Abstract
This study rested hypotheses that the relation between intention (to s tay or transfer) and institutional departure is moderated by semester GPA, commitment and encouragement to stay. The results of a logistic r egression analysis on 652 community college students indicated that th e interaction effects of intention by commitment and intention by enco uragement to slay both significantly contributed to the prediction of institutional departure.
