News from FACTS Management Tuition Payment Plan
FACTS Management has acquired a company, RenWeb, in order to offer broader services to schools. As a result, they have updated their website, FACTSmgt.com. We have been asked to pass the following information onto our school families.
Parents who preferred to log into their FACTS account from a bookmark or from a link on their school website can continue to do so.
Parents who preferred to log into their FACTS account from FACTSmgt.com will follow a similar process. Once on the new FACTSmgt.com, home page,they should click Parent Log In in the upper right hand corner and select Pay Tuition/Apply for Aid.
No matter which method parents choose to log into FACTS, their credentials (username and password) will remain the same. This change does not affect the functionality of FACTS for parents in any way.
If you prefer to receive withdrawal reminders via e-mail, make sure that FACTS messages are not blocked or being directed to spam. If you would like to receive a text message rather than e-mail, you mail log into your account and make that change. FACTS representatives at 1-866-441-4637 are available to assist with any questions you may have.
