How Fees Work Here

A fee is a charge on one student: a type, an amount, an academic year, a term, and a due date. To charge the same thing to more people, you create it once and then Assign it to another student or a whole class.

Parents and students pay through their own dashboards. This page is for setting the charges up and watching collection.

Fee Overview

Two cards sit above the list:

CardDescription
OutstandingTotal unpaid — pending plus overdue — and how many fees that is
OverdueTotal past its due date, and how many fees that is

The header shows the total number of fees.

Whether YeboLearn sends fee reminders is controlled by the Fee Reminders toggle under Settings → Notifications. See Settings.

Best Practices

  1. Create one, then assign - Build a fee once and push it out to the class
  2. Communicate early - Inform parents of fees before the due date
  3. Keep statuses honest - Move fees to Paid or Waived as reality changes
  4. Watch the Overdue card - It's the fastest read on collection health
  5. Report regularly - Download a fees report each month
