Following up on the transition to university and university persistence, 119 (44 males, 75 females) students who had not graduated (within seven years) from a large, computer canadian university were interviewed leavers were not a homogenous group but could be divided into categories of departure, transfered to another university (29,4%), transferred to collgege (29,4%) took temporary leave (11,8%), dropped out (20,2%) and put on academic probation (9,2%). Quantitative analyses indicated that transfer and non continuing students differed on previously collected measures of achievement and parental reciprocity (wintre & yaffe 2000). Interview data demonstrated that reasons for leaving were more related to mobility, exploration and career paths, characteristics of emerging adulthood, than to negative negative university experiences. Furthermore, many former students completed their degrees elsewhere, decreasing the previously reported attrition rate from 42,1% to 22,5%.
