TADS Release Notes: MN v14.1.0 August 27, 2026

Direct School Online Payments | Classic Financial Aid Open for 2027-2028 | Defect & Maintenance
🌟 Direct School Online Payments
We've added 3 new options for School Administrators to add payments to family billing accounts! Unlike traditional “Paid School” payments, these new options will initiate
 through TADS, allowing school administrators to take payments from parents either in person or over the phone and process them in the system:
Bank Payment
 (allows the school to input bank account information)
Credit Card Payment
 (allows the school to input credit card information)
[Payment Method] on File
 (allows the school to process from the family's bank account or credit card on file, if one is present and the family authorizes you to process the payment)
These new Direct School Online Payment options are inputted within the Payments tab of the family's billing account. The Add Payment screen includes fields for the school to indicate the payment amount, payment type, and credit card/bank account details.
Example of the new school payment options that can be processed on a family's account:
The traditional "Paid School" payments are also still available for payments that have been processed outside of TADS and just need to be recorded on the account.
🌟 Classic Financial Aid Now Open for 2027-2028
TADS Classic Financial Aid can now be configured for the 2027-2028 school year and is available for schools wishing to open their application.
✔️ Defect & Maintenance
Fixed an issue that could cause billing accounts to be created prematurely when a credit card failed the initial validation check on Admissions Application checkout.
Fixed an issue that could cause ACH Verification to fail to block payments on Admissions Application checkout.
Fixed an issue that could cause ACH Verification bypass to continue blocking payments on the Billing Account ‘Make Payment’ page.
Fixed an issue with date sorting on the 'Student Import History' page.
Fixed an issue that caused the new “Document Upload” question format to ignore the document setting to “Trust Parent Uploads,” forcing the document through manual sorting and delaying availability to the school.
Updated the functionality of the “Make Primary” option on Household page of Enrollment to use a toggle instead of check box, so users can see the change in real time.
Re-added the “Remove Additional Household” option on the 'Enrollment Household' page.
