Regent Adds Revolutionary eExchange Process to Student Self Service Portal
New capability gives
students ability to securely submit and retrieve documents
Frederick, Maryland, April 22, 2008 -
Regent Education, the leading provider of financial aid management
Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solutions for higher education institutions,
today announced the first-ever eExchange process as a fully integrated
part of the Regent Student Self Service Portal. The
enhancements will be offered at no additional charge as part of the Regent
Enterprise solution.
Regent’s new eExchange
feature allows students to instantly and securely upload copies of tax
returns and other required documents via the student portal for the
financial aid office. The portal instantly confirms
to the student that the documents are received eliminating the need for
follow-up calls to the financial aid office. Previously, students had to
hand-deliver, mail or fax copies of tax returns and other documents to the
financial aid office.
“The updates we have
made to our Student Self-Service Portal will allow financial aid
administrators to respond faster to students’ needs and dramatically
reduce the stress for the student associated with applying for aid,”
said Leonard Gude, Regent’s Vice President of Financial Aid.
“The institution can now increase effectiveness of lead conversion
and optimize enrollments. They can also begin offering award letters
earlier, making them more competitive and extremely responsive to
students’ needs.”
The uploaded documents
go directly into the Regent Enterprise Financial Aid Management solution,
giving the school the ability to immediately review and confirm the
information is correct. If any documents are
incomplete or not signed, the school can electronically return the
document(s) to the student for download via the student portal.
