A study was conducted to determine the differences in the perceptions of administrators, student development practitioners, faculty, and students with respect to the effectiveness of selected student services in two-year colleges in Alabama. A survey instrument, requesting respondents to express their agreement or disagreement with 57 statements regarding registrar functions, financial aid and job placement, guidance and counseling, student activities, and special services, was completed at 36 of the 41 two-year colleges in the state. Of the 1,337 questionnaires administered, 1,094 or 81.8% were completed and returned. Study findings included the following: (1) administrators, student development practitioners, and students did not give significantly different ratings to registrar functions, financial aid and job placement, guidance and counseling, and special activities; (2) administrators and student development practitioners gave significantly lower ratings to special services than faculty and students; (3) faculty members perceived registrar functions less positively than student development practitioners, administrators, and students; and (4) students perceived the effectiveness of registrar functions, financial aid and job placement, student activities, and special services functions more negatively than administrators and student development practitioners.
