The Adjustment Calendar assigns a refund value (via percentage) to the student account. This calendar governs how ctcLink adjusts term and class level fees when a student withdraws or drops a class. Always discuss any adjustment to this calendar with the enrollment/registration staff.
ctcLink uses the number of days that a term or class has been in session or the class attendance percentage to determine the percentage of refund due.
Note: It is required to copy one at a time.
Note: The start of the term is considered day 0 (zero) based on your Academic Calendar which is located on your Term/Session Table.
You will need to roll over all calendars being utilized by your institution.

The Billing and Due calendar assigns a due date for charges associated with tuition calculation. These calendars help to determine the amount of fees due to be paid by a particular time. Because a due date calendar is required for the setup of fees, you must define at least one billing and due date calendar for your institution. You can also define additional billing and due date calendars as needed to meet the requirements of your business processes.
Note: Copy one by one if you have multiple Billing and Due Calendars.
The Billing and Due Calendars must be adjusted before Enrollment/Tuition Calculation occurs for the updates to accurately reflect on student accounts.
The due date is locked-in once tuition and fees have been calculated using a Billing and Due Date Calendar setup. The initial due date doesn't change even when you modify the setup then recalculate tuition.
Note: The start of the term is considered day 0 (zero) based on your Academic Calendar which is located on your Term/Session Table.
Note: Utilizing "999" is 2.74 years. If Tuition Calculation is ran on a student in a prior term, a Tuition Calculation Error may occur. To eliminate this issue, utilize "9999" instead.

Below Video Tutorial: to read the 2 lines listed in the Due Date details section says...
- "Students that register prior to the 3rd day before the term starts must pay tuition by the 3rd day before the Term Start Date." This is configured via the Pivot Date and Due Date Calc field. These fields are tied by populating Days from Pivot Date in the Due Date Calc field. The Pivot Date is the Term Start Date.
- For this top line, -9,999 days before and all the way to 3 days before the term start date, that registration is due on the 3rd day before the start date (the "-3 Days" field is indicative of this.)
- "Students that register after 2 days prior to the start (and thereafter) of the term have 1 day to pay tuition." This is configured via the Pivot Date and Due Date Calc field. These field are tied by populating Days from Run Date in the Due Date Calc FIeld. The Run Date is when the student registers.
- The first two fields on the left side take into account when the student registers - read the line as 2days before and 9999 after the term start date; if a registration is assessed, then that student has 1 day to pay (the "1 Days" field is indicative of this).

Term fee codes are the most generalized method of establishing rates for tuition and fees.
Navigation: Set Up SACR > Product Related > Student Financials > Tuition and Fees > Term Fees
Each term fee code comprises one or more term fee definitions.
Each term fee definition comprises one or more term sub fee codes and each term sub fee code comprises one or more term sub fees.
This multilevel structure provides flexibility and convenience. After you define your term fees for one term, you can copy those same fees forward to subsequent terms. This enables you to set term fees at the start of each term; you do not have to redefine your term fee schedule with each new term, which reduces data entry time.
The Term Fees can be copied forward to the next quarter before updating the tuition charge amount. This can make for less data entry.
Note: Make sure to select Copy All Term Fees from the Copy Options drop-down.
Navigation: Set Up SACR > Product Related > Student Financials > Tuition and Fees > Copy Term Fees

- NOTE: It is important to note that Run Control IDs cannot be deleted. Do not include spaces in your Run Control. We encourage the Run Control ID to have the same process naming convention but unique to the step; because of this, including your institution code and a short process description in the Run Control ID is recommended--e.g., WA010_RUN_CRED_HIST_AR (Peninsula, Run Credit History, User Initials).
