Do college students that go through the conduct process dropout at higher rates than their peers do? This exploratory case study researched first time, first-year students at a single research site over a two-year period to understand what the relationship was between student conduct and attrition. The study's main goal was to see if there were any statistically significant data associated with conduct students that dropped out. Academic data from the complete sample size of the population was used similarly to secondary data to study trends amongst the first-year students. Quantitative data was in the form of retention and student conduct reports. Qualitative data came in the form of retention and student conduct notes. The main findings from this study were that there was significant data associated with conduct students that drop out. Mainly, that when compared to the general population, conduct students drop out at higher rates than their peers did. With this information in hand, college professionals can design interventions for at-risk students to assist in their retention.
