AICUO Partner: Overture Technologies; Prager, Sealy & Co.
Technologies of Bethesda, Md., is an online loan comparison and shopping service available to more than 140,000 students attending 51 Ohio nonprofit institutions of higher education. The Marketplace is the only online service that presents students with upfront, accurate comparisons of rates and terms — not “as low as” advertisements — so they can effectively evaluate available private loan funding options, if they have exhausted federal and institutional grants and loans. As part of Overture’s Private Loan Marketplace network of Web sites, operating in Ohio and 10 other states, the Ohio marketplace also helps students discover untapped sources of loans; emphasizes financial literacy and smart borrowing habits; preserves borrower credit scores and privacy; and provides colleges and universities with a straightforward path to HEOA Section 601 compliance. The Marketplace connects borrowers to a wide range of lenders, including national banks and nonprofit credit unions. Students interested in the Ohio Private Loan Marketplace should contact their campus financial aid offices.

AICUO Partner: Sightlines, LLC
Sightlines is a leader in helping colleges and universities better manage their facilities operation and capital investments. Sightlines provides tools for strategic planning, analyzing and benchmarking that generate an independent, reliable comparison of campus performance in these areas against peer institutions.
Using its unique, proprietary Return on Physical Assets (ROPASM) process, Sightlines visits each campus annually to collect more than 200 indicators of facilities and financial data and then identifies trends and provides useful analysis and benchmarks. With Sightlines, institutions receive the context and validation they need to make sound, clear, informed and financially credible decisions about campus facilities. As a result, campuses can optimize capital investments, address backlog of deferred maintenance projects, develop a strategy to steward physical assets, improve the effectiveness of facility operations, reduce energy consumption and better serve students, faculty, staff, and visitors.
AICUO's agreement with Sightlines provides a discount of up to 15% off the cost of the first-year historical analysis. In addition, by signing up through AICUO, Sightlines will be providing your institution with annual sector analysis of how well AICUO members are addressing physical asset needs compared to independent and public institutions across the country.
