What StudentPlus is
StudentPlus is web-based student management software primarily designed for dance schools. It manages students, classes, schedules, and staff, and can automatically bill class fees. Schools can define fee groups and billing cycles, send payment reminders tied to those cycles and additional fee due dates, and import bank statements for automatic allocation of payments to accounts and fees. Parents, guardians, or students can register themselves to join a school. Schools can set class timetables and make them available on a customizable website included with any package. That site can also provide registration, general information, and schedules. StudentPlus supports emails to all students, active students, or selected classes; its homepage also describes mass emails or SMS to selected groups. The service offers a free plan and a free 60-day trial. It is accessible through most browsers on desktops and tablets. StudentPlus says browser-to-server data is encrypted with SSL certificates and its servers are hosted at a data centre in South Africa.
