# Collecting Partial Payments

To collect **Partial Payments** from students who want to pay parts of their **Enrollment Fee/Invoice** instead of the entire amount at one time.

**Example:** A student has a course that runs for 1 year and the Enrollment Fee is $1200 USD.  The student wants to pay 3 times during the year instead of the whole amount.  Each Partial Payment will be collected until the last payment is made, in which case the Pending Invoice will automatically be moved to Paid Invoice.

**STEP 1:** Go to **Pending Invoices** and click on the **Partial Payment** link.

**STEP 3:** Enter the payment type.

**STEP 4:** Enter any comments that you may have and then click the **Add Partial Payment** button.

**STEP 5:** Go back to **Pending Invoices** and you will see that the **Partial Payment** was added and it will reflect how much the student has paid and how much is outstanding.
