dc.description.abstract	Our work with university Pasifika mathematics students has revealed that frequently these students do not follow a clear plan that will lead to the completion of a degree. This paper examines if students have a preconceived path through university study. We investigate to whom they turn to for advice and guidance when making their university career choices, if they have a plan of study and if they understand how to negotiate the requirements for completion. The information obtained from this research will help tertiary mathematics departments devise strategies to effectively steer students towards recognising their goals and how to choose courses that will maximise their chances of attaining them.	en
