The effects of pre- and post-enrollment factors on technical post-secondary school achievement were analyzed using data collected from a well-known accredited technical college in the south. The results indicated that high school diploma type, gender, race, absences, performance expectations and entrance exam scores were good predictors of initial achievement. Second-quarter achievement was predicted by student work hours, gender, diploma type, initial achievement and student goal commitment. With the exception of GEDs, no evidence was found for poorer achievement among nontraditional students.
