Items such as beverages or child care are considered to be a service and can be associated with a course for which registrations can occur and charges may be assessed. This information is useful for a course planner to track expenses and fees for a course and to perform cost analyses.
The Services tab includes information such as the costs and fees that are identified for each service. The actual Service is defined on the Service Definition window along with the Cost, Fee, and Basis.
· The Basis column appears on the Activities, Services, Resources, Marketing, Textbook Lists, and Course tabs of the Courses (Non-Traditional) window. It is used to determine the manner in which each item is calculated in the Course Budget window and is very important to the budgeting process.
· Enrollment Basis multiplies the Total Cost by the Estimated Enrollment and adds this figure to the cost for the course.
· Unit Basis will only add the Total Cost figure to the cost for the course.
The Service Types should be defined before the Services. This will allow you to choose a specific type that can be associated with a service.
