South Mountain Community College
Susan Starrfield, Stephen Goebel, Tiffanye Sledge
Student purges for nonpayment remain hindrances to SMCC enrollment and retention. Limited financial aid provides students with few options, and purges an average of 399 students per semester. While 24% of these students subsequently return to SMCC, greater proportions attend other MCCD colleges. Based on strong 45th Day survival rates for these students at the other colleges, questions of whether the existence of loan, scholarship and other programs would address SMCC's enrollment and retention issues are raised.
