Interconnected Student Billing and School Information
The best tuition management system is one where student data originates in the enrollment management system to avoid issues with importing data or syncing third-party databases; the same login credentials used to pay tuition deposits also provide access to academic records in the learning management system and student information system; and tuition and billing payments are automatically consolidated into the Blackbaud Financial Edge NXT ledger to avoid double data entry.
Only Blackbaud provides the true all-in-one cloud solution.
