Understanding Transactions

Transaction types and what they mean

When viewing a student's billing account, you may see the following transaction types: Under Process, Complete or Canceled. This article will define those process types and statuses.

Navigate to Billing > Accounting and click a student's name to view their billing history. Billing details will display with the newest at the time and include the following information: Transaction Date and Time, Transaction Type, Description, Status, Invoice/Payment Amount and Account Balance.
