Abstract: Dropping out of school has been a major concern at the Moroccan university for several years and is apparent in several university reports. 28% to 30% of students drop out in their first year. The risk factors for dropping out are numerous. The risk of dropping out of school is higher for a student from a disadvantageous social background than for those from a privileged background, with identical academic skills. Research shows that many factors, such as anxiety, uncertainty, Lack of guidance, isolation or alienation, academic difficulties, teaching methods and the teachers’ attitude are key determinants of students’ disengagement from their studies. Actions have been taken by the Moroccan government to reduce this phenomenon; particularly in the form of the “Programmed’Urgence” launched by the Ministry (2008-2012), but the situation has not improved significantly. This publication reports the results of a research conducted at the Cadi Ayyad University since 2015. The tool used to run this investigation is a questionnaire while withdrawing their baccalaureate’s degree from the student affairs service, canceling their registration.
