Part of a series on student flow in the seven Hawaii community colleges, this report analyzes fall 1975 entering students in their fifth semester. Of a total of 8,979 entering students in fall 1975, 2,342 were registered in fall 1977, and 1,844 had been continuously enrolled over the five semesters. The continuation rate from the previous semester was 67%, and rates were lower at every campus compared to the previous semester. Overall, continuation rates were higher for males, students over 29 at the time of entry, married students, graduates of island public high schools, new students as compared to transfer students, full-time students, those seeking an Associate of Science degree, those in business programs, those having between a 2.0-2.9 grade point average, and those with a credit-completion ratio of .70-.79 or .90-.99. There were fewer statistically significant differences between continuing and non-continuing students in the third, fourth and fifth semesters than in the second semester of enrollment. For the community college total and for each of the seven community colleges in the system, there was a statiscally significant difference in continuation rates for the credit-completion ratio characteristic. Extensive tables supplement the text. (LH)
