When you register for classes at USC, you are personally agreeing to be held solely responsible for all tuition and fees. (See "Obligation For Payment" in the "Tuition and Fees" section of the "Schedule of Classes"). Parents and others may volunteer to pay, and if they have an email address, you may have e-bill notices sent directly to their email address by setting them up as a Guest User on OASIS or USCe.pay, granting them access to your account. OASIS guest user access also allows parents to set up Payment Plans for eligible students.

United States Federal Law requires that before we discuss the details of your student account with anyone other than you, we must have on file a document commonly known as a "Buckley Waiver". You may also grant access to your online information and statements by setting guests up as Guest Users on OASIS or USCe.pay.


Billing Statements are created 12 times a year, following monthly payment deadlines (see SCHEDULE).
Any transactions which have posted to student accounts SINCE the last billing statement (08/21)
can be seen on USCe.pay's TRANSACTIONS page (displays last 30 transactions by date).
See archive of e-bill notification text, including time-sensitive instructions for students...

Direct deposit: get refunds from your student account into your checking account no matter where you are!

About Commitment Deposits:
All undergrads who have paid the $300 deposit AND are registered for Fall 2009 should have been credited. If not, you may contact Admissions at http://www.usc.edu/admission/ . If you have paid a deposit to a graduate or professional program, please contact a representative of that program if you have questions about your deposit.
