Why Every Admissions Office Should Do a Non-Matriculant Study

Stamats Insights

It’s yield season! For many in higher education, this is the time when you shift focus from generating and reading applications to convincing admitted students to enroll. It’s a time filled with events, direct outreach to admitted students, and the all-important enrollment deposit reports.

Yield is a complicated animal; the factors that influence a student to choose College A over College B are as varied as the students themselves. It is essential, therefore, for admissions professionals to know why admitted students chose to go somewhere else. In our experience, surveying these students with a non-matriculant study is one of the most – if not THE most – valuable research projects a college can do every year or two.
