Blackbaud Parent Resources

Changing / Managing billing information
When you sign your contract, you will be prompted to enter you billing information. This will be used to charge your deposit as well as your tuition payment (please see FAQs above for tuition payment options and schedule). When you sign your contract, an account will be created in our new billing portal - Tuition Management (also under the Blackbaud platform).
If you are happy with the payment schedule and billing info you provided in the contract, you will not need to login to Tuition Management. However, if you need to make a payment a manual payment, or update your billing info, you will do so in this portal.
To make this easier, we have setup SSO (single sign on) for Tuition Management.
Login to your normal parent portal where you first accessed your contract: MySchoolApp
From here, click on “Resources” and then “Tuition Management Access”
3. Next, you will be prompted to enter login credentials. Enter the same login that you used for the MySchoolApp. You will only have to do this once.
4. Once you are in Tuition Management, you can change your billing information under “My profile” —> “Payment information” —> “Update account”
How can I download a tuition statement?
If you have never logged into your Tuition Management account, follow these steps to connect your Blackbaud account:
Login to your normal parent portal where you first accessed your contract: MySchoolApp
From here, click on “Resources” and then “Tuition Management Access”
3. Once you’re logged into Tuition Management, select “Family Tuition Statement” to download your statement.
