Catching the Window of Opportunity: Being on Time for Higher Education.
Kempner, Ken; Kinnick, Mary
Journal of Higher Education, v61 n5 p535-47 Sep-Oct 1990

Students delaying college entry are less likely to attain a bachelor's degree. The finding is critical for students without characteristics to mediate the disadvantage of stopping out. (Author/MSE)
