Overview
Use this page to create student charge documentation for accounting. You should have already set up an event using the "Manage my calendar items" link in the sidebar.

Step 1
Verify that the list of students you wish to charge is correct.

Step 2
Fill out the charge details, including the date (of the charge, not the current date), description, GL#, and amount. Click Create File to download a spreadsheet file with the information you have requested.

Step 3
The spreadsheet is now on your workstation computer in CSV format (Comma-Separated Values) - it will be called StudentCharges.csv. If a file with that name already exists, the new file will be incremented with a (1), (2), ... (10) etc.
Accounting deals primarily with Excel files, so you will need to convert the CSV. Either double-click on the CSV file or right-click on it and select Open.
The file should open in your speadsheet client. In the File menu click Save As, then select Excel Workbook (*.xls). Email the resulting file (StudentCharges.xls) to the accounting department.
