FACTS FAQs
FACTS is the SIS (Student Information System) software MIS uses for parents to make tuition payments, apply and re-enroll to the school, and maintain accurate family information.

If multiple households share the responsibility of your child for making tuition payments, updating information, etc, your child will belong to multiple families. Each family will only have access to their own family account, but can see information pertaining to the child. If multiple households will be making tuition payments, you can either make financial arrangements outside of FACTS or you can each be setup with a tuition payment plan. See also: “What if a 3rd party is paying tuition?”
If multiple households have a split payment arrangement for tuition payments, you must notify the school as MIS sets up payment split percentage arrangements in the backend of your student’s FACTS account.

We can establish someone as a guest payer on your account (the will receive an email invitation to join FACTS and will have a separate login for your account) or we can create them as a separate family. With the first option, they will not see your bank or credit card information nor will you see theirs but they will be able to see any invoices and other payments made on the account. With the second option, this is all kept completely separate.
