Needs for learning assistance of an adult upper-division Master's level student body were found to be stable over time and similar for continuing and entering students. The findings were based upon three student groups: 994 continuing students sampled in 1980, 1061 continuing students sampled in 1982, and 333 newly admitted students sampled in 1982. The percentage of degree-seeking students in each year was 37% in 1980 and 52% in 1982. These groups were representative of the student body, and there was minimum overlap of the 1980 and 1982 groups of continuing students.
