dc.description.abstract	The presence of academic entitlement within post-secondary students poses a significant threat to higher education. Elevated senses of academic entitlement often result in a student’s expectation to achieve academic success without acknowledging the additional rigors associated with post-secondary coursework. Students may outwardly exhibit negative emotional responses when they fail to achieve high marks. This may be coupled with a view that the pursuit of a post-secondary education is a commodity as opposed to an opportunity to expand intellectual horizons. Elevated senses of academic entitlement may result in the disruption of healthy classroom dynamics, place additional strain on post-secondary faculty, and impact promotion and tenure processes. The researcher investigated the currently held self-perceptions of academic entitlement at a Senior Military College in the southeast region of the United States during the 2019 Fall semester. Key Words: academic entitlement, Senior Military College, post-secondary, student-cadets	en_US
