FAQ
Questions and answers.
Is Finn FERPA-compliant?+
Finn is built for FERPA-aware handling: Brian and the enrollment advisor are hard-blocked from disclosing enrolled-student information without explicit consent, and prospect and applicant data is treated under FERPA's directory-information rules. As the educational institution, you remain the responsible party under FERPA.
Can Finn handle financial aid questions?+
Walks prospects through FAFSA timeline, scholarship deadlines, and merit-aid eligibility — without quoting specific awards. Specific award conversations route to a financial aid officer.
What about international applicants?+
Finn handles all 46 supported languages — admissions calls run in the prospect's preferred language without routing to a bilingual counselor.
Does Finn handle decision-day pressure?+
Calls admitted students before deposit deadlines to answer last-minute questions, walks them through deposit submission. Lifts deposit conversion 5–10% in pilot programs.
Which SIS systems are supported?+
Banner, PowerCampus, Anthology, Workday Student. CRMs: Salesforce EDA, Slate, EduGuide.
