What you will get

Knowing exactly what is already done after saving — and stopping the search for buttons that do what the system has done.

The four things

1. The enrolment number. Generated on the spot, with the prefix the school set in Settings. It is how the enrolment is found later.

2. The contract, if you picked a template. The template's text is filled in with that student's details and stored as the enrolment's own copy. Editing the template afterwards does not change that document.

3. The whole payment book. Every instalment at once, with amounts and due dates calculated. If the plan has an enrolment fee, it becomes a separate charge falling due today.

4. The notices. The student gets an email as the case requires — the active enrolment one, the contract-to-sign one.

What does not happen automatically

The negative list is worth having, because it saves waiting:

  • The charge is not issued on the spot for bank slips and PIX. The instalments exist; the slip goes out through the daily routine, at the configured lead time, or by hand.
  • The student is not added to the cohort's list. The chosen cohort is recorded on the enrolment, but the list on the cohort's screen is a separate thing.
  • The enrolment does not turn active by itself. It becomes active when the first payment is recognised.

The exception is the credit card: there the payment link is generated right away, along with the enrolment.

Newly created enrolment screen, with the instalment panel built All of this appeared on its own: the number, the amount, the instalment panel with dates. A dash in the COBRANÇA — charge — column means the slip has not been issued yet, and that is normal.

Where the due dates come from

The day of the month comes from the plan. Which month it starts in depends, in this order:

  1. The billing start date, if you filled it in.
  2. The cohort's start date, if it falls after today.
  3. Today.

That is why enrolling in August for a cohort starting in February already puts the first instalment in February.

How you know it worked

The enrolment screen opens with the number at the top, the MATRÍCULA panel filled in and the PARCELAS table with the right number of rows. If you picked a contract template, the status at the top is Awaiting contract.

If something goes wrong

The instalment panel came out with a single row. The payment method is card. On card the system creates one charge for the full amount; the student's bill does the splitting.

No bank slip was issued. That is expected. They go out through the daily routine, at the lead time set in Settings.

The student received no email at all. Check whether they have an email on file and portal access.

The enrolment fee did not appear. Either the plan has no fee, or the field was zeroed in step 5.
