Process steps
Follow the process from start to finish. Select a step to see who acts and what changes.
Approve the fee plan
Bursar reviews the enrollment, policy version and any concession evidence. A concession change must be approved before it changes the amount billed.
Issue charges
Bursar creates due-dated charges from the approved plan. Preserve the source policy and distinguish tuition from other charge categories.
Confirm and allocate receipts
Bursar imports confirmed payments using unique provider references and allocates each receipt against outstanding charges. Retain partial balances and unallocated cash.
Reconcile the ledger
Finance Manager compares charges, credits and allocated cash with the control accounts. Investigate unmatched amounts before approving the journal for posting.

When the process needs attention
- exception A browser success page is treated as bank confirmation.
- duplicate The same payment event is imported twice.
- exception A withdrawal deletes the original charge instead of preserving an adjustment.
Prepare a rehearsal
Rehearse a partial payment, an overpayment, a duplicate notification and an approved withdrawal adjustment. The student account and ledger control account must explain the same outstanding amount after each case.
Check permissions and map the source records before importing open work.

Process reports
All reportsUnallocated receipts
Identify confirmed money that has not yet been matched to a student charge.
Student fee aging
Show outstanding charges by due date after allocated receipts and approved adjustments.
Agent support
Scope student access by campus, assigned teaching group and legitimate work responsibility. Registrar owns admission and enrollment decisions; Bursar owns fee-policy exceptions. Preserve dated correction history and prevent preparers from approving their own exceptions. Decisions use the configured person's permissions, evidence and review policy. Do not let generated recommendations replace the authorized business decision.
