Student fees & payments

Once you're connected to your student, MusterSheet shows you exactly where their band account stands — every charge, every payment, every fundraising credit — and usually lets you pay online.

Check the balance

Go to My Students (from your dashboard). Each student card shows the bottom line in plain terms:

  • Owes $120.00 — there's a balance to pay.
  • Credit $35.00 — you're ahead; it applies to future charges.
  • Settled $0.00 — all square.

A Next payment due date or Past due badge appears when there's a deadline to know about.

Read the statement

Click View Statement to see the itemized history — like a bank statement for your student's band account. Each line shows the date, type, description, due date, and amount. The types you'll see:

  • Charge — a fee assessed (band fees, trip payments, uniform).
  • Payment — money you paid, by card or handed in as cash/check.
  • Fundraising credit — your student's cut of a fundraiser, applied against what you owe.
  • Adjustment, Refund, Transfer — bookkeeping corrections the treasurer has made, each with a description.

Each charge also carries a status marker — Paid, Partially paid (with how much of it is covered), Unpaid, or Past due — so you can see at a glance which installment is still open. Payments cover your oldest charges first, unless the treasurer applied a payment to a specific charge when recording it.

If something looks off, ask your treasurer — they see the same lines you do, so it's easy to talk through.

Pay online

  1. From My Students or the statement, click Pay Online.
  2. Step 1 — What to Pay: check the open charges you want to cover. You can also Add extra amount — trip money, prepaying next semester — which posts as a credit.
  3. Click Review Payment.
  4. Step 2 — Review & Confirm: you'll see your items, a small Card processing fee line, and the total. The fee covers the card processor's charge — your booster group receives the full face amount. Click Pay.
  5. You'll be taken to a secure Stripe checkout page to enter your card, then returned with "Payment received." The lines appear on your statement momentarily.

Don't see a Pay Online button?

It means your booster group hasn't set up online payments (yet). The page will say so and point you to paying by cash or check — ask your booster officers how they collect.

Getting paid back

Bought something for the boosters out of your own pocket? Go to My Reimbursements (linked from My Students), pick the Organization, enter the Amount and What was it for?, attach a photo of the Receipt, and click Submit Request. You can watch its status move from Awaiting review to Approved — payment on the way to Paid — approved requests are paid by cash or check from the treasurer.
