Abstract	Previous studies by the Manitoba Post-Secondary Research Reference Committee have indicated a substantial group of high school students who, although they had indicated a 40% or greater chance of going on to post-secondary education the next fall, did not enroll. This group, although academically qualified, had experienced circumstances which caused them to change their minds. This study investigated the basic profile of this nonparticipating group who had indicated earlier post-secondary intentions and attempts to discover the reasons why their aspirations were not realized. The study estimates the proportion of the sample population that entered post-secondary education. For the nonparticipating group, the study provides a profile of socio-economic characteristics, factors accounting for nonparticipation, post high school experiences, and future plans with respect to continuing education. It is considered that this information will be of value to institutions and other post-secondary organizations to understand more clearly why qualified people do not participate in post-secondary education and to assist with the development of plans to meet the educational needs of such individuals.
