Risely for public universities
Work every student in a class of thousands.
Risely's agents work inside the student information system, the aid platform and the advancement database a public university already runs. They do the work a staff member would do and bring it back finished for an advisor or the gift officer to approve.
Retention and progression
Census should not be where the campus finds out.
Risely's agents read a withdrawal against the hours a student still needs and draft the second-half sections that put her back on the mark. Your advisers hold that conversation a month before census.
Enrollment
Attention should not thin as the class grows.
Risely's agents answer each inquiry in the student's own terms, from which transfer credits carry into the major to what the first bill comes to after aid. Your counselor reaches the student who never called.
Financial aid
An unresolved award should never cost a term.
Risely's agents clear the item holding an award, package the grants and the loan behind it, and lift the hold before the registration window closes. Your students register on time with the aid already on the account.
Advancement
The research should be finished before the officer calls.
Risely's agents read the promotion notice, match it to an alumni record and pull the giving history, then name the reason to call. Your gift officers reach names the research desk would never have opened.
One student, three numbers.
The student information system knows her by campus ID. Financial aid keeps its own. Advancement adds a third the year she graduates.
Risely Fabric joins them into one working record without replacing a system or changing a source. Every fact keeps where it came from and when it changed.
Performance funding carries 9.0 percent of state appropriations at four-year public institutions and 13.3 percent at two-year institutions (SHEEO, fiscal 2025). State appropriations per full-time student fell in fiscal 2025 for the first time since 2012, per SHEEO's State Higher Education Finance report.
