Abstract	The purpose of the present study was to gain some insight as to why students initiate but do not complete registration at Cerritos College. A sample of 1,275 were identified as not having completed the registration process preceding the Fall semester, 1972. A postage-paid postcard questionnaire was sent to each of these students; 28% were completed and returned. The results suggest that: (1) apparently the major reason why some potential students do not complete registration is that they are unable to take the course they desire at a time that fits their schedule; (2) about 24% of those who did return the questionnaire attended another two-year college or four-year school the same semester; (3) of the "other" reasons for not completing registration, the four most frequently cited were: (a) "Personal, health, or family problems"; (b) "In military service"; (c) "Moved or out of state"; and (d) "Money problems." In addition, 40% stated they were considering enrolling in the Spring, and 49% said they were not. (Author)
