Getting Back on Track: Effects of a Community College Program for Probationary Students

摘要

This report describes findings from a random assignment study of two versions of a program for students on probation at Chaffey College, a community college in Rancho Cucamonga, approximately 40 miles east of Los Angeles. Both versions offered students a College Success course, taught by a college counselor, that helped probationary students understand college rules and regulations and develop better study skills. As part of the course, students were expected to visit the colleges Success Centers, where individualized or group instruction in math, reading, and writing was available.
