A Mentoring Program for Remedial Students

Abstract

The effectiveness of a mentoring program for 53 at-risk students was investigated. The investigation followed the similar research models as those previously implemented in higher education settings whereby undergraduate and graduate peers, in good academic standing, served as mentors to students in academic jeopardy. The grade point averages and attrition of a cohort of students on academic probation or warning was recorded during two consecutive semesters. A mentoring intervention was instituted during the second semester. The results indicated that the mentoring intervention had a positive impact on retention and grade point averages for this student cohort.
