Payment Plans
Keep Students Enrolled and on Track
We’ll give you the tools and expertise to market payment plans to students, letting them know they can spread tuition payments throughout the semester. Once they’re enrolled in a plan, they can easily set up automatic payments (using their own currency if they’re an international student), check their balance, and monitor their account. If they fall behind on their payments, our plans can help them get back on track – keeping them enrolled throughout the process.

With three types of Payment Plans, you’ll be able to support nearly every student on campus, no matter their situation. These plans integrate with your ERP, come with customizable payment options/schedules, and are housed in a helpful, easy-to-navigate dashboard – helping you increase receivables and reduce workloads.
Actively Managed Payment Plans
The “standard” payment plan allows students to spread out tuition and fee payments into multiple payments over the course of a semester. In addition to the plans themselves, we’ll also follow up on delinquent payments, help promote the plans on campus, and offer a full-service support team to help staff and students.
Past Due Payment Plans
When students fall behind on payments, getting them back on track can be a difficult and expensive process – when you partner with us, it isn’t. You can also proactively set up automatic communication for students with past-due accounts to get them back on track as quickly as possible.
International Payment Plans
International students won’t just be able to set up a payment plan – they’ll be able to securely make payments using their local currency. And, just like our other plans, they’ll have access to our fully-staffed customer service team if they ever need a helping hand.
Business Office
Whether students fall behind on payments or just need an easier way to pay tuition, Payment Plans help. Improve student retention and avoid overloading your business office – all at once.
Automate the Details
Spend less time performing manual, repetitive work and more time preparing, strategizing, and supporting your students.
