Abstract	Online education increases in popularity for traditional and nontraditional undergraduate students, albeit some learners complete while others drop out. This case study focused on the experiences of 2 groups of Anglophone Caribbean students who enrolled in undergraduate online degree programs in the academic year 2013-2014 at a regional Caribbean university: 60 completers; and 41 noncompleters. It followed the cohort's progress from enrollment to the point of dropout or graduation by the academic year 2018-2019. Results of logistic regressions showed the suitability of the program to learning style, family structure, and age were the best indicators of persistence. (As Provided).
