The purpose of this non-experimental, quantitative case study was to compare the academic success of community college students over three academic years (2016-17 through 2018-19) before the onset of Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) based on final grades and the influence of student factors, class size, and faculty characteristics using archival data from selected online and on-ground classes at a Middle Tennessee community college. Female students, part-time students, and non-traditional students were more likely to be successful. Successful students were generally more likely to be taught by full-time faculty and tenured faculty.
