Students Come First. We Help You Do That.
Service to students as they pursue higher education is likely why to committed yourself to this challenging profession. You wish you had more time to spend with students who need your help to fully understand and benefit from the financial aid process, but there is too much paper pushing competing for your time and attention. Regent Education’s financial aid software helps financial aid offices free up staff to work more with students on smart borrowing, special circumstances, and “high touch” issues, while staying compliant and efficient in processing awards.
Non-traditional Enrollment Models
To better serve your diverse student population, your institution has developed new and innovative non-term academic delivery models that challenge your routine financial aid practices. We offer highly configurable and flexible financial aid software that can support all learning models including standard and nonstandard terms, subscription periods, and nonterm over both SAY and BBAY academic years.
Manual Processes
Any student action other than normal full-time course completions requires manual intervention by a financial aid staff member. Reentries, program changes, and any other manual interventions can be time consuming and introduce compliance risks. Our software automatically processes certain changes and provides processing wizards to support staff through easy and consistent treatment of other exceptions.
Regulatory COMPLIANCE
Our experienced compliance team tracks regulatory changes and issues to ensure our software complies with federal requirements. Regulatory updates are seamlessly incorporated into our cloud-based platform, minimizing your office’s risk of non-compliance.
Processing Speed
Both students and upper management apply constant pressure for speedy delivery of financial aid funds. You are stretched between accommodating their needs and ensuring that the right funds go to the right student at the right time. Regent solutions automate verification, packaging, and disbursement of financial aid, provide useful reports, and automatically schedule staff tasks to resolve issues. Our software allows you to fully automate the tracking of standard documents in electronic format as they are reviewed and approved by appropriate financial aid professionals. Students can complete and e-sign documents or upload them through the student portal.
Centralization, Cost and Control
If, due to outsourcing or multiple processing centers, you lack visibility or controls over financial aid at your institution, we provide structure and automation to ensure compliance, consistency and efficiency.
