Enrollment management ideas

I have been asked to come up with ideas of how to use fee payment as a more
useful tool for enrollment management.

We bill our students for the fall semester in mid-July with a due date
approximately 10 days before classes begin. We drop students for non-payment
if not paid by that due date. The students that register after mid-July are
not billed until mid-August with fee payment due mid-September. Our deans are
concerned that students are delaying their registration so they can pay
later. They are further concerned that because of this, we do not have a
handle on who is truly planning to attend.

I am looking for suggestions on how your institution uses fee payment and drop
for non-payment as an enrollment tool. I would also appreciate information if
you do something from another section of the university to manage who will
attend and who will not attend. Also, if you have tried something and it
didn't work, please let me know that.

As always, thank you for your help.
