Admissions

Acceptance rate

Yield rate
9.8%

Diman Regional Technical Institute admits 39% of applicants and is genuinely selective — roughly three in five applicants are turned away. Only 130 students applied, so treat these rates as directional — small pools swing sharply between cycles. A 10% yield rate is low: the admitted pool is much larger than the entering class.

Test score bands (middle 50% of submitters)

These bands describe the enrolled first-years who submitted a score, not the entering class. Where most students apply test-optional the submitters are a self-selected, higher-scoring group.

Student:faculty
5:1

No six-year graduation rate is reported for this institution, which is common for schools whose students are mostly part-time, transfer in, or enroll in short programs that the federal cohort measure does not track. Its absence is not itself a bad sign, but it does remove the clearest completion signal. 67% of full-time first-years come back for year two, so about one in three are gone before sophomore year. A 5:1 ratio points to small classes and accessible faculty. As a public short-program institution, the relevant comparison is other two-year schools rather than the national average across all institutions. At 56 undergraduates, expect a small, closely-held student body.

IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 56 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates

Net price lands at $21,734 a year on average, neither cheap nor punishing. The gap between the $0–30k and $110k+ bands is narrow ($23,192 versus $23,139), meaning aid is not strongly need-weighted. 59% of students receive grant aid, averaging $7,133 — common but not automatic. Borrowing is widespread: 64% take federal loans.

Entering first-year students

A different, smaller group than the rates above: full-time students in their first year of college anywhere. The grant series here also excludes the "other sources" counted in the all-undergraduate figure, so the two are not comparable.

Net price by family income

The same students as the headline above, limited to those who received Title IV federal aid — a narrower group, with a lower overall average. IPEDS publishes no combined figure across these bands, so they should not be averaged into one.
