Abstract	Data from the seven Hawaii community colleges were examined to determine the persistence patterns of students entering the system in Fall 1974, Fall 1975, and Fall 1976 after six semesters. Students were classified as: (1) non-persisters, i.e., those who attended one semester only; (2) moderate persisters, i.e., those who attended two or more continuous semesters (but fewer than six); (3) stop-outs, i.e., those who attended two or more non-consecutive semesters; (4) extreme persisters, i.e., those who attended six successive semesters at the campus they entered; and (5) graduates, i.e., those who earned a certificate or associate degree. In addition, data were collected and analyzed on students' sex, entry age, marital status, high school background, entry status, educational objectives, program of study during last semester in attendance, full- or part-time status, average semester hours attempted, cumulative grade point average, and cumulative credit completion ratio. Summary findings demonstrate similar patterns of persistence among the three entry groups. Moderate persisters comprised approximately 40% of each group, followed by non-persisters (25%), graduates (14%), extreme persisters (10%), and stop-outs (9%). Data tables illustrate statewide data.
