As part of a continuing study of student flow in the Hawaii community colleges, this report analyzes the persistence patterns of 1974 entering students after six semesters for the community college total and the seven campuses. The persistence patterns of the 9,171 students showed that 29% enrolled for only one semester at their campus of entry (non-persisters), 39% enrolled for two or more continuous semesters (moderate persisters), 9% enrolled for two or more non-continuous semesters (stop-outs), 10% enrolled for all six semesters (extreme persisters), and 13% graduated by the end of the sixth semester. Significant differences in persistence patterns at the .001 level were found on all ten characteristics studied: sex, age, marital status, high school background, entry status, full- or part-time status, educational objective, program of study, cumulative grade point average, and cumulative credit-completion ratio. The young, the single, graduates of Hawaii's high schools, and full-time students tended to be persisters or graduates. Females tended to be either non-persisters or graduates, while males tended to be moderate persisters, stop-outs or extreme persisters. Great variation was found in persistence patterns among programs on the same campus and among students in similar programs on different campuses. (LH)
