Abstract

Understanding the experiences of provisionally admitted black male Colleges and universities, both within Georgia and nationwide, admit students who do not fully meet institutional admission standards. Typically referred to as provisional admits, the students then have requirements they must meet in order to gain full admission status. In Georgia, small percentages of provisionally admitted students graduate on time. Coupled with nationwide graduation rates for Black male students, the number of Black male provisionally admitted students who graduate on time is concerningly low. Further understanding of this phenomenon is needed to better support Black male students who enter Georgia institutions with provisional admission status. The purpose of the study was to explore perceptions of first-time, full-time Black male provisionally accepted students to achieve a clear understanding of factors that contribute to their academic success. The researcher utilized a phenomenological approach and multiple methods of data collection. This resulted in rich data that has been categorized into the overarching themes of “a provisional opportunity” and “family matters.” Implications for student affairs professionals, faculty, and other stakeholders are provided, as well as recommendations for future research on provisionally admitted Black male college students.

了解乔治亚州临时录取黑人男大学生的经历
了解临时录取的黑人男性学院和大学的经历,无论是在佐治亚州和全国范围内,录取的学生不完全符合机构的录取标准。通常被称为临时录取,学生必须满足一些要求,才能获得完全录取资格。在乔治亚州,只有一小部分临时录取的学生按时毕业。再加上全国黑人男学生的毕业率,临时录取的黑人男学生中按时毕业的人数少得令人担忧。需要进一步了解这一现象,以便更好地支持以临时录取身份进入乔治亚州院校的黑人男生。这项研究的目的是探索首次被临时录取的全日制黑人男性学生的看法,以清楚地了解有助于他们学业成功的因素。研究者利用现象学方法和多种数据收集方法。这产生了丰富的数据,这些数据被归类为“临时机会”和“家庭事务”这两个主要主题。提供了对学生事务专业人员,教师和其他利益相关者的影响,以及对临时录取的黑人男性大学生的未来研究的建议。
