FACTORS AFFECTING STUDENT SUCCESS & RETENTION AT PURDUE
Multiple correlations between measures of academic success and unit level student entering academic profiles at one institution tend to lead to correlations of low to moderate effect sizes (Bridgeman, McCamley-Jenkins, & Ervin, 2000)
Some reasons identified in the literature (Stumpf & Stanley, 2002)• Restriction of range inherent in any one institutions academic profile• The interdependence of academic profile variables from high school transcripts
and standardized tests• The disparate academic experience of students in one institution
GROUPED DATA PREDICTIONS
SOLUTION BASED ON NATIONAL SAMPLE
Based on Stumpf and Stanley’s 2002 article use grouped data items readily available in two national data sets
• Integrated Post-Secondary Education Data System (IPEDS)– 25th and 75th percentile of SAT Scores
• US News and World Report National Colleges data set– Percentage of students in top ten percent of high school class
Criterion variable was six-year graduation rates pulled from IPEDS
Final data set consisted of 199 institutions
Multiple correlation for model R2 = 0.8025 distinguishing between graduation rates at different institutions
GROUPED DATA PREDICTIONS
PURDUE RESULTS
Use national model at university level to predict success among different subgroups
• how well are individual colleges performing versus their predicted performance
Overall, Purdue outperforms its predicted rate• Most recent US News Report showed Purdue as a four percentage point
over performance as well
The majority of the colleges on the campus over perform as well• Wide range in performance (-6.75 to +38.88)

WHAT IS THE RELATIONSHIP?
• Academic success co-varies with engagement
• Academic success is subsequent to engagement
• Engagement promotes academic success
CO-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES
HOW DOES ENGAGEMENTPROMOTE ACADEMIC SUCCESS?
• Most engaged students are excellent to begin with
• Engagement imposes order & discipline• Getting involved caps out-of-class activity• Expectations are high• Special tutoring is provided• Mens sana in corpore sano• Some course credits are relatively easy
