Manage Sponsorship Credits

A sponsorship credit is one of the items that make up a sponsorship. You need to create this credit before you can create a sponsorship agreement.

1. To create a sponsorship credit, from Student Central search for Student Credits.
2. Click Create Credit.

   Note that while the credit is created, it's not automatically active. You'll have to activate it later.

3. Fill out the required fields. Some of the fields are similar to the fields that you fill out for other types of student credit.

   Here are fields specific to a sponsorship credit:

   • When you select Bill Sponsor, Academic Institution is enabled.

     Selecting this option automatically posts students' fees to the sponsor's account.

   • Student Resource Information is reserved for future use.

   • Select the Academic Institution that should be charged with the sponsorship fee.
4. Click Next. The credit is automatically saved.
5. From the Academic Period tab, click Add Academic Period to select the academic period the sponsorship credit is applicable to.

   Make sure to add the academic period that's also used in the sponsorship fee.

   • In Transaction Type, select the type of transaction that Student Management can use to identify the fee when it's charged for the academic period.
   • In Receivables Activity, select the transaction distribution account that you want to use for the expense or revenue generated by the adjustment.
6. After adding academic periods, you can add curriculum. From the Curriculum tab, select an academic period. You can begin adding courses you want to sponsor.
   1. Click Add Curriculum.
   2. Follow the task wizard to add courses and complete the task.
7. Make sure you set the credit to Active so that you can use it.
8. Save your changes.

When you save a credit, a Copy button appears. This makes it easy to copy academic periods and curriculum from an existing credit.
