Description
Summary:We examined the effects of student (academic preparation, psychosocial, socio-demographic, and situational) and institutional characteristics on long-term enrollment outcomes.

Our findings have implications for identifying at-risk students and tailoring efficient intervention strategies. (Contains 2 tables and 1 figure.)
