Student debts and pending balance

Student debt in Skolar is calculated by enrollment. The system reviews which fees belong to the school term, how much has already been paid, and which amounts are still pending.

What Skolar considers part of a student balance#

For each enrollment, Skolar reviews:

• fees associated with the school term
• the installment configuration of the enrollment
• payments already applied to each fee
• scholarship or discount percentage
• due date of every charge

With that it calculates:

• remaining amount per fee
• whether the fee is overdue
• whether the fee was paid on time

How scholarships affect the balance#

If the enrollment has a scholarship, Skolar reduces the applicable tuition fees before calculating the remaining amount. Enrollment fees do not always follow the same discount logic as monthly tuition.

Pending balance versus overdue debt#

• pending balance: there is still an amount to pay
• overdue debt: there is still an amount to pay and the due date has already passed

Recommended workflow#

1. Open the correct student.
2. Review the active enrollment and, if needed, older enrollments.
3. Identify which fees still have amount_to_pay pending.
4. Distinguish between open balance and overdue debt.
5. Refresh the balance after recent payments before confirming the final status.

Common issues#

The student still shows debt after a payment#

Review whether the payment was applied to the right fee and whether you are looking at the correct enrollment.

The total balance looks too high#

Confirm whether you are mixing fees from several enrollments or whether the scholarship was not applied as expected.
