We started with one question: why is collecting tuition still so complicated? DegreePaid exists to answer it.
Every year, thousands of students delay enrollment, drop courses, or leave institutions entirely because of unresolved balances and confusing payment processes. At the same time, Student Accounts offices are overwhelmed — manually tracking plans, chasing past-due balances, and reconciling data across disconnected systems.
DegreePaid was built to solve both sides of that problem. We give institutions a single, modern platform to manage payment plans, automate collections, and connect directly to their Student Information System — so staff spend less time on administration and students have a clear, manageable path to staying enrolled.
DegreePaid grew out of direct conversations with Student Accounts directors, bursars, and CFOs at institutions of every size — from community colleges managing a few hundred payment plans to university systems processing millions of dollars in tuition each semester.
The pattern was consistent: existing tools were either too rigid, too expensive, or too disconnected from the SIS to be truly useful. Spreadsheets were still common. Manual follow-up emails were the norm. Collections were handled reactively, not proactively.
We built DegreePaid to change that — a purpose-built platform that connects directly to the systems institutions already use, automates the workflows that consume staff time, and gives students a self-service experience that actually makes sense.
Today, DegreePaid serves institutions across the country, helping Student Accounts offices recover balances faster, enroll more students in payment plans, and spend more time on the work that matters.
Every feature we build is evaluated against one question: does this make it easier for a student to stay enrolled and on track? If not, we reconsider.
