Abstract
This paper reports on the findings of a “tertiary stage” intervention initiative conducted by the Faculty of Business at Charles Sturt University targeting “at risk” primarily distance students. The aim of the intervention was to improve student outcomes for those students who were repeating a subject that they had failed previously via the provision of academic advice and guidance delivered over the telephone. Improved student outcomes could be expected to lead to improved progression and retention. Results of the investigation showed higher retention and success rates for students who experienced the intervention when compared with repeat fail students who did not receive the academic advice.
