After the Free Semester or Free Setup, fees are as follows:
School Account: $50 per semester (most popular)
Most schools have a single, central account, and within it each teacher has their own schedule. The fee is $50 per semester for the whole school, for unlimited teachers and parents, or $4 per teacher, whichever is less.
Group Billing: $70 per semester
Schools can opt to not have a central account at all and instead have each teacher set up their own account. The school purchases a Group Billing Ticket that covers unlimited teachers, or $4 per teacher, whichever is less. The school distributes this ticket to its teachers, who have their own accounts and enter the ticket as their payment (see Using a Ticket). Thus, teachers manage their own conferences. The downside is the school does not have direct access to these accounts.
Individual Teachers paying for their own account: $4 per semester
We have a large number of teachers whose school does not yet use PTCfast, and so they set up an account just for themselves. The $4 fee covers an unlimited number of parents/appointments for the semester. (Note: this only applies to teachers paying for their account themselves. The school can also buy and distribute tickets [see above], in which case the teacher will enter that ticket as payment.)
Semester Dates
- Semesters are defined as Spring (January 1 - June 30) and Fall (July 1 - December 31).
- If you only run conferences in one semester of the year (e.g., Fall), you can pay for one semester per year and still access your account and all your data year-round. The system only checks pay status when you add times to your schedules.
