The Course Fees Assignment Wizard adds any fees assigned to a course to a student’s Fees tab or void fees that have been added to courses. The student must be actively enrolled for fees to be assigned.

If fees were previously assigned and the Course Fees Assignment Wizard is run again at a later date, the wizard does NOT create a new course fee for

  • a student that dropped a course that has a course fee, OR
  • a student that already has a course fee and the fee is marked as "Assessed Only Once."

Important Information about Course Fee Assignments

A System Preference, Auto Post Course Fees, can be set to Yes to ensure all students added to a course section will automatically be assigned any course fees. 

In order to run the Course Fees Assignment Wizard to create a fee assignment, the fee that is being assigned must be added to the Course Fees tab. 

The wizard assigns the fee to all courses that have the fee listed. For example, if Math and Science in the third term of the high school calendar have Activity Fee 3 listed on their Fees tabs, running the Course Fees Assignment Wizard for Activity Fee 3 in term three for the high school calendar will post the fee to students enrolled in both courses.

This field is used to indicate the number of calendar days a student must have been enrolled in a course to be eligible for a fee assignment. For example, if a value of 5 is entered, students who withdrew after 4 calendar days of enrollment will not be charged the fee.

  • When a student is scheduled into a course section after the start date of the course section, the number of days is compared to the days between the section end date (or term end date) and the date the student was scheduled into the course.
  • When a student ends enrollment in a course section, the number of days value is compared to the number of days the student was actively enrolled in the course section until the roster end date.
  • If this field is left blank, any student scheduled into a course section for any number of days will receive the fee assignment.
