Pricing for university student workforce operations

Back to landing page

Stop rebuilding student schedules around classes every week.

Campus managers lose hours reconciling class schedules, availability, hour limits, work-study requirements, department coverage, swaps, attendance, and payroll handoff. Shiftelix turns that weekly rebuild into one governed student workforce workflow.

The University Workforce template starts with Compliance. Choose Operations when attendance, payroll review, and analytics must run in the same workflow; choose Enterprise for procurement, SSO, governance, and rollout support. Basic remains available for simple scheduling without the university template.

Which plan should I choose?

7-day trial timeline

1. Verify your email using the secure link we send. 2. Use the workspace without a card upfront. 3. We ask what saved time. 4. Payment setup is prompted before the trial ends. 5. Choose Basic, Compliance, or Operations by day 7.

When the trial ends, most workspace features pause until a paid plan is activated. Trial expiry itself does not delete the workspace; Billing and onboarding remain available. We do not promise a separate post-trial retention window or a one-click full-workspace export. Complete any supported exports before the displayed end date. Deletion and retained-record limits follow the Terms and Privacy Policy.

Billing lifecycle and rollout guidance

1. Start trial

Pick Basic, Compliance, or Operations and start a verified 7-day trial with no card upfront.

2. Verify email

A secure email link confirms the workspace owner before trial access opens.

3. Prove value

Day 5 asks what saved time, and day 6 prompts payment setup before activation.

4. Activate

On day 7, activate Basic, Compliance, or Operations and keep the workspace running.

Trial policy

New workspaces enter through plan selection on this page, then continue to register and onboarding with the selected plan intent.

Downgrade behavior

Features that are no longer included remain visible but locked, and historical records stay intact.

Security posture

Entitlements are backend-enforced first. UI lock states mirror server authorization and limits.

Enterprise procurement and written-scope planning.

Keep enterprise pricing simulation and sales contact separate for cleaner procurement workflows. Implementation and support terms apply only when confirmed in a written quote or agreement.

Frequently asked questions

No. New workspaces can start a 7-day trial without a card. Verify your email using the secure link we send, then payment setup is prompted near the end of the trial.

Billing shows which features will lock before a plan change. Review the current plan-change summary, Terms, and Privacy Policy before confirming; this page does not promise a separate retention period.

Shiftelix is tuned first for higher-education student workforce teams across campus departments. Other sector workflows remain available for review, but university terminology, setup, and policy guardrails are the current product default.

Every workspace has role-based access controls, clear audit history, and plan limits that are enforced consistently.

Your trial starts after you verify your email using a secure link. Billing shows the authoritative trial end date and activation action before access changes. When the trial ends, most workspace features pause until a paid plan is activated. Trial expiry itself does not delete the workspace; Billing and onboarding remain available. We do not promise a separate post-trial retention window or a one-click full-workspace export. Complete any supported exports before the displayed end date. Deletion and retained-record limits follow the Terms and Privacy Policy.
