Abstract | Many postsecondary students possess risk factors that are associated with decreased rates of persistence and credential completion. Traditional students, those without risk factors and with greater rates of postsecondary success are in the minority. Using data from Achieving the Dream: Community College Count, this issue of "Data Notes" examines Achieving the Dream data for students identified as possessing risk factors, by intensity of risk. The outcomes of students with none, one, two, and three or more risk factors were compared. The vast majority--92 percent--of Achieving the Dream students came to college with at least one risk factor. Although students possessing risk factors did not complete or transfer at the same rates as those with no risk factors, the study indicates that persistence through the third year was found to be inversely related to the number of risk factors students possess.
