The main objective of the study is to determine the factors affecting retention and attrition rates at La Consolacion University Philippines. Findings of the study revealed that LCUP experienced a downtrend in enrolment from school year 2009-2010 to 2012-2013 during the 1st and 2nd semesters of the school years 2009-2010, 2010-2011, and 2011-2012, respectively. However, during the school year 2012-2013, LCUP gained an additional of 183 students in the first semester, 252 in the second semester, and 112 in summer, respectively. The identified factors affecting attrition and retention rates such as the first year transition, academic advising, career planning and placement, learning assistance/academic support, mentoring, faculty development, financial aid, co-curricular programs and other services if not given enough attention could have a major effect in the enrolment statistics of the university. Hopes for higher retention rates are reliant on the concerted efforts between academic and administrative units, as well as on individual faculty members and academic support group.
