About The Information In This Screen

The screen is divided into two blocks:

• Fee Assessment - shows the context fee assessment for which transactions are displayed in the Fee Statement block.

This screen can only be entered in context from either the Student Course Fee Inquiry screen or the Student Fee Calendar Inquiry screen. Queries cannot be performed in this block. To retrieve fee transaction details for other student fee assessments, return to the previous screen (by clicking on the Exit button ) and select another fee assessment record or perform a new query there.

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 Transaction Detail - displays details of all fee transactions for the context fee assessment. A summary of fee transactions for a fee assessment can be viewed in the Student Course Fee Statement screen.

• Return to the previous screen - by clicking on the Exit button .
• End your inquiry session - by selecting Exit Forms from the Action menu.
