Steps: Set Up Student Charges

Steps: Set Up Student Charges

You can set up student charges to calculate how much students owe for the various goods and services that your institution provides. Workday enables you to configure:
  • Charge assessment rules.
  • Charge due dates.
  • Student charge details.
Once student charges post, accounting posts for the transactions and students can make payments toward their charges.
  1. Specify how to prorate refundable student charges when students drop or withdraw.
  2. (Optional) Create calculations that evaluate student eligibility for charge items.
  3. Create student charge items.
  4. Set up course fees.
  5. Access the
    Maintain Student Financials Reaction Policy
    task.
    Reaction policies identify students for charge reassessments, when you base custom charge calculations on:
    • Athletic teams
    • Student cohorts
    • Custom objects
    Security:
    Set Up: Student Charges
    domain in the Student Financials functional area.
  6. Define the time frame when students can have charges assessed or updated daily for an academic period, during the Nightly Job Orchestration background process.
  7. Configure whether to hide or display financial information, such as pending charges.
  8. (Optional) Access the
    Maintain Current Due Window Configuration
    task.
    Change the window of time that your institution considers a charge Current Due. Workday uses a Current Due window of 30 days unless otherwise specified. When you change the Current Due window, Workday updates the
    Current Due Charges
    definition on the
    Due Now Details
    tab of the
    View Student Account Activity
    report.
    Security:
    • Manage: Student Financial Accounts
      domain in the Student Financials functional area.
    • Set Up: Student Collections
      domain in the Student Financials functional area.
Now you can create payment precedence rules that specify how to apply payments to student charges.
