New Tuition Fees, Recurring & One Time Fees

There are three types of fee options to consider when working in the billing system; New Tuition, Recurring, and One Time Fees. Tuition and Recurring Fees repeat on a set timeframe, and One Time Fees are charged just once. Any of these fees can have discounts applied when they are created. In addition, Discounts can be added later to billing transactions in either the Scheduled or Pending sections of the Transaction tab in a Family Account.

Note:  An Owner or Administrator automatically has permissions to add any type of fee to a Family Account.

New Tuition or Recurring Fees - Once set up, a New Tuition or Recurring Fee will automatically be invoiced to a family on the Invoice Date. Examples of these fees:

  • Weekly or monthly student tuition.
  • Monthly supply or meal fees.

One Time Fee - This fee is one-and-done. It's only charged once. Examples of One Time Fees include:

  • A fee for a field trip.
  • A fee for children's photos.
