| Sumari: | University-based enabling programs provide an important pathway to tertiary study for large numbers of non-traditional students (especially those in government-targeted equity groups). Such programs tend to have rates of student attrition which are high relative to those of undergraduate degree programs, a matter of continuing concern to all those responsible for their supervision and delivery. This project investigated the nature and causes of student attrition in enabling programs and, in particular, determined any similarities and differences in these processes in undergraduate programs. Recommendation measures for enhancing student retention are made. The project was undertaken by academics from five Australian universities prominent in the delivery of enabling programs: The University of Newcastle, the University of Southern Queensland, the University of South Australia, the University of New England and Edith Cowan University. These programs represent a cross-section of Australian university-based enabling programs. The project comprised two major components: an empirical study of student attrition in the participating institutions' enabling programs and a combined dissemination/consultation process centred on a series of regional workshops.
