Blackbaud Tuition Management empowers private and independent schools by consolidating billing and payments into a subsidiary ledger for the business office while giving families a variety of ways to pay tuition and fees in a secure, compliant, mobile-friendly environment. It enables the school to set up automated alerts, take payments securely, and include optional “shopping cart” items in the same place where families go to pay their bills.

Here are our top 5 favorite uses for the shopping cart feature in Blackbaud Tuition Management:

• Yearbooks

• Athletic fees when it’s pay-to-play

• Prom, school play, or other event tickets

• AP test fees or class dues when these are optional

• School sweatshirts, water bottles, notebooks, and other branded swag

Having these optional shopping cart items in the same portal where families pay tuition and fees not only ensures timely payment, but can also drive attendance and participation in the events and programs your school highlights.

Feature Highlight: The Fees Report

Admins can schedule automated reports to go to the appropriate stakeholders. For example, once the fee collection period has ended, the system could send the yearbook coordinator a report that tells them how many have been ordered and who should receive the yearbooks when they arrive.

Your entire school—connected.

When your tuition management system is part of Blackbaud’s Total School Solution, families can pay bills and purchase shopping cart items using the same secure login they use to check grades, schedules, and assignments, make donations, and communicate with teachers and staff.

A connected solution also means each school faculty and staff member has one login for all the tools they need. From admissions and enrollment to learning management, the business office, and fundraising, our unified platform provides a consistent user experience with all the information in one centralized location.
