“…Moreover, documentary analysis revealed that financial, mental-health, and lack of resources were the most common reasons for the students to file a temporary discontinuation of their studies within the institution. This is quite similar to the findings of Banzuelo (2021), Parreño (2019), andBolsoni-Silva et al (2018) in their respective studies. Some of the students stepped back from schooling due to uncertainty of financial stability brought by the pandemic COVID-19.…”

“…This suggests that residency of a learner can be associated with the learner's course completion during the pandemic COVID-19. However, the residency of learners is a potential reason to drop out from the institution as mentioned by Parreño (2019). Due to the pandemic COVID-19 and modality of learning, some of the graduates took advantage of the situation in order for them to complete their respective course programs.…”

The pandemic COVID-19 unveiled and magnified the various learning challenges experienced by learners which yield to learning gaps, losses, and higher dropout rates, especially in the tertiary level of education. With this, there is a need to investigate on how learners are able to complete their respective course programs in the new normal. This study attempted to understand the learner’s course completion through a graduation cohort analysis approach which is anchored on a quantitative-qualitative research design. Results uncovered that gender and residency of the learners are positively correlated to the length of their course completion. In addition, the course completion varies on the learners’ gender and residency. Furthermore, 79% of the learners were able to complete their course on-time with an average of 3.72 years and standard deviation of 1.09 years. Consequently, financial, mental-health, and lack of resources were the emerging reasons for the temporary discontinuation of their studies. Hence, these findings can be used as a basis for the Philippine Private Higher Education Institution to plan and implement an institutional learning recovery program.
