Discounts and removed fees

Every family is different. From a student's invoice (Invoices / Fees Payment), you can adjust their bill without losing sight of the original charges.

A discount on one fee

On the student's invoice, apply a discount to a single fee line. To undo it, choose Remove discount. The full amount falls due again.

A discount on the whole invoice

Choose Apply discount to invoice to spread a discount across the outstanding fees. Academium shows the balance first. The discount is shared out in the same way as a part payment.

Discounts can also come from scholarships.

Removing a fee from one student

Remove a fee line that does not apply to a particular child, for example textbooks they already have. It moves to the Removed fees tab, where you can restore it.

To take a student off transport or hostel for the term, unassign it from the invoice. You cannot unassign one that has been paid.

Writing off fees

When a student leaves, their unpaid fees are written off. See When a student leaves. If your school uses approval rules, write-offs wait for approval.

Reports

The fee adjustments report lists discounts, scholarships and write-offs. See Fee reports.
