Automatic Fee Calculation

The fee calculation process facilitates the assessment of student tuition. To ensure that the fee calculation process runs automatically, you need to set up the academic period correctly as well as enable calculation.

To initiate fee calculation automatically, make sure that the following settings are in place:

1. Make sure that your academic reporting periods use the Auto Tuition Calculation attribute. Using this attribute indicates when tuition calculation will run for a particular academic period.
2. Enable Calculation Required.
   1. Go to the Finances work area, search for the student, then select their name.
   2. On the Account Summary page, click Actions > Maintain Student Academic Periods.
   3. Select Calculation Required for the relevant academic reporting period.

Sometimes you will find that you don't need to select the Calculation Required check box for the academic period. When the following events occur, the check box is automatically selected:

• A student enrolls in, drops, or withdraws from a course.

• A student's official residency information changes.

• A student's fee group is overridden.

Results:

A student's fees are automatically calculated when these things happen:

• A student or bursar accesses the student's account.

• A student enrolls in or drops a course in self-service.
