We know that those who stay with the startup process for a good 45 days will generally be so comfortable and happy with ClassJuggler that they stay and thrive. So, we want to do all we can to make this early stage a successful transition for our newbies!

Here's how you can help. Please take this short survey (about 2 minutes to complete — 6 questions) and share with us your thoughts/opinions regarding your initial experience with ClassJuggler.

Have Happier Holidays with Prorated Billing

As you probably already know, using ClassJuggler's prorated billing features, which you can set up at the time of enrollment, works with all tuition types: monthly, per class, and total. This is particularly useful for ongoing per-class-based pricing. But here's what you might not know; prorated billing can also help you gracefully handle the "closed for the holiday" days on your calendar.

To handle prorated fees, use this optional feature (see the checkmark below) when running your Post Tuition billing cycle step:

Additionally, any time ClassJuggler prorates tuition for per class or monthly-based tuition, it adds a secondary description to the transaction explaining "how" it calculated any prorated discounts. This is especially useful when you need to determine why a certain amount was posted for a particular family.

Some tips on using prorated tuition:

• Make sure you check the checkbox for "Skip 'closed' calendar event dates" for classes you want tuition to be prorated (per class or monthly). You'll see this checkbox in Step #2: Class Schedule. If you don't set this, ClassJuggler will assume you wish to exclude this class from prorated fees.
• Note that per-class tuition always prorates based on class occurrences per month. Per-class tuition also supports closed calendar dates by default.
• Monthly based tuition allows for prorated class fees for closed calendar dates only when the checkbox is set on the Post Tuition billing cycle screen.

If this is your first holiday season, and any of these steps are not clear to you, please contact us and we can go through it step-by-step with you over the phone.

UDMA – That's a Wrap!

In October, ClassJuggler's Jon and Alexia flew out to the East Coast to represent ClassJuggler at United Dance Merchants of America (UDMA). This dance resource and costume show was a great opportunity for us to introduce ClassJuggler to dance studio owners, sign up a few of them as new customers, and meet some of our current clients.
