Tuition fees in education are usually paid in many ways, one of those ways is in instalments. Instalments are the periods of time within which the client will get invoiced and pay, e.g., one time per Year, each semester, every month etc. In Classter educational institutions can create predefined arrangement plans with instalments and add them to the respective Student’s arrangement plan.
