Calculation Type

Assumptions - School's Calculation Type

Factor Description Entity Notes
School Fee Calculation Type States whether fee escalation and automated progression are to be applied for the school. School; values for other Schools in the same College may also be set on the same form.

Normally Stage 1 of the planning process uses manual entry (seeded as per Census) and no fee rate escalation. The objective of this phase is to ensure that the current census can be accurately re-created in the planning system, with bottom-up calculations. When this is verified, it indicates that all necessary factors have been loaded for the existing registrations.

Stage 2 of the planning process then can apply fee rate escalation and automated progression of students through stages for particular majors.

Leaving the value as (Default) will enable the movement from Stage 1 to Stage 2 to be centrally handled.
