Benchmarks for tuition discounting rates, net revenue, yield rate, and more for private and public institutionsHow does your tuition discounting compare to your peers?
For nearly all colleges and universities, tuition discounting is imperative in today's competitive environment. But how much do you discount compared to your peers?
The 2018 Discounting Reports provide benchmark data that allow you to compare your campus to peer institutions from around the country. The reports highlight current outcomes as well as trend data for:
- Tuition discounting rates
- Net revenue

Assess the impact of your tuition discounting on your enrollment goals
Both private and public institutions face tremendous challenges with tuition discounting. Private institutions are under increasing pressure to discount in the face of rising college costs. Public institutions face a similar issue while also having to maintain access to higher education for their constituents.
These reports provide insightful benchmarks for assessing your discounting and how it compares to other colleges and universities. You can use the data as a starting point for examining your discounting strategies and how they align with your enrollment goals.
Benchmark yield and melt rates
New for this year's study, the reports have results for melt rate—students who deposited but did not enroll—as well as yield rates for both first-year students and transfer students. This new metric provides an important benchmark for institutions looking to maximize their enrollment and revenue from their admitted students.
