Ryzer

The University is pleased to partner with Ryzer to provide a participant registration system for use in UA-sponsored youth programs.

Benefits

  • Show off what your program does best.
    Each program will have their own custom-branded registration website with their own unique URL.  You can use your own photos and logos to illustrate just how great your program is!
  • No technical experience needed. 
    Ryzer handles all of the set up and maintenance.  They will train your staff on accessing your data and even assist parents/participants with troubleshooting any problems that come up.
  • No more collecting forms! 
    All of the required UA forms and waivers will be pre-loaded into the system to be completed electronically when participants are registered.  Programs may also add additional custom forms.
  • No more mailing checks!
    Fees are paid online and the funds are forwarded to the program twice a month.
  • Get the word out about your program.
    Ryzer’s website allows potential participants to create a profile and sign up for notifications about programs that suit their interests, across the entire Ryzer platform.  Plus, your custom site will also be accessible through the main UA Youth Programs site.
  • Get the data that you need.
    The system provides ample reporting features that allow you to stay on top of your registration process.  Custom reports can be developed, if needed.  And Ryzer will train your staff on how to access all your data and reports.
  • Save your budget.
    The great thing about Ryzer’s business model is that the fees are rolled into the participant’s registration costs, so there are no additional costs assessed to your program.

Fee Structure

In addition to the cost for your program, the following fees are charged directly to the participant.

  • Ryzer’s service charge is 5% of the original cost for the program (with a minimum $4).   This covers the services related to the set up and maintenance of your site as well as credit card fees associated with accepting online payments.
  • A Youth Protection Administration fee in the amount of $10 covers the services provided by the Office of Compliance, Ethics, and Regulatory Affairs (CERA) including covering the cost of background checks for program staff.

When the participant completes the registration process and pays their fees, Ryzer keeps their portion and forwards the rest to the University twice monthly.  CERA will disburse the funds owed to each program when the total is received from Ryzer.   Your program’s proceeds will be transferred into the account that you designate when you submit your program registration form.

Here are some examples of how the fee structure works at different price points:

  • If the participant fee is $75, the registrant would pay a total of $89.  $75 would go back to the program, $4 (minimum fee) would go to Ryzer, and $10 would go to the Youth Protection Program.
  • If the participant fee is $500, the registrant would pay a total of $535.  $500 would go back to the program, $25 would go to Ryzer (5% fee), and $10 would go to the Youth Protection Program.

Programs that are free to the participants, have restrictions to their fee structures, or have other arrangements that create concerns with the use of this system can request an exception to the use of Ryzer or to the Ryzer and/or Youth Protection Administration fees during program registration.  These will be reviewed by leadership and, if needed, discussed with the program director as they are received.

How to Get Started

The first step in moving to the new system is to register your program with Youth Protection.  The updated registration form will collect the information that Ryzer needs for site set up.  Once the site is configured, you will get the opportunity to make adjustments before you open registration.

Please submit your program registration form a minimum of two weeks in advance of the date that you intend to open participant registration.  This will allow time for your registration to be reviewed in CERA and allow Ryzer time to configure your site.
