Abstract
The academic records of 562 students who had requested counseling for personal concerns during a 1-year period were examined after a 2-year interval to determine academic outcome. Analyses showed that students receiving counseling enjoyed a retention advantage relative to noncoun seled students. Results of a probit analysis showed a positive, negati vely accelerating dose-response relationship between number of counsel ing sessions and student retention.
