| Sumario: | Student desertion is considered a problem for the Educational System. The objective of this study was to analyze student desertion and the incidence of determining factors in undergraduate students at the University of Cartagena. It is a descriptive, correlational study that characterizes the 16,927 undergraduate students enrolled at the University of Cartagena in various cohorts. Possible determinants of dropout risk and temporal dropout patterns were established. The data was consulted on the SPADIES platform, with prior authorization from the Planning Office. The sample was 1547 dropout students from the University of Cartagena and was proportional to each program and an instrument of 22 questions was used, prepared by the researchers. The dropout rate at the University of Cartagena has decreased and is in correspondence with the behavior of the average dropout rate nationwide. Men and students from distance learning programs are more at risk of dropping out, who enter with a low classification in the Saber 11 tests and have a higher risk in the first study periods.
