Tuition Discount

Use the Tuition Discount page to:

  • View and post tuition discount amounts for a student's tuition charges

    Tuition discount posting can be automated or manual based on whether the Automate check box is selected when you configure the Tuition Discount policy in Anthology Student.

    • If Automate is selected, the tuition discount with a posting order is automated and calculated up to 100% of the course charge. Pending tuition discount transactions are posted to the student’s Ledger Card automatically when TUIT charges are posted.

    • If Automate is cleared, any pending tuition discount transactions are deleted when TUIT charges are posted. Tuition discounts have to be processed manually. You can specify the tuition discount posting order and calculate the discount up to 100% of the course charge. If pending charges exist for the student and pending discounts are available, the information is displayed on the Ledger Card, Ledger Card Report, Registration Bill Summary, and Registration Bill Details.
