Abstract	In this study, we explored the effect of delayed enrollment in college-level mathematics upon entry into a 4-year university for students who were not placed into remedial mathematics (i.e. college ready). For students who attempted a mathematics course, delayed enrollment in mathematics did not have an effect on GPA, graduating within 6-years or passing and failing their first mathematics course suggesting a delay in mathematics enrollment may benefit some students. However, the majority of students who did not graduate within 6-years never attempted a mathematics course. Almost all of those students were non-STEM majors. An implication of our study is that students in non-STEM should be encouraged to complete a mathematics course early within their degree versus avoiding mathematics. (As Provided).
