Planning Refunds

You can generate refunds for students who drop classes or stop attending your organization. There are four methods of setting up refunds:

·       Refunds Using the Copy Charge Definition & Details to the Refund Definition & Details Method.

·       Refunds Using the "*ALL" Constant.

·       Refunds Using the Number of Days (*DAYS) Calculation.

·       Refunds Using the Percent of Days (%DAYS) Calculation.

One way is how far through the term the students were at the point they dropped.  

One method is based on how far through the term the students were when they dropped. Your organization may have a policy that if a class is dropped within the first 10 days, students will receive 100% of their fee. From 11 to 20 days, they will receive 80% of their fee; after 20 days, there is no refund.

In order for a refund to be made, each fee code for which you want to generate refunds needs a corresponding Refunds Definition table row and at least one Refund Detail table row.  For example, if you have a fee code of TU on the Charges Detail table, you also need a fee code of TU on the Refunds Detail table. If there is no Refunds Detail row for the charge, a refund will not be made.

The Refunds Detail table must be completely set up before you automatically generate charges.
