Almost half of accepted students have GPAs in the 2.3-3.3 range (C+ to B+ students).We did not find a significant difference between entering GPAs for those who left STEM (n =21, m = 3.40) and those who stayed in STEM (n = 149, m = 3.39); t (168)= -.54, p = 0.96.

We assigned values of1= No, 2= Maybe, and 3= Yes to the survey question answers and analyzed the average scoresfor each question between the two groups (A/B in pre-requisite course vs. C or below in pre-requisite course). A t-test was used to test for statistical significance. The results (Figure 5)showed that students who came into the class with a C or below felt that the tiered mentoringproject gave them more expertise (p = .02) and more confidence (p = .01) in the topics theyworked on, compared to students who came into the class with As or Bs.

The lower satisfaction is unlikely due to students’ efforts to becomeinvolved on campus. Transfer students are more likely to be involved in a student organizationthan non-transfer students, despite having been on campus for a shorter period of time. Figure 1.

The highest concentration of gradesfor distance students was at the ‘C’ grade, with over 10% of distance students in the D/F/Wcategory. In contrast, no on-campus students finished in the D/F/W range and over 80% finishedin the ‘A’ or ‘B’ ranges. With the exception of the semester project, the average grade forcampus students was higher in each of the grading categories than for distance students(homework, exams, final exam).
