Abstract:
Of the three motivation factors, the grade the student intends to earn had a strong association with
student performance at the commuter school but a weak one at the residential school. Intention to take the
CPA exam or attend graduate school had no associations with student performance at either school. The
same with respect to self-perceived writing, reading and listening abilities and the distraction factors of
job hours, job type, and course load. Math ability and GPA had strong associations with student
performance at the commuter school only. Intermediate Accounting I grade is a strong predictor of
student performance at both schools.
