      Abstract
      The Ministry of Education has compiled annual reports on the participation of Maori in

      tertiary education. The 2002 report presented a comprehensive description of Maori

      participation across all tertiary institutions within New Zealand in that year. The figures

      show that Maori are markedly under-represented in tertiary institutions, particularly

      universities.

      The barriers encountered by Maori students can either directly or indirectly impact on

      Maori participation, retention and success. The more disturbing outcome is that of

      withdrawal or dropping out of higher education, is more likely when a Maori student

      experiences and has to confront multiple rather than single barriers.

      With this in mind, the aim of this study was to examine and identify trends apparent in

      data records of Maori students enrolled in courses offered by the Faculty of Arts and

      Social Sciences at the University of Waikato between 1997 and 2002 and to make

      recommendations to the Faculty about how negative trends might be addressed. Specific

      areas for analysis are detailed in the report.
