Ferrilli Does: Student Accounts

We are often asked “What does Ferrilli do?” Here is an example of what Ferrilli can do for student accounts:

We recently automated a school’s student refund process. The initial process required students to initiate refunds with a paper request form before the form passed through multiple offices for approval, eventually ending with a paper check refund.

Now, the automated process allows staff to identify refunds proactively and return money directly to the students’ credit cards, saving the school from dealing with paper request forms, paper checks, returned mail, and student frustration. We generate creative ideas to solve business problems!

– Instructional methods for those sections and faculty
– Section days and times
– Buildings and rooms for sections (using custom utilities rather than having to make these changes manually)
