Peralta Community College District Selects Regent Financial Aid Module for PeopleSoft 8.9 Deployment

Peralta selected Regent because of its expertise in financial aid software, its ability to handle multiple campuses, and the company's strong track record with institutions in California, all while maximizing Peralta's PeopleSoft investment.

"Regent was the only solution on the market that could meet our institutions' unique multi-campus requirements and fully integrate with our PeopleSoft investment," said Gary Perkins, Peralta's CIO.
