description: Increasing student attrition at high rates in Open and Distance Learning (ODL) institutions is a phenomenon which has not  been fully understood. Generally, much literature has been produced to explore student attrition in the conventional higher  education settings, which provides guidance as to possible factors that may influence attrition. Many factors affecting  student attrition have been identified; however, these results have only benefited the traditional institution of higher  education that promotes full-time learning, but have not helped the attrition rates at ODL institutions that supports formal  learning via lifelong learning (LLL). Today, in the advent of the Internet and its digital technologies, focus on LLL, online  education and adult learning is more evident. ODL institutions in Malaysia have now reached the mainstream of education  via lifelong learning through formal learning. Therefore, a major benefit of this research is to provide conclusive results,  which are to be used to work towards successfully reducing student attrition at ODL institutions, and, in turn, increase  their completion rates.
