■ UNDERSTANDING TUITION CODES
Tuition codes determine how your Clients will be billed. ProSchool allows a great deal of
flexibility with respect to the variety of rate schedules and discounts that can be configured.
First, however, you must understand how the Program defines and uses these differing codes
for tuitions and tuition discounts.
There are two components to the configuration of tuitions:
· the rate you charge for a given class, and;
· the basis on which it is computed.
Both are completely up to you. The rate is whatever you feel appropriate, and the basis can be
any one of the following:
· monthly;
· weekly;
· by the session (a “session” being several hours, classes, weeks... it’s up to you);
· by the hour (regardless of class type, level or number of classes enrolled in);
· by the Student (charged on a per- or by-Student basis regardless of the number of classes
taken).
In ProSchool, this combination is referred to as the tuition code. Think of it this way:
[rate] x [basis] = tuition code
Every class offered by your school is assigned a tuition code by you when you build your
classes in the Class Information section (discussed in a later section entitled (“Setting Up
Your School’s Classes”). For example, your tuition codes could be configured to:
· charge the same tuition rate for all classes on a weekly basis;
· charge differing tuition rates for different classes on a monthly basis;
· charge on a per-Student basis, using differing rates based on the level of class difficulty;
· charge tuitions based on numerous variations of the above three examples.
ProSchool lets you customize the way you charge for classes in an almost infinite variety of
ways. As with other aspects of the Program, you can start simply with one or just a handful of
tuition codes, then develop additional ones later as your needs dictate.
Furthermore, all five of the above tuition code schemes can be configured to charge at a
“level” rate—that is, no discount (the simplest tuition rate scheme). Or, you can configure any
number of discount schemes to be factored into your various tuition codes (discussed next).
