Course Stipend Report Details
Course instructors who register for a course and opt to receive the attendee stipend only receive the instructor stipend, not the attendee stipend.
Attendees appear on the report only if they select the elective credit connected to the stipend before the course is marked complete.
If a course is marked complete and an attendee did not choose the stipend option from the elective credit choices when registering, the attendee’s name does not appear on the report.
If a course is marked complete before an attendee chooses the stipend elective credit, then the course manager must complete the following to award the stipend:
Manually remove credit
Change the credit to a Custom Credit connected to the stipend
Grant the attendee credit so the attendee appears on the report.
Printing the Course Stipend Report Spreadsheet
Printing the spreadsheet exports the following data:
Attendee Name
Staff ID (SSN or Local) if part of the user profile
Course Title
Stipend Type
Amount
Paid Status
Course Date
