Make A Payment (to your student account):

USCe.pay offers secure online payment processing for your student account.  Please note that inability to access USCe.pay does not excuse students from the responsibility for timely payment. To avoid late fees, if USCe.pay is not available, please review our OTHER Payment Methods...

Payments made after 5:00pm PST on the payment due date will be considered late. If your bank declines your payment request for any reason, it will be treated as a returned check and your account will be subject to late fees, returned check fees and finance charges.

USCe.pay accepts the following methods of online payment for student accounts:

• ACH checking or savings account transfers
  An electronic transfer of funds from your U.S. Bank checking or savings account to USC.  Please note that most banks do not accept ACH transfer requests from other types of accounts including: money market, mutual fund, line of credit and brokerage accounts. Also, debit card numbers are NOT valid for entry of your bank account number, and will be rejected by your bank as an invalid account number.
   
  ACH payments should post to your student account within 1 business day, however they may take several days to appear on your bank account or to be rejected by your bank.  If an ACH payment request is rejected by your bank, your student account will be debited and penalties may be assessed.  And, you will need to contact your bank to find out why a payment request was rejected.
  
  
• Credit Card payments
  Our payment processor accepts VISA, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover cards which have been issued by U.S. banking institutions. If your payment request is rejected, please contact your bank to find out why.  If you are notified that a 'timeout' has occurred while your payment request was processing, you may contact your bank to find out whether the request was approved.
  
  CC payments should post to your student account within 1 business day.
  
  Foreign credit card payments may not be approved by the issuing bank.  Frequently this is because online payments are not considered in-person transactions, or the payment amount may be over a certain limit. HOWEVER, if you would like to try using a foreign credit card please use the student's local (U.S.) address and zip code when making the CC payment.  Please contact your bank to find out why a payment request was rejected.

Receipts are only available online at the time of payment processing.
Please be sure to print your screen when prompted if you want a receipt.
