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.
If a fee was paid using an online payment, the fee assignment can NOT be made made exempt. If needed, use the Payments Reporter to refund the payment.

- A fee assignment that has adjustments will be exempted and the adjustments will be voided. The balance due is set to $0.
- A fee assignment with voids will be exempted and the voids will be ignored. The balance due is set to $0.

Select Students | Students can be selected by a Grade Level or an Ad hoc Filter.
