Assign a Family Discount (Billing Info tab)

Share

When you use Post Tuition Fees (from the Transactions menu), you can have a Family Discount applied to the tuition fees. This is often used for volunteers, staff, etc. that are given a discount over and above any multi-class or multi-student discounts that you offer. 

The Family Discount, which can be a dollar amount or a percentage, is applied to the tuition amount after your other discounts have been calculated and applied.

Important to Note

• Family Discounts are not deducted from Family Fixed Fees.
• Family Discounts are deducted from Student Fixed Fees. The discount is posted after all Student Fixed Fees are entered. Example: A family has two students and both students have a Fixed Fee of $100. The Family Discount is $10.00. Both Student Fixed Fees are posted at $100 each. The discount of $10 is subtracted from the total ($100 + $100 -$10=$190).
• Family Discounts are only applied when using Post Tuition Fees from the Transactions menu. Parent Portal enrollments and enrollments done from within Jackrabbit do not include the Family Discount.
• You can set the Family Discount to expire on a specified date. After an expiration date has passed, the discount will be ignored when posting tuition fees.
