| Abstract | The effects of student characteristics and remedial program placement policy on academic achievement and other outcomes were studied at 10 Michigan community colleges. The study population consisted of 3,448 students enrolled in remedial writing at colleges with a compulsory remedial placement policy and 2,669 students enrolled in remedial writing at colleges with a voluntary placement policy. The influence of the following student characteristics was assessed: age, sex, race/ethnicity, residence, student status, educational level, high school grade point average (GPA), high school English grade, and financial aid. Outcomes were: GPA and grades in remedial writing and college English, credits earned and number of courses completed, and degree/certification completion. Students in voluntary programs tended to show higher achievement for short-term achievement measures (remedial and college-level writing course grades and GPA), while those in compulsory programs were more likely to be persisters and to perform effectively on measures identified as long-term outcomes. However, the factors of age and full-time or part-time status appeared to independently affect achievement and persistence. (SW) |
