Why Does Retention Matter?

Retention Rates Need Dramatic Improvement

Type of school Percentage of students returning for 2nd year Percentage of students graduating
2-year public 53.7% 29.3%
2-year private 55.5% 50.2%
4-year public 68.0% 40.3%
4-year private 69.6% 56.1%
Data from ACT Inc. study in 2008. Graduation rates are after 3 years for 2 year schools, 5 years for 4 year schools

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:

  1. Schools are required to admit more students to compensate for the students who drop out, increasing admission rate
  2. Student retains student debt burden, does not have the benefit of the degree
  3. Financial aid allocation needs to be spread over more students
  4. Increase cost to recruit a new student to replace the one who dropped out
  5. Foregone residence hall fees
  6. Lost bookstore revenues
  7. Lost campus dining revenues
  8. Lost future alumni giving revenue
