Abstract:
On November 25, 1998, OCC disenrolled 1,766 students for the
winter semester for non-payment of tuition after TouchTone #1, totaling
roughly 13,197 credit hours. OCC's Institutional Research office agreed to track the 1,766 disenrolled students to better answer the questions: What do students think of OCC after being disenrolled for non-payment?
How many disenrolled students never come back to OCC?
Why would any school, declining in enrollment, turn away students and, by
implication, send the message that they should consider taking their business
elsewhere?
In this competitive arena, shouldn't OCC go out of its way to accommodate the
needs of students rather than hold firmly to policies created in a time when there
were more students than spaces available?
