A Smooth Transition: A Phenomenological Approach to Understanding the Experiences of First-Time, Full-Time, Provisionally Accepted Black Male Students

This article is the result of research conducted provisionally admitted Black make students enrolled at four different public universities in the Southeast.  The researcher sought to answer the following research question: What are the lived experiences of provisionally accepted first-time, full-time Black male students within their first year at a state college and state university? Participants were selected based on having the highest and lowest Expected Family Contribution scores of the eligible population.  The researcher utilized a phenomenological approach and multiple methods of data collection.  This resulted in rich data that has been categorized into themes.  The article concludes with implications for college and university faculty and administrators, as well as for future research on provisionally admitted Black male college students. &nbsp
