It also offers loan controls by program, tracks enrollment transitions, and reassesses loans automatically when enrollment thresholds are crossed. The web-based software runs in the cloud and requires no installation. It connects with Department of Education systems including COD, NSLDS, and Clearinghouse, and supports links to most SIS/ERP platforms through API or FTP. Listed SIS integrations include Anthology, Orbund, Verity, Maestro, Diamond, CampusLogin, and Populi; Stars supports exports only. Portico says its financial aid software is regularly updated to align with federal, state, and institutional policies and includes audit-ready reporting. Schools may use the software in-house or request managed services and project support. Pricing is on request and per-student, scaling with the school.
