapahoe Community College (ACC), Littleton, Colorado, who had not returned for at lest one quarter during the 1974-75 year were sent the Student Outcomes Questionnaire to elicit their reasons for not returning, satisfaction with their experiences at ACC, present and future plans, and background and demographic information. The 825 respondents (approximately 38%) were categorized according to the educational goals held when they left ACC: 8% sought a certificate; 20% sought an associate degree; and 70% sought neither. The background data showed that 94% of the respondents were Colorado residents, 94% were white, and 66% had a high school diploma as their highest degree. The median age of the dropouts was 26, and one third of the male respondents were veterans. Over 80% attended ACC for one year or less. For all categories of dropouts, important reasons for leaving included: conflict between job and studies, lack of money, and home responsibilities. As for opinions of college services and experiences, three items were rated as very satisfactory: school location, library services, and enrollment size. Approximately two-thirds of the former students had either returned to school or intended to enroll within the next year. The questionnaire is appended. This booklet is a supporting document for the Student Outcomes Questionnaires. It is illustrative of the type of report that might be written as a detailed summary of a student outcomes survey.
