A fee is a charge that is applied to a person. Typically they are used to track financial obligations that are not tuition. They can be associated with relevant schools, departments, subjects, courses, sessions, and people.
For example, schools may assign fees for course-related costs such as lab materials, art supplies, or technology usage. They might also charge for participation in programs and activities like athletics, band, or clubs. They also may track administrative costs like registration, parking permits, or replacement ID cards as fees.
Not every system will have fees, but for those that do, the model below provides a standardized way to access and manage this data.
