About This Screen

The screen is divided into two blocks:

Student Course Attempt

Shows Student Course Attempts. If the screen is entered:

  • Via the Student Course Fees button in the Person block of the Person Inquiry screen, all the Course Attempts for the context student are displayed
  • Via the Student Course Fees button in the Student Course Attempt block of the Person Inquiry screen, only the Course Attempt selected in that screen is displayed here
  • Via the Course Fees button in the Student Course Attempt Inquiry screen, only the Course Attempt selected in that screen is displayed here
  • Directly from a menu, the screen fields are blank and a query must be performed in this block to retrieve the required Student Course Attempts. Note that dependent on the query criteria, Student Course Attempts can be retrieved for more than one student
  • Via the Course Fee Inquiry button in the Student Fee Calendar Inquiry screen, all the Course Attempts for the context student are displayed

A query cannot be performed in this block if the screen is entered in context from another screen. A query can be performed where the screen is entered from a menu. To perform a query here it is preferable to use a student's ID number as query criteria. An alternative is to use the Find Person button to activate the Find Person form, which can be used to locate the required student record.

Information lamps are displayed at the top of the screen where applicable. These lamps and their meaning are:

  • ENCUMBERED - displays when the student currently has an Encumbrance of any type. Administrative Encumbrances can be checked in the Maintain Basic Person Encumbrance Detail form (ENRF6310). Academic Encumbrances can be checked via the Maintain Student Progression Rule form (PRGF6600). A zoom can be created to these forms - access depends on Callista security roles.
  • DECEASED - displays where the student has been recorded as deceased.

Fee Assessment

Displays basic details of the student's Fee Assessments for the selected Course Attempt, for all Fee Periods where a Fee Assessment has been calculated.

Queries can be performed in this block, with all fields except Total Assessed Amount, Total Payments, Sponsor Amount Owing, Student Amount Owing, Loan Amount Owing, Loan Discount Available, Loan Discount Awarded and Outstanding Balance being queryable. For example, to see the Fee Assessments for the selected course for a particular financial period (say 2004 financial year), a query could be performed using the Financial Period Calendar attributes (FINANCIAL 01/01/2004 31/12/2004) as query criteria. Totals are recalculated for each column in this block.

Information lamps are displayed at the top of the block where applicable. The lamps and their meanings are:

  • MULTIPLE CURRENCIES - the student has Fee Assessment records with amounts in more than one currency. Column totals are not displayed where assessments are in more than one currency.
  • CHANGED Fee Category - displays where the Course Attempt Fee Category differs from that used when the selected assessment was made. For example, the Fee Category has been changed between the times of the selected Fee Assessment and the current inquiry.
  • STUDENT STATUS (HECS OPTION) OVERRIDE - appears when the Fee Calendar selected has had its Student Status overridden in ENRF3110.
  • FEE CAP APPLIED appears when the fee represented in the current record has CAPPING transactions that sum to greater or less than zero.

This form can be navigated to via Person Inquiry (INQF1A00), by selecting the Course Fees button in the Student Course Attempt block, or directly via the main menu.
