EXAMPLE:

In the example below, it is 07/22/2008 and this student has pre-registered for Fall 2008. Tuition & fees for pre-registered students is 'posted' a few days before Fall / Spring billing statements are generated so that they will be included on the Fall / Spring billing statement. Since the 'Minimum Payment Due' for the upcoming payment deadline on '07/25/2008' is '$ .00', either there was a) no amount billed on the previous month's statement or b) the student has already paid the full amount due. In this example, the student will be billed on their next billing statement (which will be available online by 7/29/2008), in the amount of $19,066.79 ('Account Balance') for Fall 2008 tuition and fees, which will be due by 5pm PST on the Fall payment deadline (08/22/2008).

Once the Fall 2008 billing statement is generated (covering the period from 06/28/2008-07/25/2008), the 'Due Date' will become 08/22/2008 and the 'Minimum Payment Due' will become $19,066.79. If the student has any Financial Aid pending, the Office of Financial Aid may enter an amount to be deferred until the assistance is received, which would reduce the 'Minimum Payment Due' (and display as the 'Deferred Balance').

Additional payment information:

To avoid late fees and penalties, payments should be received by the university by the settlement deadline (see term's Schedule of Classes: Registration Calendar).
Inability to access or use USCe.pay or TIPS does not relieve students from the responsibility to meet the settlement deadline.
If you enroll or have a change of program that results in additional charges to your student account, the additional charges must be paid by Friday of the same week in which they were incurred or they may be subject to late payment fees.
Charges which are not part of registration (Housing, USCard, etc.), are due when billed (ie: by the due date on the monthly billing statement).

* During fall and spring registration periods all tuition and fees are due by 5pm on the Friday before the first day of classes. Summer tuition and fees are due at the time of registration, ie: when billed.

** The USC Payment Plan is a line of credit established with the USC Student Financial Services Office using a service provider (CashNet). Payment Plan information is only available to students and their OASIS guest users via OASIS.
