Overview
Colleges have been delivering academic preparation courses for adult students since 1964 when the Community College system was established. Since 2000, with the project funding available from the Ministry of Training, Colleges, and Universities and the Federal Government there has been an opportunity to conduct research around the factors which enhance the success of students who return to school. The focus of the research which the CSC has conducted has been on developing effective delivery strategies based on the profiles and goals of students who participate in college programs. Although many of the reports and manuals which follow were written some time ago, the observations and recommendations are still applicable when developing programs which encourage student success and retention.
