Our Partners
TouchNet is a longtime partner of major student and financial systems with higher education expertise
TouchNet is one of the best investments that we have made on our campus—particularly within the finance area. We routinely see software programs on our campus that promise and do not deliver. That can never be said about TouchNet. They always deliver exactly what we need, when we need it. They make our jobs so much easier and our students' lives so much easier when it comes to managing their finances.
Karen Sorrell, Caroll Community College
Going live with OneCard Access was a game changer. For the first time, I didn’t have to be present for every student check-in. TouchNet is built for higher education — it lets me manage access by terms and semesters, which other systems just couldn’t do. Having everything in one place just makes it so much simpler. You can print the badge, set up access groups, and even automate things.
I love data. I can pull reports and custom views from OneCard, and tell better stories with that data. And integration is key — it keeps things running smoothly behind the scenes so our staff can focus on their jobs, not the tech.
Tammy Robertson, North Idaho College
TouchNet has helped us realize many efficiencies. For example, with the online payments through Bill+Payment, (our online FTE), transactions are about 90%. That means students are serving themselves. Also, using PayPath and being able to pass on credit card transaction fees has saved me close to about $900,000 a year.
Matt Smith, Tennessee Tech University
Marketplace is a really great solution for non-student receivables. A lot of times when we started going around campus and asking people how they were taking payments, I got a lot of different answers. That made me very nervous. What I really wanted to do was standardize it and also give departments a way to modernize their payment acceptance.
Janet Burkhardt, University of Denver
Compliance is extremely important, but it also has to fit within the framework of moving forward as an institution, of not thinking about it all the time so that you can focus on the students. TouchNet really makes that happen for us. I have complete security. I feel very confident that TouchNet is taking care of us, taking care of our students. That’s the kind of partner you want.
