Welcome to Tuition Management Implementation

Welcome to FACTS implementation. We’re excited to partner with you and your families. We need to set up and customize your school’s payment plan options first. Then we’ll train you on using the system for maximum benefit and give you the tools necessary for you to communicate with your families. With good communication and responsiveness between our two teams, this process should go quickly and smoothly.

Pre-Implementation Planning

Prior to your kickoff call, please think about the following items.

  • Review your school’s tuition and delinquency policies
  • What payment plan options and dates would you like to offer families (e.g. 10 monthly, quarterly, semi-annual, etc.)?
  • Who should have access to the system at your school?
  • What accounts (charges) would you like FACTS to collect (e.g. tuition, books, athletic fees, etc.)?
  • Would you like FACTS to collect a late fee on your behalf?

Kickoff Calls

To begin implementation, your representatives will schedule phone calls to review important items to initiate your school setup.

  • Kickoff call with Client Services Manager (CSM) to review Professional Services Agreement and discuss implementation process.
  • If your school is using Advanced Accounting, you’ll also need a kickoff call with your Account Operations Specialist (AOS) to review some basic accounting questions and discuss your general ledger code mapping.

Evaluation

Once your payment plan options are configured in the system, your school will need to review the payment plan sign-up process in “evaluation mode” to see what your parents see when enrolling in a payment plan.

  • Review payment plan sign-up link in evaluation mode.
  • Provide edits to your Implementation Specialist (IS).

Training

Depending on the options your school has chosen, you’ll need to complete web-based training with your IS to ensure you’re comfortable navigating the system.

  • Finalization Training
  • System Training
  • Advanced Accounting Reports Training (if applicable)
  • Incidental Billing Training (if applicable)
  • Prepay Accounts Training (if applicable)
