    Introduction*This report is a first-time study of the relationship of attrition to revenues lost in four-year public, private, and for-profit colleges and universities on an annual basis. The report is the result of a study investigating the financial impact of attrition on four-year colleges and universities. Other studiesi of attrition and graduation rates report on the number of students lost to attrition but do not deal with the effects of the attrition to the schools fiscal situation. Realizing that every student who attends a college or university represents direct revenue to the school through tuition paid directly to the school or through a public formula that pays X number of dollars on a per student basis to the college or university, it appears apparent that when a student leaves the school the revenue received through tuition is lost either immediately or when the formulas are recalculated. Thus, a study of the relationship of attrition to dollars lost would indicate the effects of attrition on a schools revenues and thus its fiscal condition.

    The study is based on data collected from colleges and universities directly, through IPEDS, the Educational Trust, college and university websites and reporting, as well as the College Board Annual Survey of Colleges 2010. The report calculated the average six-year graduation and attrition rates of 1669 private, public and for-profit four-year colleges and universities then applied predicative formulas to determine the amount of revenue lost by the schools due to attrition for the 2010-2011 academic years.

    Revenue*lost*from*attrition**A concern central to retention and attrition is that colleges lose large sums of money when students leave. Each student who walks out the door takes his or her tuition, fees, and other revenue the school might have been able to receive such as for housing, food, and bookstore purchases. This is revenue that schools count on to support operations. Every student equates to a lifetime value for a school that is equal to the amount of money in immediate revenue (tuition etc. being brought in during the current semester) as well as potential future revenue in the form of future tuition fees plus potential alumni-related giving. The probable lifetime value of a student can be forecast by multiplying the number of years an average student attends the college or university times the tuition costs per year assuming the tuition stays steady over the period of attendance. So if a student attends a school for five years to graduate times $20,000 per year the lifetime value without alumni donation would be $100,000 dollars in tuition not counting in fees, housing and other associated revenues. These can also be calculated.

    Current value can be calculated to determine how much money is gained per student and thus also lost per student when one drops out of the school. Once the current value is known, it is not difficult to calculate for the entire departing cohort to see how much money colleges and universities lose from attrition. If a students current revenue value is $20,000 in tuition and five students leave the cohort revenue loss is $100,000. This figure does not add in the costs of acquiring the student or replacing him or her which has been set at $5,460 but does give a quick calculation of lost revenue from tuition for a college or university.

    The 1,669 colleges and universities studied here collectively lost revenue due to attrition in an amount close to $16.5 billion ($16,451,945,426) with the largest single school losing $102,533,338, the smallest single loss being $10,584, and the average school losing $9,910,811. The publicly assisted colleges and universities averaged a $13,267,214 loss from attrition; the average private college or university lost revenue of $8,331,593; and for-profit schools lost an average of $7,921,228.

    These are dollars that may have been calculated into the budgets of the schools but are still dollars not received as revenue. They remain as losses to revenue and at the very least $16.5 billion dollars left on the table nationally.

    Grading*schools*on*graduation**Most colleges grade students on an A to F scale with A being excellent or superior and F representing a failing grade. The numerical notions that correspond to the A-F scoring are as follows:

    ! ! ! ! A = 90-100% B = 80-89% C = 70-79% D = 60-69% F = 0-59% !If the 1,669 colleges and universities were graded using the same A through F scale they grade students on, the breakdown of the schools studied would be:

  • The Cost of College Attrition at Four-Year Colleges & Universities

    Grade Number A 43 B 101 C 165 D 259 F 1,132

    !The 1,669 schools in total would be earning an average grade of D or F (51.5 percent) if this were a college classroom. D and F are not passing grades. So the 1,669 schools would be failing in their graduation rates, losing large sums of revenue and thus failing their promises to their enrolled students. It certainly failing their bottom lines as well.

    These schools would also be failing themselves since every percent point less than 100 percent in the failing grade equals revenue lost. For example, in a school of 1,000 students, an F graduation rate would mean that at least half of the students are leaving the school and taking their money with them. Thus if the school lost half of its 1,000 students it would see the tuition rate times 50 students reducing the schools operational funds. By example, if the tuition were $10,000 multiplied by 50 students, that school would be losing $500,000 from tuition reduction alone. Considering also that this would represent almost 50 percent of revenue for the school, it is hard to see how it could manage its finances. "The actual amount of money that would be lost depends on when the student leaves the institution.

    What strikes researchers as significant is not merely the massive amount of money colleges and universities lose from attrition but that schools that graduate an average of less than 40 percent of entering students can attract new enrollment at all. Moreover, it is hard to understand that four-year colleges and universities that graduate less than 20 percent of an entering class even over a span of six years can remain at all attractive to potential students and remain in business. Furthermore, federal funds continue to support schools that cannot retain and graduate more than 20 percent of their students. As a policy consideration one needs to wonder whether or not funds should be given to institutions that cannot graduate at least 50% of a starting cohort which is the average as found in this study. Moreover the question needs to be raised is whether or not the best should be made into schools that graduate less than 20% of the students who enter them. Whether or not investing in these institutions makes sense is an issue that needs to be discussed further.

    Some*Immediate*Observations*It is interesting to note that of the 43 schools that graduate 90 percent and more of an entering class, only three are public institutions: University of Virginia; University of California Los Angeles; and The College of William and Mary. The other 40 are all private schools.

    Of the top 43 institutions with an average six-year graduation rate higher than 90 percent, most are name brand schools except for two small unbranded private colleges: Apex School of Theology (NC) and Sinte Gleska University (SD), a tribal college.

    Of the 43 lowest graduation schools, all with a graduation rate less than 11 percent, 20 are private schools, 16 for-profit, and 7 public institutions. One is a theologically-oriented school and one a tribal college.

    No apparent patterns come out of the study related to explaining attrition such as size of school; not by sector, cost, or Carnegie level. What is apparent, however, is that every school in the study lost significant sums of money from attrition. This is revenue that could have been captured in part to help during a time of fiscal uncertainty and contraction but was not.

    Additional*Consideration*to*Improve*Retention*and*Revenue*Though no apparent patterns came out of the data as has also been found in other studies on graduation rates (which are the flipside of attrition rates), it is recognized that the schools could improve their retention rates by up to 76 percent if they focus more on student needs and concepts of returns on investment.

    The 84 percent is a figure derived from seven annual studies2 of why students leave a college. They might transfer to another school but they drop out of the first school and take their tuition and fees with them. The results of the seven studies done with 2,400 students each after the students were out of a school for at least six months to allow students to respond to the study without emotional bias toward the school they left are below.

    These four major reasons for departure account for 84 percent of the attrition rate:

    1. College doesnt care, 2. Poor service and treatment, 3. Not worth it

    4. Schedule (not being able to find courses once it did their needs)

    !Exhibit 1. Reasons why students leave higher education

    !!

    These are all issues related to academic customer service3 (and thus can all be addressed by the institutions to improve retention and revenue). In fact, by addressing these issues successfully they could increase population by as much as 84 percent of the total number of drops. So, for instance, a school that is losing $1 million a year from attrition could recoup up to $840,000 by attending to the for academic customer service issues.

    An initial consideration of schools should be whether or not the students that they admit might actually realistically be successful in the institution. It needs to be assumed that schools accept only those students they believe have a strong likelihood of succeeding in their studies and the culture of the institution. To do otherwise would have to advance a cynical supposition that schools accept and enroll students they know may not succeed just for their tuition, fees, and collateral revenue. If this were so, they are doing a poor job of it since so many students leave the schools.

    Finally, the study raises concerns about the future financial well-being of those schools

    scoring a grade of D and certainly those scoring a grade of F. How they can maintain a budget that can produce academic viability and quality needs to be looked at. When a college or university is losing 60 to 90 percent of its potential revenue, there needs to be concern.

    Moreover, when schools are losing 80 to 90 percent of their student body each year, it should be questioned not just what they are doing wrong but if any students should enroll there? Considering that the odds of graduating at the average school is less than an even bet at 1,401 of the four-year colleges and universities. Students and families are flipping a coin for the odds of getting to the diploma which they seek at college for the future the college has marketed.

    It may be argued by some that exposure to college education is a plus and thus students who do not graduate have bettered themselves through their attendance. This is a self-serving and fallacious argument. Students enroll and attend college in search of the degree that will open the doors to a job and better life for them. Leaving college without a degree is in most every case not a gain but a failure of the school and student. The student has lost an opportunity and the money paid to attend college while the school loses future revenue and the opportunity to complete its mission for that student.

    And as this study shows, the loss of revenue from attrition for schools is significant and hurtful to the financial well-being of colleges and universities. The financial and personal losses to the students are equally significant.

    Calculations**The formula used for calculating annual projected attrition loss was taken from Customer Service Factors and the Cost of Attrition: Revised and Expanded.4 2010) The formula is expressed as [(P x A SL) x T)]/2 with P representing a schools Fall FTE population; A is the six-year annual attrition rate. So P x A yields SL (students lost), which is then multiplied by T (tuition). This is divided by two to account for the justifiable assumption that students drop after the first day and tuition is collected for the first semester from them but not the next. The formula does not account for uncollected tuition which will vary from school to school and add to the total loss.

    Population in each school was reduced by 7 percent prior to the calculation for total revenue lost to take into account the findings of the IES report Persistence and Attainment of 2003-04 Beginning Postsecondary Students After 6 Years (2010).5

    The attrition rate is a calculated annual average for the years 2003-4 through 2008-9. Using a 150 percent time to graduation rate provides the most accurate way of projecting each schools losses from attrition for two reasons. First, it allows for a lenient calculation of graduation rates by not holding four-year colleges to a four-year standard. This is in keeping with the accepted recognition that the average time to graduation is six-plus years nationally. Second, the average provides for a more consistent attrition rate since the variation in rates from year to year for most all schools exists in a very small range of variance (+/- 2.36%). Thus what was the attrition rate from one year will be very close to the next and the use of a six-year average mitigates variations.

    It may be that in some schools the average graduation time is actually more than six years such as might be argued by some of the on-line schools, such as the University of Phoenix On-Line, but that information is internal and not reflected in public records. Further, the calculations already incorporate a seven-percent persistence rate as discussed earlier in the report.

    Transfers*Out*The issue of the number of students that transfer out of a particular school is not significant to this study since the objective is to look at the total number of students lost. If they are lost through transferring to another school, dropping out or even stepping out with intentions to return at some date, they are still losses which in turn yield revenue losses to the university or college.
