How are student finances administered?

Administering the payment of fees by students first requires managing the payment procedures students are required to use, which might be by check, credit card, or direct debit from a bank account.

Other administrative procedures are needed when the institution's policies allow students to pay in installments or allow payment by third parties, such as employers. Procedures may also be needed to provide for relief from payment for students who are on scholarships or who are exempted by certain policies from paying all or part of the fees.
