Purchasing Miscellaneous Items
Your institution may provide access to students and others to select and purchase miscellaneous items or services outside of the regular tuition and fees calculated by Tuition Calculation. After selecting and purchasing these items or services, you will be routed to Make a Payment pages, where the transaction will be completed.
This section discusses how to:
Purchase miscellaneous items.
Select items.
Confirm an order.
Make a payment.
Note: Whether payment profile functionality is available in the Purchase Miscellaneous Items component depends on your self-service setup and on whether you use hosted payment.
See Understanding Self-Service Payment Profiles.
See Setting Up Installation Parameters and Keywords.
Note: Using hosted payment does not impact how you select items for purchase. However, the payment process for purchasing miscellaneous items is different depending on whether you use hosted or non-hosted payment. Refer to the Making Self-Service Payments section.
