✦ Synopsis

Abstract

Working more than part‐time and attending college part‐time negatively affect persistence, especially among low‐income students. Such choices also impede the ability of institutions to shorten time‐to‐degree, improve graduation rates, and accommodate larger numbers of students. Judicious use of student loans can help students reduce hours at work and finance full‐time attendance.
