In SchoolInsight, you can automatically generate course fees for students who are enrolled in courses that have associated costs that are billed to parents. This article explains when to generate course fees, things to be cautious about, and how to automatically generate course fees for students. The option to automatically generate course fees is available to schools who subscribe to the Tuition/Fees module.
Course fees are usually generated when student schedules for the upcoming academic year are complete or very near complete. In order to generate course fees, the upcoming academic year must be set to active. Before generating course fees for students, it is important to make sure that the fees on the courses reflect the upcoming year prices. Additionally, it is important to make sure that the students are enrolled in the correct course sections. There is not a way to mass undo student course fees. Therefore, if you generate incorrect course fees, you will have to correct them manually. One other important thing to note is that once course fees are generated, the academic year cannot be set back to future.
In order to be able to auto generate course fees, first you will need to:
Add, change, or remove course fees from courses
Set the academic year status to Active
To generate course fees:
- Go to Admin Main > Tuition/Fees > Auto-generate Course Fees
- Review the number of fees that will be generated for each course
- Create Course Fees
