International Currency Questions
A set of questions related to international income have been added to the application under Section 6: Basic Tax Information. These questions will appear if the Country listed for the primary parent/guardian is not “United States”. These include:
- Clear language about expected responses to these questions.
- A stock list of common international currencies, based on our most-represented international applicants.
- An “Other” option to be used in the case a family’s standard unit of currency does not appear on the stock list.
- A clear question about which exchange rate is being used to convert to USD. This is important because exchange rates generally change daily.

Ravenna Admit
✨Ravenna December 2025 W1 Release
Ravenna Admit - Event Management
Inactive User Cleanup:
Inactive user accounts will no longer appear in dropdown menus for Event Contacts or Interviewers. This ensures that only active users can be selected for event roles, preventing confusion when scheduling events.Accurate Attendee Counts:
Fixed an issue that occasionally caused the attendee count to be off by one in event rosters. The attendee totals on event pages now correctly reflect the actual number of attendees (no more phantom entries).Ravenna Admit - Reporting
Minor Fixes in Reports:
Addressed a couple of minor issues in the Reports section. For example, the “Reset Filters” button now works reliably without jumping to a different report, and the “Export List” button displays with proper styling.Family Portal (Ravenna Hub)
- Recent Improvements (Already Live): Delegate Form Resend Disabled:
Once a delegated form has been submitted by a delegate, the “Resend” button is now disabled for the parent. This change (already live) prevents parents from unintentionally sending duplicate requests for forms that have been completed, reducing confusion and support inquiries. Event Registration Stability:
A fix has been applied to resolve an error that could occur during event sign-up. Families should no longer encounter a 500 error when registering for an event on Ravenna Hub (this fix was deployed prior to the upcoming release).new
Campus Pay
Campus Pay Release :26th November,2025
Campus Pay has rolled out two major updates that directly address administrative flexibility and branding needs:
Department Management Made Easy
What’s New
School Admins can now add, edit, enable/disable, and delete departments directly from the Campus Pay admin interface—no code changes required
How It Works:
1.On the Campus Pay Admin Homepage, a new “Departments” menu is available for School admins

2.From the Departments List page Click ‘New Department’ button to create a department and Use Toggle, Edit, and Delete options to manage existing departments.

3.Enabled departments automatically appear in the Forms Settings drop down, making assignment seamless.

2. Standard Theme Enhancements
What’s New:
Admins can now upload school logos, choose background and button colors, and apply changes instantly—no coding required. That will create consistent, branded experience for schools and payers.
How It Works:
a. Clicking on the Create Standard Theme button, admins can view additional customization options on the Standard Themes page

2.Options include logo height adjustment, alignment (left, right, or center), and clickable logo URLs.

GL Account Setup Tracking | Defects and Maintenance
GL Account Setup Tracking
Schools can now quickly check charge and credit item GL settings, making it simple to identify whether items are mapped to a General Ledger account.
- This update impacts schools using the TADS-QuickBooks Online integration, as well as those who make manual journal entries with our General Ledger Activity Report.
- We added a column on the Billing > Items page to show the current GL Account that each charge and credit is mapped to.
- If an item is not currently mapped, this will be indicated on the page as "Map to GL". A hyperlink will be provided to the applicable page where this can be corrected.
- This change should make it easier for admins to identify unmapped charges, as well as quickly review their mapping for all charges or all credits.
Charge examples with mapped and unmapped items:

Credit examples with mapped and unmapped items:

If your school is interested in using the QuickBooks integration or General Ledger Activity Report, let us know. We can provide more details on how it can be setup for you.
Defects and Maintenance
- Resolved a display issue that prevented school name, location, and TADS ID from appearing for some school administrators.
- Fixed an issue that was preventing some users from using Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) when logging into their account.
- Updated physical address in several locations that still referenced an old mailing address.
Bulk Updates on the Applicants Page are Here!
We have added the ability to update multiple applicant records in the following ways:
- Lock Applications: Locks all selected applications, preventing any edits the family makes to their application to not over-write any School Revisions made to the Family Contribution Worksheet (FCW).
- Unlock Applications: Unlocks all selected applications, allowing any edits the family makes to their application to over-write any School Revisions made to the Family Contribution Worksheet (FCW).
- Update Enrollment Status: Changes the Admission/Enrollment Status for all selected applicants.
- Update Folder Status: Changes the Folder Status for all selected applicants.
- Set Status to “Documents Completed”: Sets the Document Status of selected Student Folders to “Documents Completed”. (Mass overrides Document Status).
- Revert Document Status: Reverts the Document Status of selected Student Folders to align with family-submitted document requirements.

We have also passed these bulk updates to the
Advanced Lists
page (NAIS only).Additions to "Require More Documents" List
Several new options have been added to the list of documents you can require on an individual Student Folder basis. These additional document requirements can be found on the
Documents
page of any Student Folder, and they include:- 1041
- International Student Financial Aid Profile
- Verification of Non-Filing (4506-T)
- Several common UK-specific forms

Reports Navigation Made Easier
A "Return to Dashboard" and "Return to Reports Home" button have been added to the
General Reports
pages to facilitate easier navigation, especially when working with multiple reports. 

Easy access to Award Letters
For any Mass Email sent as an Award Letter, the
Mass Email Summary
sub-section of the Student Folder Summary
page will feature a new Award Letter (award ribbon) icon, and any labeled emails can now be either (1) downloaded (printed) as a PDF copy for your records OR (2) re-sent to only that family, specific to that applicant. Any Award Letter copy, whether downloaded or re-sent will also feature any applicant-specific information, such as: Name, Grant Awarded, and PFS ID. This saves time finding the correct version for a specific applicant:

Global USE button on the NAIS Methodology Family Contribution Worksheet (FCW)
This new button will allow admins to copy ALL verified figures from a given Tax Year.

NOTE
: Because the Business Section has a high variability of scenarios (single-business vs. multi-business, for example), this global USE
button will not copy any figures found in there. Instead, we encourage admins to confirm and update each business via Business Worksheets
(we have added a reminder to the pop-up that appears to allow confirmation to save new revisions.
Navigation Updates | Defects and Maintenance
Parent/Guardian Navigation Updates
We’ve updated the side bar navigation and home page navigation tiles for parent/guardian users to hide items that are not relevant to that user. For example, if a user does not have any current or past Required Documents, they will not see a Required Documents tab on the left side bar or a Required Documents tile on their Home page.
No pages have had permissions changes, so users are still able to directly access module home pages via URL/bookmark. The main goal is to reduce confusion for new users, or users at schools that only use one or two TADS modules, and to keep their experience more clear and focused.
New view:

Previous view:

Key details to note:
- Financial Aid will always have a tile on the home page to start an application, because Financial Aid applications can be started for new schools at any time without requiring a setup code to access it.
- Admissions will have a broader definition of ‘relevant’ for the user than other modules. Even if the user does not currently have an admissions application, they will still see the Admissions tab if they have any associations to a school (e.g., a previous or pending student enrollment) that has any year currently accepting admissions applications in TADS. This is to ensure that the user can easily apply for new siblings / additional students at their existing schools.
- Billing will always present the user with an option on their Home page to add a new billing account. This is to ensure that additional household members or 3rd party payers who may have received a setup code from the current account holder can still add the account to make payments. As an example, if both parents have separate logins, one may need to add the billing account after the other creates it. The process to add an account is unchanged, so they will need to get the account’s setup code from the school or from the existing account holder.
- Billing side bar navigation will only appear if the user has an existing TADS billing account.
- TADS Enrollment, Agreements, Required Documents, and Required Forms will only appear if the user has existing forms/documents within each of these modules.
Defects and Maintenance:
- Fixed an issue that caused incorrect date sorting on the Mass Processing batch history reports.
- Fixed an issue that caused Enrollment > Students list to not show any students for District Owner entities following the Enrollment Custom Contracts release.
- Updated the Create Account page to show the school logo when a parent uses a setup code to create a new user account. This should apply to ALL parent/guardian accounts created for Admissions, Enrollment, and Tuition Management. Financial Aid allows creating a login without a setup code, so in these cases the user will still see the TADS logo on the Create Account page, instead of a school logo. If the setup code being used to create the account is for a school that does not have a logo saved in TADS, then the user will continue to see the TADS logo on this page.
- Updated Financial Aid Applications in Progress Sheet and PAF6 for the 2026-27 school year.

Sign in with Google
You’ll now see a
“Sign in with Google”
button on the Educate login screen.- Choose from already signed-in Google accounts or use another account.
- Designed in line with updated UX standards.

🔹
Link Your Google Account
After signing in with Google, you can link your account to your Educate login:
- If MFA (Multi-Factor Authentication) is enabled in Google account, you will be asked to authenticate.
- Enter your Educate credentials in the login screen.
- Once linked, future logins via Google SSO will bypass Educate credentials.
- Multiple Google accounts can link to one Educate login.
- Each Google account can only be linked to one Educate user.

🌟
Enhanced Attendance by Group Report:
We’ve made several improvements to the Attendance by Group Report to help schools better manage and export attendance data for programmes such as Before/After Care, sports, and clubs.
Improved Data Accuracy & Exportability
- Student ID and TADS Suite ID are now included, making it easier to reconcile records and support mass billing workflows via TADS.
- Attendance Date is clearly shown, helping track when students were present for specific programmes.
Better Reporting for Operational Needs
- Minutes attended are now included in Excel exports, supporting more precise reporting for staffing, compliance, and state submissions.
- Auto filter out students without attendance data keeps reports lean and focused.
Cleaner, Smarter Reports
- Enhanced logic prevents duplicate or repetitive entries, especially when filtering by date range.
- Reports now reflect only relevant student data, improving clarity and usability.
🌟
Maintenance and Bug Fixes:
- ✅ You can now remove students from WiseData sync if they were added by mistake or due to changes in program participation.
- 👨👩👧👦 Parents with multiple children can accurately view and print each child’s class schedule.

- 📅 The date format in the POS report titled "item count" now correctly displays as mm/dd/yyyy.

- 📢 Teachers can now edit the "link" and "image upload" tools in announcements.

- 💳 On the POS setup page, the "test" field within payment gateway is now editable by support—preventing sample data from appearing in live reports.
The following improvements were released to the Family Portal today, October 29, 2025:
- Because not all applicants for financial aid have a Social Security Number (SSN), we have added a checkbox to either show or hide the question asking for the Last 4 digits of the SSN. By default, the box is checked, but can be unchecked in cases where the applicant does not have an SSN, such as for international students.

- We used to have several informational pages before each section of the application, specifically designed to give families lists of documents to reference, as well as basic tips for completing the upcoming set of questions. Because our overall goal is to accelerate the application process for families and most document-related questions are completed via the Easy ApplyIRS integration, we have removed all unnecessary pages and instead placed all relevant text at the top of its corresponding application section:
This removes up to eight (8) clicks and reduces approximately 80% of the text for families to read.
The following improvements were released to the
Admin Portal
:- When exporting data, not all dates were formatted correctly. This has been addressed, and dates now remain consistent with in-product date formatting when exported.
- For TADS Methodology users, we added several features to theApplicantstab (these features were already in place for NAIS Methodology users):
- Updated labels for some Advanced Filters
- An additional Advanced Filter, PFS ID, as well as a corresponding column in the table below, giving you another option to search specific applicants
- The ability to edit the Admission/Enrollment Statusfrom the Applicants table, removing the need to navigate to each individual Student Folder to update this status

We're looking forward to continuing to deliver you all great value and improve your overall experience with SSS!
