Student Balance Statements

You can use the Student Balance Statements page to create printable statements of financial activity sent to students every month indicating the amount they are required to pay the institution.

When statements are generated by an institution, Anthology Student first determines if there are scheduled payments for the student. If no payment schedule is found, Anthology Student reviews the Student Ledger and reports the account balance as the amount due for the statement period.

  • Credit, no statement is generated

  • Debit, the statement indicates the debit balance in the Amount Due field of the statement
