For Small College & University Business Offices
Guaranteed tuition revenue for small colleges and universities.
A tuition guarantee subscription gives your business office predictable tuition revenue on schedule, independent of individual student payment timing. Serviced by Clad Payments.
The Problem
Smaller colleges carry outsized tuition risk.
Smaller, tuition-dependent colleges don't have the reserves of a large endowment behind them. Late payments, lapsed payment plans, and enrollment swings hit the operating budget directly — and a lean business office is left absorbing the gap.
Thin margin for payment risk
Without a large endowment to fall back on, a stretch of late or missed tuition payments can strain operations quickly.
Lean business office, heavy workload
Bursar and business office staff are often stretched across billing, collections, and reporting — with little time left for anything else.
Students want flexible payment plans
Students and families want to spread tuition across the semester — without your institution carrying the risk that a plan lapses.
