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. 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.

please continue to monitor your student account for any additional charges which may post...

SUMMER 2013
Summer tuition & fees are assessed at the time of enrollment and due when billed.

FALL 2013
ALL Fall 2013 tuition and fees, including those assessed after 7/26/2013,
are to be settled in full no later than 5pm PST on Friday, 8/23/2013.
Students who pre-register (by 5pm PST on Friday, 7/26/2013) will receive a fall 2013 billing statement.
If you register after 7/26/2013 you will not receive an e-bill before the 8/23/2013 payment deadline.
 
New Students -and- USCe.pay
New student accounts on USCe.pay are created when we assess the 1st semester's tuition & fees
(for Fall / Spring terms: about 1 month before the start of classes), which is after you have enrolled
in classes and charges have been posted to your account, even if a commitment deposit has been paid.
If you are a NEW student, online financial services (& USCe.pay) will not be made available until that time!

FALL 2013  - Financial dates & deadlines (see Schedule of Classes for complete information)
Tuition and fees for pre-registered students are assessed (posted to the student account on USCe.pay) 5-6 weeks before Fall/Spring term settlement deadlines so that students may receive a billing statement before payment is due. To receive a Fall 2013 billing statement, students should register by 5pm PST on Friday, July 26th. Tuition & fees unpaid by the term settlement deadline (5pm PST on Friday, 8/23) may be assessed weekly late fees.  Students who drop/add classes after the settlement deadline must settle all charges in full by 5 pm, PST, on Friday during the week in which the change took place. If any portion remains unpaid, late fees will be assessed according to the late fee schedule ($100 per week).
Federal financial aid will begin posting the week before the start of classes, per federal guidelines.  Refunds (and eRefunds) for qualifying credit balances will begin on Wednesday, 8/21.
