A catalog of 205 descriptions of college programs to recruit and retain adult learners is presented, based on a national survey, "Attracting and Retaining Adult Learners" (ARAL), conducted in 1980 by the American College Testing Program. In addition to a brief program description, each program form provides information on the type of program, the target group, the primary purpose, satisfaction with the success of program, the estimated effectiveness of the program, and the contact person's name and telephone number. Mean satisfaction and effectiveness rankings for program categories and for target groups are displayed by institutional type. A cross-reference index is arranged by target group categories. Program categories are: registration; admissions; curricular innovations; administrative structure; financial aid; counseling; course offerings; orientation; skill development; class scheduling; marketing; recruitment; outreach; student services; academic advising; program evaluation; funding; career planning; support; and placement. Target groups include: nontraditional adults; part-timers; employed persons; public school teachers/administrators; career changers; the unemployed; first-time students; reentry students; high risk students; and currently enrolled students.
