Short Description:
One of the factors contributing to low success rates among California commuunity college students is the number of hours that students work at their jobs. To cover their costs, students work long hours, negatively affecting their academic performance. At the same time, existing sources of aid are being underutilized.
Annotation:
One of the factors contributing to low success rates among California commuunity college students is the number of hours that students work at their jobs. While community college is generally perceived as being the low-cost college option—and the system has been able to keep its fees extremely low—fees are only a small fraction of the full cost of attendance for a community college student. To cover their costs, students work long hours, negatively affecting their academic performance. At the same time, existing sources of aid are being underutilized. CALPIRG surveyed 2,679 students on campuses across the state to find out more about students’ work habits, their understanding of financial aid and how these factors might affect their academic success.
