Campus Ivy

Campus Ivy, now part of the Portico platform, specialized in financial aid automation and compliance solutions for higher education institutions, particularly those focused on career and vocational training. Leveraging over 40 years of education expertise and 30 years in technology, Campus Ivy developed cloud-based, SIS-agnostic software and outsourcing services designed to streamline complex financial aid processes, ensure regulatory compliance, and improve operational efficiency for schools.

Their offerings included automated financial aid processing, document management, real-time reporting, disbursement and loan management, scholarship and grant management, and robust compliance tools. Campus Ivy also provided consulting, training, audit preparation, and policy development services, supporting institutions in navigating Title IV and other regulatory requirements. Their solutions were known for being user-friendly, mobile-enabled, and scalable, serving over 500 institutions and integrating with diverse student information systems.

In 2025, Campus Ivy joined forces with CourseKey and Verity IQ to form Portico, a unified student empowerment platform tailored for career-focused schools and non-traditional education providers. This integration expanded Campus Ivy’s impact, combining its financial aid expertise with Portico’s suite of tools for admissions, retention, attendance tracking, CRM, and payment processing, ultimately supporting the full student lifecycle and helping institutions recruit, retain, and place learners into jobs.
