According to this article college students drops out because they're suffering personal

disappointments, financial problems, and lowering career and life goals. In the past few
years, recognition of the of the immediate settle and decline the number of students of
college going age has given a certain sense of uninteresting necessity not only to the
understanding of students who drop out and why, but also to encourage the to stay. In
addition to its describing a social ill. They also stated that Private higher education
institutions (HEIs) are aware of the importance of student retention issue because
students experience a tangible demonstration of a valid and meaning of institutional
mission (Scholder and Maguire, 2009). asking for feedbacks from the students about a
specific areas of the institution like value, resources, academics, faculty,
advising/supporting service, social life, extracurricular activities, educational goals, and
preparation for the future, This article stated that the causes of attrition has now taken on
the proportion of the administrative necessity to keep students.
At the same time, a new movement for student consumer rights has developed. This
movement has challenged long practices and assumptions about higher education. One of
the reason that has been challenged is that, it is always the choice of the student to
continue his or her education without interruption. Many students question of any
dropping or stepping out on college. They say that information about options other than
four consecutive years of college education should be made available to them, and should
be made as clear and efficient as possible.
This position is consistent with the view of education as a life-long learning process.
Thus, while colleges are concerned about what they think are high dropout rates, it is
clear that any subtle society will no longer be effective in retaining students. But college
concern about attrition and students' concern about their rights as consumers are really
balance. Although a great deal of smart research has described the reasons for dropping
out, with the exception of the very few students who leave due to circumstances beyond
their control, the student reasons all stem from discontentment with (or lack of sufficient
perceived benefits from) the academic or social life of the institution.
For some, this discontentment would be present regardless of the educational service that
is provided: they did not really want to go to college, the time is right for a break in their
formal education, or their talents could be better used elsewhere. For others, their original
college choice was a mistake, and their dissatisfaction could be eliminated by transfer.
For still others, a better, more complete educational service offered by their college may
have prevented or reduced the source of their dissatisfaction, may have changed their
perception of long-range college benefits, and may have resulted in retention. For the
benefit of this closing group, and for the benefit of the perhaps larger group of
dissatisfied students who would not consider withdrawal as an option, a college can deal
with its dropout problem by doing everything it can to upgrade the educational service, in
its broadest sense, that it provides its students. Such an attack on the root causes that
contribute to attrition would benefit all students and would be an excellent recruitment
tactic for future classes.

Therefore, what is important is to look into specific reasons or factors (herein called
attrition/delay factors) why computer science and information technology students are not
able to finish and/or take a long time to finish. The main objective of the present study is
to uncover institutional, programmatic and personal factors that represent hurdles in
successfully finishing degree. In addition this study was conducted by the researchers to
find out and assess the contributory factors affecting the high attrition rates of Computer
Science and IT students of the College of Engineering and Computer Studies (CECS) of
St. Michaels College. The results of this study will serve as the beginning point of the
College program that will seek to address these challenges of every higher education
institution, the students high attrition rates.
