Managing Student Permissions

This section provides an overview of student permissions and discusses:

Certain types of credits to a student's account are restricted as to what types of charges they can be applied to as well as what term or terms, by Aid Year versus by Academic Year. For example, the Department of Education requires authorization from a student before applying Title IV financial aid to a students account for charges other than allowable charges, which are tuition, mandatory fees, and contracted housing and board. Additionally, some scholarships pay charges for a specific term. Student permissions, which are granted by the student, allow this money to pay charges incurred from other terms.

Institutions that use an automated system to manage student finances can create student permissions that are a record of standing permissions from students to apply restricted credits.

Note: If you attach student permissions to a charge priority, you can define the terms for which permission is required for application of payment.
