| Abstract | The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of an academic support program on students who had been terminated from Eastern Kentucky University because of academic failure. Specifically it: (1) investigates the effect of improvement in reading comprehension, vocabulary and rate on grade point achievement after students participated in a college Learning Laboratory program; and (2) examines background and personality factors of students in an effort to discover whether there were traits common to "successful" student members of the rehabilitated group. Subjects were 37 students who were in the program from September, 1969, to Spring, 1970. Following intake interviews and testing, students were scheduled into a seven-week reading and study skills course. Newly acquired skills were reinforced in small, group study sessions which were also used to improve self-perception through interaction and self-evaluation. Results suggest that: (1) one-fourth of the college students whose college careers have been ended because of academic failures can be rehabilitated; (2) reading and study skill courses have value; (3) small group counseling combined with practical application of study skills can result in academic achievement.
