Fee Collection

In this section, you can configure the Fee Collection activity to collect tuition deposits via single or multi-installment payments (maximum of 10) if the applicant accepts an admission offer. Applicants can then pay the deposit via secure, PCI-compliant credit card transaction.

Payment is configured via the Applicant Gateway and is available in conjunction with TouchNet, CashNet, and PayPal. For more information, see Configuring Payments.

To configure, click the Fee Collection link on the App Gateway Editor page.

Create Introductory and Finishing Text

The text you include in the Activity Introduction displays to the applicant before they submit a fee payment.

The text you include in the Finishing Statement displays when the applicant submits a fee payment. You can use this space to explain the timeframes in which the admissions team reviews the information or any additional steps the applicant needs to complete.

See Content Formatting Tips below for additional guidance when completing this section.

  2. In the next field, enter your introduction text.
  3. Enter a header/title for the Finishing Statement.

Add Payments

  1. Enter a name for the payment, such as Tuition Deposit. The name you enter here will be used in WebAdMIT's List Manager and Export Manager, so it's important to name the field descriptively.
  2. Enter the fee amount associated with the payment. This must be entered as a whole number with no decimal points (e.g., $155, not $155.00).
  3. Select whether there is a deadline for the payment or if it can be submitted on a rolling basis.
  4. If you select Deadline, enter a deadline date or select from the calendar picker.
  5. The text above the Payment Name field automatically populates with the text that appears for the applicant; confirm that it displays correctly.
  6. Click + Payment to add more payments, as needed.
  7. Click Save.
