Student Exit + Fees

Student cancellation without fee and refund cleanup chaos

When a student leaves, the school does not just mark one record as cancelled. The admin team has to capture the cancellation reason, collect the letter, close the right academic-year enrollment, cancel pending fee records where needed, calculate deposits, and initiate refunds without confusing parents or accounts.

Unity treats student cancellation as a linked operational workflow. The student exit flow can capture cancellation type and cancellation letter, use the correct academic-year context, update related student records, and connect the exit with fee cancellation or refund processing.

This matters because cancellation is where school data often becomes messy. If fees remain open after a student leaves, parents receive wrong reminders. If deposits are not calculated cleanly, accounts has to reconcile manually. If the cancellation letter is not attached to the workflow, staff later has to search through email or paper files.
