Deactivating or deleting a billing plan will ensure recurring invoices are no longer posted to a student's billing account. Plans can be deactivated immediately or scheduled to automatically be deleted on a specific date in the future.
Providers may wish to deactivate billing plans if a student leaves, tuition rates change, or a duplicate plan was created.

Providers can deactivate billing plans for multiple students at once, or on a individual basis. This is a permanent action and cannot be undone. In some cases, you may wish to pause and unpause a plan instead.

Both options work - we recommend picking what works best of you. If you update the existing plan, you’ll need to manually adjust the rate when it takes effect.
Or, you can set the current plan to deactivate on the exact transition date. Once that’s scheduled, create a new billing plan with the updated rate and a start date so it automatically takes effect when the new tuition begins.
