Redefine the Student Offer

A better strategy for enrollment, affordability, and completion.

DegreeWisR helps institutions recognize the value students already bring — and understand the financial value of doing it. Scholarships matter. But discounting alone is no longer a complete strategy for enrollment, affordability, and completion.

Create the complete offer.

Students need more insight.

Bring the pieces of their full enrollment package together before they make their decision to deposit.

01

Credit Recognized

Show students what previous learning counts at the institution.

02

Credits Remaining

Make the path to the credential clear with how credits count.

03

Cost to Complete

Move beyond annual tuition and scholarship.

04

Value of the Offer

Show students why your institution is different.

Don’t just discount the pathway.

CHANGE THE VALUE PROPOSITION.

A scholarship says:

We will charge you less for what remains.

Scholarship
Credits Remaining
To Completion

We value what you already know and you won't have to pay to learn it again.

Scholarship
Credits Remaining
To Completion

Both can be important. Together, they create a more complete enrollment strategy.

THERE'S A MATH PROBLEM WORTH SEEING

Awarding credit means a student may take fewer credits.

But fewer credits do not necessarily mean less institutional value. An institution may be able to:

RETAIN MORE
Net Revenue

Reduce institutional discounting on the credits the student still needs.

RECEIVE IT FASTER
Revenue by Semester

Generate more of the student's net revenue over fewer terms.

CREATE MORE VALUE
For the Student

Reduce unnecessary coursework, cost, and time without compromising learning.

The question isn't simply how much tuition you bill.

It’s how much revenue you actually retain—and when.

MOVE CREDIT TO THE FRONT OF THE CONVERSATION.

evaluation often happens after a student enrolls.

Prior-learning evaluation often happens after a student enrolls. That’s too late for it to influence the enrollment decision.

Evaluate applicable learning earlier so the offer can say:

Current

Value arrives after the decision is made.

Enroll

Evaluate Credit

Unexpected Outcomes

Better

Value shapes the decision itself.

Evaluate

Build Offer

Enroll

Make recognized credit part of the offer—not surprise after enrollment.

Differentiate Your Institution

Signal something different.

Tell future learners—and the workforce—that your institution:

Values Learning

No matter where legitimate learning occurred.

Values the Student

Recognizes that the student is a valuable part of the workforce.

Values Affordability

By reducing unnecessary cost, not simply discounting it.

Protects the Credential

By awarding credit for demonstrated learning without compromising academic expectations.

Should we increase the discount or create more value another way?
