Conducted as part of a larger study, this study attempted to describe and compare academic achievement of students who intended to enter selected faculties (education, engineering, arts and sciences) of the University of Regina (Canada) in the fall of 1982 and 1983 and who graduated from Saskatchewan high schools. This group totaled 3,632 of whom 2,663 were accepted by the university. Data were collected on the following variables: birth date, gender, faculty year of entry, high school graduation date, high school location, grades in selected high school courses, and grade point average (GPA). For purposes of comparison, the population was divided by year of entry and by faculty selected. Results are presented in tabular and narrative form. It is concluded that students intending to enter the Faculty of Education demonstrated lower overall academic performance, based on high school grades. Although overall GPAs for the entire population were above average, the achievement of education applicants is lower than their college-bound peers. (KM)
