Article Summary

🔔 Important!

  • Be sure to finalize an Admission Reply Form before moving on to post-decision rules. 

  • If a change must be made to the form after your rules were built, be sure to re-test all rules based on that form because changes to the form may break existing rules.

  • Before writing your Enrollment Deposit rule, you must ensure that your Slate instance is configured to accept payments online. If you have not established your payment gateway, the payment link on the student status page will return an error message.

  • Additionally, some institutions do not require an enrollment deposit. If your institution does not collect this fee, you do not need to make this rule. 

If your institution collects an enrollment deposit, upon activation, the rule will automatically create a payment requirement for each eligible admitted applicant, which will be visible on the individual's status page. The Enrollment Deposit rule effectively manages and tracks the enrollment deposit collection process, helping to streamline institutional operations and ensure the accurate and timely collection of these critical funds.

Additionally, this rule will automatically add a new activity to the Activities table on the application tab of the person record:
