A short tutorial for guardians (families) on how to approve or deny tuition and fee invoices within the EMA (Step Up for Students) guardian dashboard. It explains where invoices appear, how to approve (blue check) or deny (red X) an invoice, selecting a denial reason, consequences if invoice amounts are incorrect (school must request removal and may need to withdraw/re-enroll the student), notification behavior (on-screen notifications and email), variable invoice timing by enrollment date, and support contact hours.

Welcome to Step up for Students. Today we will be discussing guardians approving or denying tuition and fees in Emma. Let's begin by logging into your EMA account. The Tuition and Fee Invoices section is now visible on the dashboard. You can accept or decline an invoice in this section by clicking on the appropriate button. If you wish to reject an invoice, simply click on the red X button. A pop up box will appear to confirm your decision and to select a reason. If you wish to deny an invoice, simply click on the red X button. A pop up box will appear to confirm your decision and to select a reason, click the arrow in the Select a Reason box. To view a dropdown of reasons, choose a reason, then click Deny Invoice what happens when a guardian rejects an invoice? Please keep in mind that schools are unable to edit or remove invoices once they have been generated. If the amount on the invoice is incorrect, the school may need to request that the invoice be removed and may also need to withdraw and re enroll your child. If the student is no longer enrolled but an invoice is generated, it is likely that the fees are still owed to the school or due to the dates of attendance. If you want to approve the invoice, please click the blue check mark. A pop up box will appear to confirm your approval. If you approve, click the Approve Invoice button. Keep an eye on the Notifications icon on the top right of your screen. New invoice alerts will be displayed here and you will receive an email as well. Please note Tuition and fee invoices will be generated at different times depending on the enrollment date.
