Why do students stay at the University of Arizona?

* Finding and connecting with a community
* Making friends
* Using UA resources like tutoring
* Connecting with an academic advisor
Why do students leave the University of Arizona?
Staff have worked to better understand what challenges Arizona students may face, and to better understand why they leave the institution. Through internal data gathering and analysis and external partnerships we have been able to identify why students leave campus as well as what helps students thrive.
Top Predictors of Student Persistence
* Cumulative GPA
* Unmet Financial Need
* Living Arrangements
* Residency
* Timing of Enrollment/Course Registration
* Credit Attempted
Based on exit data from students leaving the institution after 1 or 2 semesters, there are five key areas that impact students most greatly:
* Emotional health problems
* Stress/Anxiety
* Insufficient financial aid/unmet need
* Life changes (marriage, divorce, pregnancy)
* Family member who needs assistance
