back to top Fee Types and Funding Amounts
Within the Fee and Funding fields there are 5 fields that provide vital information for the Accounting Section of the System: Field Name | Brief Description |
|---|
Unit Fee | The Amount Charged for the unit of Study regardless of funding type. | Amount Received | The Total amount received from all payment methods towards this unit of study. Once all payments types have been received this amount and the unit Fee Amount should be the same, thereby paying off the unit. | Subsidy Amount* | Any discounts, Scholarships or other fee reduction amounts paid on the students behalf. | Upfront Payment* | The Amount the student has elected to pay upfront (either as pre-payment or by promised amount). | Funding Amount* | The Amount the Government is going to pay on the students behalf (excluding any loan fee amounts). |
NOTE: The HEIMS Loan fee is calculated by percentage of the Unit fee and is reporting as part of HEPCAT / TCSI reporting, this amount is not collected by the institution. *These fields [referring to the fields with * symbol in the above table] are revenue sources, the sum of these three fields should always equal to the amount received or the Unit Fee. When entering data into these fields it is important to take into account the funding type. If the Student is upfront the Funding Amount (Fee-HELP/ HECS-HELP) field must be zero. However if the Student is Fee-HELP/ HECS-HELP, the student can make a partial payment and defer the remainder to HELP.

BE ADVISED: Following the below instruction, the selected units can be transferred from one course to another one. This action can also be performed from the Course screen but will transfer all units from one course to another.

Transfer units from one course to another.
After loading the student’s record, choose the Student > Course Enrolment > Units menus on the side. It will then load a page with all the units enrolled by the student under the UNITS ENROLLED BY STUDENT Form section. Select all the units you want to transfer, by ☑ checking the checkboxes on the right, or you can ☑ the checkbox in the header column to select all the units – if you want to transfer all the units on the list. 
Scroll down, click the Select Action to perform on Units drop down list and select your preferred transfer option. See below for a brief overview of each transfer option.
A. Transfer Selected Unit to the degree – This option will copy the selected units to the new degree, where the new unit gets the status of the old unit (e.g. Completed), and the old unit gets the status of "Transferred". B. Transfer Selected units to the degree with no-fee checking – This option does the same function as the above, however, it does not check the fee rules and scheduled unit fees. C.Transfer Credit to the selected units to the degree - choose this option when you do not need to report the transferred unit enrolment to the government via TCSI. The government only wants to know the credit in the form of a credit packet reported against the course enrolment. The prior credit sub-packet will be created automatically when selecting this option on the Student TCSI Edit screen that belongs to the new course. This option will copy the selected units to the new degree (course), where the old unit remains unchanged and the new unit has the status set to "transferred credit", and all of the fee fields are set to '0.00'. After selecting your transfer option, a Course drop down list will appear below. Select the Course where you want all the units to be transferred to, and then click the SUBMIT button.
| Info |

INFO: Check the Success message (that would look like as the below screenshot) to ensure that the units have been successfully transferred to a course. |
