Bursar
The bursar’s day
A bursar opens the fee desk, receives payments and closes the day. They see fees and receipts, nothing else.
- 1
Open the fee desk
The bursar starts the day on a till. The fee counter for the site, class and period filters the records to handle today. The same till serves cash and transfers.
- 2
Record a payment
They find the student by name or number. Each fee shows what is due, what is paid and what remains. The family’s instalments and exemptions apply on their own.
- 3
Issue the receipt
The receipt is issued at validation, numbered and dated. It prints or sends to the family by email, with optional SMS.
- 4
Close the day
The cash journal counts receipts by channel. Any discrepancy with the counted cash is noted at closing, in the journal.
