| Summary: | The academic performance of the students, mainly during the first years of university studies, is one of the factors with the highest incidence regarding educational dropout. Abandonment at the National University of Luján (UNLu), was characterized analyzing the possible causes of the phenomenon and studying the impact of the Scholarship Programs regarding the improvement in student retention and academic performance. The UNLu has implemented since 2008 a Permanent Accessibility Monitoring Commission that aims to help overcome barriers to accessibility and the promotion of students with disabilities. The study of academic performance and abandonment was addressed of those entrants who declare a disability situation at the time of enrollment. We worked with the entrants of the cohorts 2010 to 2015, finding a better performance of the students who declared themselves disabled compared to the other members of the same court, both in their academic performance and in the abandonment rate and the graduation. |
