    This study validates Tinto's theory of student departure in a population of continuing first year university students attending an Australian university.

Good Teaching (as measured by the CEQ) showed strong correlations with academic and social integration and satisfaction. Academic and social integration and satisfaction, all contributed to intentions to remain in study. This study indicates that improving the quality of teaching should be one element of approaches to improving first year student retention. The relationships between these dimensions of the student experience warrant further attention, particularly in cross institutional studies and in relation to those who leave study.
