A school may recoup its investment in AskOnline by retaining just one student who otherwise would have dropped out.
And, losing a student means a school loses more than just that student's tuition revenue:
- Schools are required to admit more students to compensate for the students who drop out, increasing admission rate
- Student retains student debt burden, does not have the benefit of the degree
- Financial aid allocation needs to be spread over more students
- Increase cost to recruit a new student to replace the one who dropped out
- Foregone residence hall fees
- Lost bookstore revenues
- Lost campus dining revenues
- Lost future alumni giving revenue
