Abstract	This article explores four critical factors in the determining of regional and remote school students' intentions to progress to university. Three of these factors are based on the theory of planned behaviour (TPB): students' attitudes, the opinions of their significant others (social capital), and students' perceptions of control. A fourth factor, students' knowledge about university, is also examined, extending the TPB. The research model tested used the responses of a survey of 620 school students from remote and regional areas in New South Wales, Australia. Results show that students' attitudes towards university and perceptions about social capital are the most important predictors of their intentions to progress to university. In addition, students' knowledge about university was found to be a significant contributor to students' attitudes and perceptions of control. (As Provided).
