The partnership will offer the more than 1,700 college and university campuses, running on Campus Management's student information system, a best-in-class college-cost estimation solution.  A federal regulation requires all 6,800 postsecondary institutions that receive federal student aid funds to provide a net price calculator on their Web sites by October 29, 2011.  Working with Campus Management, Student Aid Services will customize its technology for client institutions to provide prospective students a more precise estimate of their aid eligibility and net price of a degree.

"The deadline for the new federal mandate is rapidly approaching. Campus Management formulated this relationship with Student Aid Services so our clients have the option of a ready solution that has the capability to fulfill these obligations and one that is being used by other well-known and respected colleges," said Timothy B. Loomer, president and chief executive officer of Campus Management. "Ultimately, Student Aid Services aims to help us help the students relying upon our systems to gain a better understanding and be more fully prepared for their total college experience."  

Student Aid Services'  net price calculators show an individual's net price, which is a personalized estimate after subtracting federal, state, military, and institutional grants, and other aid from a college's published tuition, fees, and other costs of attendance. Student Aid Services has customized its calculator technology for a variety of institutions, including those serving traditional students as well as part-time and non-traditional adult learners, where there may be variable program costs, non-term academic calendars, and multiple campuses for degree delivery.  

"Most importantly, our partnership means more prospective students can benefit from reliable estimates of their education cost," said Craig V. Carroll, Student Aid Services' founder and chief executive officer. "We are working with Campus Management to help institutions communicate their unique value and affordability as quickly and accurately as possible."

Campus Management's student information system, CampusVue Student, is a unified academic and administrative software platform, unique in its capabilities to serve institutions that have multiple campus locations, capable of efficiently managing flexible terms and nontraditional academic programs without dramatic software customizations and hard to maintain integrations to other systems.  CampusVue Student provides administrative, academic and business officers with a shared, centralized view of all campus operations, including online programs, for analysis and reporting.
