What VIAS Financial Plans is
VIAS Financial Plans brings financial plans and campus management together for higher education institutions. It handles financial aid, cash payments and tuition costs, with automated plan letters and a connection to the student ledger. Tuition, fees, aid disbursements, refunds and payments post to that ledger automatically. Institutions can prepare personalized estimated plans and, once approved, convert them into live plans that post directly to the ledger.
Financial aid tools cover document tracking, past-due reconciliations, compliance reporting, academic and NSLDS enrollment reporting automation, default management tracking, shopping sheet automation and ISIR batch uploads. Reports include activity, student starts, aid completion, NSLDS enrollment disbursements and ISIR batch importing. Advisor activity and student interactions can be tracked in a single database, alongside plans and disbursements. Aid projections help institutions forecast budgets and award counts. VIAS lists Android, iOS, web and API access, plus integrations connected through its API. Pricing is available on request.
