    Important Note:

    Studioware automatically determines which transactions have already been added to a student's account. Studioware will un-check all transactions that have previously been added to a students account. For example, if you accidentally apply the transactions twice in February 2011, Studioware will un-check the duplicate transactions.

  • Studioware shows you the current number of classes each student is enrolled in, the number of hours of classes, and the class list:

    Studioware Tip:

    If you set any tuition amount (or discount amount) to zero, the transaction will Not be added to the student's financial account.

  • Based on the multi-class discount rules you have defined, Studioware determines if the student qualifies for a multi-class discount.  You can always edit, create, or delete any multi-class discount suggested by Studioware simply by clicking on the Edit or Clear links:
