This large California community college had a manual, paper-based financial aid verification process that took 5-6 weeks per student. To improve efficiency and the student experience, the college implemented CampusLogic's StudentVerification system. This automated the verification process, reducing the average processing time by 95% to just 48 hours during peak season. It also allowed the college to reassign 5 financial aid staff members to student counseling and other tasks, freeing up over 200 hours per week. Students now enjoy a streamlined electronic verification process that is also more secure.

“It used to be all hands on deck, with all 8 staff doing
verification. Now, not only have we reduced the
processing time, but only 3 staff are doing
verification, allowing me to re-deploy the other
five to work on other assignments.”

SAVINGS

SCHOOL STATS
By implementing StudentVerification, operational
costs were cut by more than 50% in the first year and
the student experience was significantly improved.
The time savings of up to 95% means financial aid staff
has considerably more time to spend actually
counseling students.
