abstract = "The impact of a one-credit study skills course on the academic performance and retention of second-semester freshman probationary students at a state-supported university was examined. At the conclusion of the semester in which the interventions occurred, statistically significant differences
were found in the dependent variables of grade point averages, academic hours attempted, and academic hours earned. Differences which favored the treatment groups were also apparent one and two years later. Retention data favored the treatment group.",
