This study explored barriers to single-parent students' success. The researcher scrutinized options to implement new measures designed to encourage single parents and support this population in overcoming the challenges they encounter while juggling work, school, and home. The researcher focused on the plight of single-parent students enrolled in five of the six main Lone Star College campuses. Lone Star College-Kingwood was eliminated due to damage sustained during hurricane Harvey. This rendered the facilities inhabitable at the time the research was conducted. The researcher visited the five Lone Star College campuses during the Summer and Fall semesters for a range of one, two, or three visits per campus. The researcher modified her strategy in order to achieve a valid sample. Initially, focus group turnouts were dismal, particularly during the Summer session. As a result, the researcher primarily targeted evening, night, and weekend classes, including Sundays, during the Fall semester. Students were identified based on their status as single-parent students. The researcher introduced herself at the beginning of the class session and then waited until the class was dismissed to meet with single-parent students. There was a total of 48 participants. The length of each session varied from 20 to 60 minutes. The researcher found that there were more single parents in the later and weekend classes. Single-parent students' voices and experiences were captured using the eight focus group questions. Some students were audio-recorded and the data transcribed, while the majority of single-parent students submitted handwritten answers. The researcher reviewed and discussed the answers with participants. They tended to be more open if they were the last one left in the room. On more than one occasion, single-parent students became overwhelmed with emotion and frustration as they shared their stories. The data revealed some very interesting findings. The researcher hopes the results will encourage Lone Star College and its stakeholders to increase support for single-parent students as they struggle to complete their postsecondary education.
