Student Filters

Understanding Payment Statuses
Understanding Tuition Payment Statuses
Payment statuses show which tuition payments have been submitted for a student.
Funding schedules vary by program. Some programs fund students quarterly, while others fund students yearly. The Payment filters and statuses in your School Portal will reflect the funding schedule for your program.
The labels you see depend on your program’s payment schedule:
Reviewing payment Amounts
Quarterly programs: You may see Q1 Paid, Q2 Paid, Q3 Paid, and Q4 Paid.
Funded families have flexibility in how and when tuition payments are submitted throughout the year. Because of this, a payment may sometimes be applied in a different quarter than originally expected.
Semester-based programs: You may see payment statuses based on the applicable semester.
For example, a family may submit both Q1 and Q2 tuition amounts during Q2. In this case, the Q1 Paid field may not reflect the total amount paid, while Q2 Paid may include the combined payments.
A payment-period status may not always show the full picture of how much tuition has been paid. Depending on the program and when payments are submitted, payments may be applied during a different payment period than expected.
When reviewing A student's balance, use the Payment Summary and Total Paid to Date in the student's payment Details rather than relying only on individual quarter labels.
When reviewing a student’s payments, use the Payment Summary and Total Paid to Date in the student’s Payment Details to confirm the total amount paid.
