Customizing Admissions and Enrollment Fees
Does your school normally charge a fee when a family applies or enrolls in TADS? If so, there may be times when you need to customize them for particular students. We have you covered! TADS has the flexibility to support several different scenarios, including the following:
Mailed Payment Overrides – You can enter a Mailed Payment Override for Admissions Fees or Enrollment Fees if you normally require immediate payment online but want to allow a family to pay later or bring a payment to your school directly.
Split Household Tuition Deposits – You can Split Household Deposits between multiple parties so that each is billed and credited properly for their tuition deposit.
Manage Student Transcript Requests
Be prepared for student transcript requests by reviewing our Transcripts Overview.
