The Student Accounts page lets you access and manage various details related to student account balances and transactions.
To access the Student Accounts page, you must be in the default Receivables Management role (or a copy of it) with "Can view student accounts" permission. Additional permissions are required to view and work with different information associated with student accounts, including payment plans, student subsidiaries, and deposits. For additional information about permissions for student accounts, see Receivables Management Permissions.

Some student account information is managed on the student information details page. Access to student information details is granted in the Student module Registrars and Registration Module Manager roles. For additional information, see Roles and Permissions to Work with Student Accounts.
The Student Filter has three sections to group student information. Use the Expand icon to view filter options in each section.
Student Name & Balance. Use these filter options to find students by name, ID number, or those with an account balance within a certain range.
Note
The Calculate options button lets you set criteria for how student balances are calculated and updates the Balance column accordingly. When new options are selected and applied, the list of students selected by the Balance filter may change based on the new calculations for the displayed balance.
Student Account Activity. Use these filter options to find students based on specific details about their account activity, like 1098-T details, billing period, and transactions.
Student Related Filters. Use these filter options to find students based on details like add/drop date, holds/warnings, and payment plans.
By default, the Balance column displays the total activity for each student regardless of transaction status. Use the Calculate options button to update the displayed balance based on selected criteria. You can reset the options to show the total balance at any time.
You can select one or more options for the fields below to calculate student balances and update the Balance column of the Student List.

Billing Period
Subsidiary Code
Subsidiary Group Code

Tip
The Calculate Balances block only updates the "Balance" column on the Student Accounts page. When it's used with the Balance filter, you can select students that have a balance within a certain range and apply actions to just those students (e.g., add holds to students with an outstanding balance for the fall term).

You can view additional details about holds/warnings and subsidiary codes for students by clicking the button in the appropriate column. The pop-ups let you view and add comments about holds/warnings or subsidiaries. You can also open the student account details page from the AR subsidiary code pop-up.
Each student row has an Options button with different drop-down actions. Depending on your permissions, you may see some or all of these options.
Note
Permission to view certain options may be granted in other module hubs. For example, permission to view and work with the Student Information Details page is granted via the Registrars role (and copies of it), and access to the Person Information Details page is granted via the Person Management role (and copies of it).
You can select one or many students to activate the More drop-down. Depending on your permissions, you may see some or all of these options.
