The Exempt/Unexempt Fee Assignments mode eliminates the student's need to pay the fee assignment. Unexempting indicates the student must make the fee payment. Only fee assignments marked May be Exempted are listed in the fee selection.
Exempted/Unexempted fees are visible on the student's Fees tab. A Fees Wizard log entry is also created and visible from the first page of the Fees Wizard.
