Abstract
The purpose of this research was to determine the predictors of first-year students' transfer intentions as a means to more effectively address student attrition. Based upon the literature and a qualitative exploratory study (n = 29), 17 factors associated with student attrition were identified. Data collected from the ensuing quantitative main study (n = 334) across three universities was analysed using multinomial and binary logistic regression. The results revealed that a) students' plans at commencement to complete their study at their current university; and b) students' inertia once enrolled at a university significantly differentiated between those students who intended to stay, those who intended to leave and those that were undecided at the end of their first year at university.
