Record tuition payment and adjustment

The 'Make Payment' feature in Tuition allows guardians to pay student tuitions using cash, check, or credit/debit card. Payments are processed in the order of due dates, with each amount reflecting the scheduled payment amount adjusted for any related modifications. District administrators can review and verify these adjustments within the student tuition details and proceed with paying the corrected amounts.

Make an Adjustment

The Make Adjustment feature lets districts apply charges or credits to a student’s tuition after it has been assigned. Use the Adjustment Type Increase/Debit to increase the balance or Decrease/Credit to reduce it. Adjustments can be applied to a specific payment or distributed across the remaining payments. Multiple adjustments can be made and will appear as separate line items in the student's tuition record.

Adjustments cannot reduce the unpaid balance to a negative amount.
