Will students come back? Unfortunately, our survey results are not reassuring. For stop-outs, only 42 percent say it is likely they will enroll again in the future. And for those who plan to enroll again, 24 percent said they didn’t plan to enroll again until after 2023. In comparison, a majority of aspirants (65 percent) say that they plan to enroll in the future, but similar to stop-outs about a quarter (23 percent) say they plan to enroll after 2023.
