One-time charges & deposits

Beyond recurring tuition, you can bill a one-off amount anytime.

Add a one-time charge

1. Open the child's account in Billing and choose Add One-Time Charge.
2. Enter the amount and a description (e.g., "Field trip" or "Late pickup").
3. Pick how to collect:
   • Charge saved method now — runs against the family's saved payment method immediately.
   • Email payment request — sends the family a secure link to pay. Works even if they have no method on file yet, which is perfect for registration fees and deposits.

Deposits at sign-up

Add a registration fee or deposit to a tuition plan, and it's collected up front as part of the family's first payment when they set up tuition (the deposit is credited toward future tuition).

Fees

One-time charges use the same processing + small platform fee as tuition — see Tuition & autopay.
