Exploring selected factors that determine graduation times in an undergraduate programme

Abstract: Introduction: Timely graduation is of colossal importance to students, universities, and other stakeholders. The purpose of this retrospective study was to examine the time taken to graduate and to determine if pre-enrolment demographic and experiential characteristics of students are predictive of the aggregate grade point average. The secondary purpose of the study was to identify individual aspects between cohorts based on the time taken to complete the course. Method: The sample for this study includ… Show more

“…Another study reports that first-year academic performance was higher for those students who graduated on time, considering that the grade average in each year was positively correlated with the grade average in the following year. Moreover, the previous education level and work experience predicted the grade average obtained at the end of the program [51]. For their part, Alyahyan and Düştegör [52], based on a full review of related studies, conclude that the main factors that influence on-time graduation are academic, pre-university, and university performance, and demographic aspects present in 69% of the reviewed works.…”
