William Penn University Selects Regent Enterprise

Frederick, Maryland, May 12, 2009 - Regent Education, the leading provider of financial aid management Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solutions for higher education institutions, today announced that William Penn University has selected Regent Enterprise as its financial aid management solution. The Regent solution will be integrated with William Penn’s existing database system.

Located in Oskaloosa, IA, William Penn University has a full-time student population of over 1,700, with 700 in the non-term program. Ninety-eight percent of those students receive some form of financial aid. With such a high percentage of students receiving aid, William Penn needed a solution that could easily, efficiently, and securely handle its financial aid management needs, especially a solution that would automate its non-term processing.

“Regent Enterprise is taking William Penn to the next level of technology, allowing us to process aid in a non-term environment, using a secure, on-demand solution,” said Dr. Ann Fields, William Penn University’s Provost. “The time that the financial aid staff will save through Regent’s automated non-term capabilities, which William Penn is helping to define during our implementation, will allow the financial aid staff to focus more of their attention on the students and less on data processing and paperwork.”

Key benefits of Regent Enterprise include:

• Automatic updates, including state and federal regulations
• Lower total cost of ownership
• Accelerated implementation 
• Secure IT infrastructure
  

“As more and more colleges and universities are expanding their offerings from traditional programs, to non-traditional, non-term programs, Regent Enterprise is staying a step ahead of the curve by providing cutting edge technology that will allow schools like William Penn to automate their entire financial aid processing lifecycle,” said Michael Ratti, Regent’s CEO. “We welcome William Penn to the Regent family, and we look forward to a successful partnership for years to come.”
