This paper shares the results of a longitudinal, descriptive study of 675 online students' expectations and experiences across five years (2016-2021) at an institution in the southern U.S. that is highly ranked in online support services and programmatic offerings. Data included demographic information, open-ended responses, cumulative GPA, and final academic status. Results both reinforced and deviated from extant literature, with an important distinction being the differentiation between students in blended and online programs. Findings revealed a mismatch between expectations and actual experiences for both online and blended students. Implications for retention are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
