In an attempt to better understand students' reasons for withdrawing from Cerritos College, a follow-up postage-paid postcard questionnaire was sent to a sample of 1,027 students who had withdrawn between the first and tenth week of the Fall semester of 1972. Of the questionnaires, 34.3% were completed and returned. Analyses of the responses revealed that: (1) the student's financial needs and personal or health problems apparently compete most with his chances of continuing in college; (2) there appears to be concordance between reasons cited on the exit and follow-up questionnaires; thus, information gathered from the exit questionnaire may reflect the student's true feelings; (3) concerning the small proportion of discordant responses, it appears that "work interference" as a reason for withdrawing stated on the exit questionnaire may also reflect that "lack of interest,""personal or health problems,""courses not relevant to my goals," and "general feeling of not getting anywhere" may also play a part in the student's choice of seeking more financial support instead of continuing college; and (4) in reference to those who did not cite any reason on the exit questionnaire, the two most frequently cited reasons on the follow-up questionnaire were "to become employed," and "personal or health problems."
