     We offer both an internal plan and an external through TMS. Over the
    last few years the # on the internal have dropped.
    We offer both as a choice to students.

    We are on Datatel but don't use their programs for our internal plan as
    they are cumbersome at best and don't meet our needs. If there is a
    difficult way to do things, Datatel will find it. We use a custom
    program I received from another Datatel school and we modified to meet
    our needs.
    It takes about a minute to set up a plan using the custom software.
    For TMS, these people are given a code designating them as such and we
    track and bill them this way.
    The TMS payments are posted through a batch import process.
