We maintain a unique resource for researchers in the social and behavioral sciences, including data on education and employment outcomes for all higher education students from 2000 to the present. Degree completion is a major policy issue in education research, both for the K-12 and higher education sectors. This presentation will highlight three research questions that we have answered based on the data. First, how does participation in developmental education (non credit remedial courses in math and English) change the likelihood of completing a university degree?  Second, how does student financial support, specifically need-based financial aid, alter student progress in completing a higher education degree? Finally, how does student dropout from a registered apprenticeship depend on the organizational structure of the apprenticeship arrangement?  038 Townshend Hall Institute for Population Research popcenter@osu.edu America/New_York public
