What is a concession?

A concession is a way of categorising a student into a group which may be eligible for a discount. Concessions may be externally defined groups, like High School Students, Senior’s or Health Care Card Holders. You may ask these students to provide details of their membership to a group by providing a card number and expiry date. You may allow students to add these details to their record on the website during enrolment or via their profile.

Concessions can also be internally defined groups like teaching staff, admin staff and VIP students. These types of concessions may not have numbers or expiry dates, and cannot be added by students on the website, but can still be used to provide discounts when enrolling online.

You can create a concession type in the Preferences window, under 'Concessions'. You can learn more in our Concession Types chapter.

Concessions, discounts, memberships and promotional codes are a powerful part of onCourse marketing. For more information on how to apply concessions or memberships to a discount, see our discounts chapter.
