Mass Housing Charges
Use the Mass Housing Charges functionality to assess housing or incident
fines for a group of students based on criteria selected, such as building
and room numbers. For example, if damages were caused on the second floor
of a dormitory, fines for this damage could be applied to all students
housed on that floor at one time. This process creates a billing batch
with the appropriate charges/fines included.
To apply mass housing charges:
- To access the Mass
Housing Charges window from the CAMS Enterprise Home page click
Tools >Processes >Housing.
The Criteria tab of the Mass
Housing Charges window displays.
- Select the appropriate criteria to narrow the list
of returned matches. For example, use the Term, Building, and Rooms
fields to get a list of students housed in a certain building and
rooms if you want to charge a fine for damage done in a common area
of the building.
- Click Initiate
to get a list of all records that match the criteria selected.
- Click Export
to export the list in .txt format, or Transfer
to create a transfer batch for these charges. You may export first
and then transfer if desired.
- Clicking Transfer
displays the Batch Comment
field, required and the Effective
Transaction Date, required. Populate the required information
and then click Transfer. Upon
completion a confirmation message “Transfer successful” displays.
The transferred charges are now available in Billing
>Batch.
