Abstract	Quinsigamond Community College (QCC), located in Worcester, Massachusetts, experienced a decline in enrollment and persistence between 2003 and 2007. The institution responded to this issue through several initiatives, including the creation of an orientation course for developmental students enrolled in its General Studies program, an Event Registration period during the last two weeks of registration for all students, the creation of a Retention Committee, and the creation of an in-depth Career, Academic and Personal Success (CAPS) plan and associated academic advising session. This study examines the difference participation in the new CAPS advising session has on student persistence of General Studies majors. Student goals and transfer intentions are investigated as they relate to student fall-to-spring and fall-to-fall persistence.
