in a paper on enrolment dropout rates in some faculties Are discourage singly High although they Are comparable with his previous experience at to Rontos Scarborough col Campbell wrote after analysing Attri Tion and graduation Statis tics for each faculty and school for 1971 to of the students in first year in 19 per cent had dropped out by the end of their first year and 32 per cent by of students in 20 per cent dropped out by the end of their first clearly the major Levels of attrition Are in first whether one can say that these Levels of attrition Are High or Low relative to experience in other universities is not Clear because similar data Are not currently Campbell his reported indicated that dropout rates have declined consistently in Only six areas Agricula Tures diploma Home eco medical Reh Abili nursing and phar several of the others show no consistent trends but most show in Campbell he expressed specific con Cern Over High attrition rates in the general arts and science the u of m has sent out questionnaires to students who have withdrawn from the University As part of a major study of dropouts being conducted by the of fice of institutional Analy the University also

Overall enrolment the report analyses what is expected to happen with Stu Dent numbers and graduates at primary and secondary schools in Mani Toba the number of Stu dents who enter the u of m directly from High school and continuation rates in the University faculties and University officials cautioned that the predictions Are just there subject to change As they Are compared to actual experiences such As this years unexpected drop in Overall enrolment of two to three per cent compared with among his Campbell noted with some Surprise that Only about 54 per cent of first year Stu dents at the u of m graduated from Manitoba secondary schools in the previous the other 46 per cent included about eight per cent who graduated from a Manitoba High school in earlier years about 16 per cent who transferred from other pos secondary institutions or Between u of m faculties seven per cent who returned after dropping out or convert ing from part to full time eight per cent who came from out
