Profile > Campus Life

The Campus Life view lets you manage room and meal info, Campus Life fees, custom info, and violations and consequences. It preserves the historic record of these items and also lets you add and update new information.

Although we use the word student, remember that every profile in Populi has the Campus Life view. This comes in handy when you have, say, a professor visiting from overseas take up residence in school housing for a semester. Or maybe you have a hotshot donations guy who nonetheless keeps parking his Maserati in the president's parking space—and so continually racks up the parking tickets.

The Profile > Campus Life view is accessible to Financial Admin, Academic Admin, Registrar, and Campus Life users.

Room Plan History

Here you'll find a record of every room plan the student has ever had—not to mention every room you've assigned them and the corresponding room charges. You can also add a new room plan and give the student a housing assignment:

  1. Click add next to Room Plan History.
  2. Select the term.
  3. Select the room plan you wish to apply.
  4. Select the building in which you wish to place the student.
  5. Select the room; your options only include rooms which are connected to the room plan you selected earlier.
  6. If a student wants to take up more than one slot, you can indicate that by changing the capacity used. For example, a student may want a 2-person room all to herself—in that case, enter 2 next to capacity used. The total capacity used cannot exceed the available capacity.
  7. When you're done, click Save.

Now that you've added the room plan and assignment, a pending room charge is generated on the student's Financial > By Term view. You can edit that charge in either spot until it is invoiced.

  • You can also manage rooming arrangements on the room management page.

Meal Plan History
