Frequently Asked Questions

Where and to whom do I address a payment I wish to send by mail?

Checks and drafts must be drawn on U.S. Banks and made payable to "University of Southern California".
Please be sure to include student name and USC-ID on the front of your check / draft payment.

 

Student Account payments:

Normal Payments
If you are making a normal payment* and it is not an urgent matter that the Collections Department or Cashier's Office be immediately aware that your check has arrived, then you may send your payment to the following address:

USC Cashier's Office
File # 51158-1
Los Angeles, California 90074-1158

* To prevent late fees and finance charges, mailed payments should be mailed at least 5-10 business days before the settlement deadline if mailed within the continental U.S., (allow more time for HI, AK and international mail) so that they may be received by the settlement deadline. Please do not send express / overnight mail to this address as it is a PO box.

To mail a (student account) payment OVERNIGHT, please send it to:
USC Cashier's Office
Parking Structure B, PSB 106
Los Angeles, California 90089-1052

If you have already been dealing with the Collections Department, and if your situation is such that the lifting of the hold depends on the Collections Department being immediately aware that your check has arrived, then please send the payment to:

Parking Structure B, PSB 115
Los Angeles, California 90089-1053
