Abstract This study explored the use of the Learning and Study Strategies Inventory (LASSI) as a predictive measure of the academic success of at-risk college students. Students (n=32) participated in a first-year support program designed to help at-risk college students with retention, academic support, and academic progression at a large state university. Five measures of academic achievement collected by the support program were used as dependent variables. Using multiple regression enter models, students’ LASSI subscale scores were analyzed with each of the five academic achievement variables. Results of the regression models were discussed based on a three-factor model developed by previous research that identified affective, goal, and comprehension monitoring strategies as latent constructs in the LASSI. The usefulness for using the LASSI in collegiate support programs was also discussed.
