School Enrollment Fees

School enrollment fees are used to automatically assess certain fees when a student enrolls in school, such as Enrollment, Uniform, etc. When creating school enrollment fees, you can indicate whether you want the fee to be proratable.

Though school enrollment fees defined at the district level might be expected to be applied to any school, they are not. Such fees remain on the Edit School page because they are associated with a selected school. Learn more from the PowerSchool Community article titled School Enrollment Fees Not Assessed When Students Are Enrolled.

When importing students, school enrollment fees are not automatically assessed. You must manually assess school enrollment fees using Fee Functions. 

Manage School Enrollment Fees

Before adding school enrollment fees, fee types must be created using the fee category of School. 

1. Navigate to the School Info page. 

2. Click the name of a school. 

3. In the School Fee Information section, for School Enrollment Fees, click New. 

4. Choose the Fee Type. Only those fee types with the fee category of School appear.

5. Choose the department with which you want to associate the fee.

6. Enter the amount of the fee to be assessed.

7. Enter the date the fee becomes applicable.

8. Select Proratable to indicate that the fee is to be assessed based on the number of school days in the year. If a student enrolls in school after the start date or withdraws from school before the end date, the student will only be charged for that portion of the school year.

9. Click Submit.

To edit a School Enrollment Fee, select the fee type you want to update, edit the information as needed, and click Submit.
