Abstract:	A previous presentation compared expected freshman-to-sophomore retention behavior for students taking a first-year experience course to actual retention results for those without exposure to such a course. Two additional years worth of data are now available. The results of logistic regression analysis using various economic, financial, academic, and demographic variables indicate that the first-year experience course to some extent achieved its goals.
