Registration & Payment Deadlines
The settlement (or payment) deadline for Spring 2009 is 5pm PST on Friday, January 8, 2010. Read about detailed explanations and additional deadlines for drop / add, withdrawals, tuition refund insurance, health insurance waiver, etc. in the Schedule of Classes. The exact amount of your tuition and fees depends on your program, the session in which you are enrolling, and the specific classes you are taking. Some classes at USC require lab fees, which can vary a great deal depending upon the materials used in the class. For this reason, we cannot predict what your bill will be. The rates for most of the sessions offered are published in the Schedule of Classes, as are the standard fees. If you will be enrolling in a session that does not have rates published, you should contact the academic unit offering the classes for more information.

FALL / SPRING If you need your Fall / Spring charges to appear on a billing statement before the term due date, please register at least 40 days in advance of the start of classes (see term's "Registration Calendar" in the Schedule of Classes at http://www.usc.edu/soc ). If you enroll or have a change of program (add or drop classes) that results in additional charges after the pre-registration billing date (approximately one month before the term's payment deadline / due date), you will not receive another billing notice before the payment deadline. Any Fall/Spring tuition and fees not settled by the term due date will be subject to late fees as described in the Schedule of Classes at http://www.usc.edu/soc . If you drop or add classes after the payment deadline, all charges must be paid or deferred 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 ($100.00 per week). You should check your account on USCe.pay any time you make a change to your enrollment. In addition, we email monthly billing notices to all students who have outstanding balances or have activity on their student accounts during the month to their USC email addresses, selected guest email addresses and epay alternate email address. Non-receipt of a bill or failure to access it online does not relieve you of the settlement deadline. Using the Web Registration auto scheduler feature but failing to register for any courses before the tuition and fees payment deadline is not a valid reason to request a waiver of the late registration fee. Students whose checks are returned unpaid by the bank or whose credit card authorizations are declined by the bank will be subject to late fees until their accounts are paid in full. SUMMER Summer charges are posted to your account at the time of registration and will be billed on the next billing statement. Payment is due on the due date listed on the billing statement regardless of when classes actually start. Federal Loans and Grants If you have been awarded a Perkins loan, Stafford loan, Pell grant, or other federal loan or grant, the credit will not appear on this billing statement. Under federal regulations, most awards of this type may not be credit to student accounts until ten days prior to the first day of classes. At USC, most aid usually posts one week before the start of classes, and is eligible for a refund a few days before the start of classes. For questions about Financial Aid or anticipated loan funds which have not been credited to your student account, please contact the Office of Financial Aid, or go: http://www.usc.edu/finaid. Payment Plan Online enrollments for USC payment plan will be available for registered students beginning about 3 weeks before the Fall / Spring payment deadline. Sign-ups will include payment of 1st monthly payment. For more information please visit http://www.usc.edu/sfs/payplan . Late Payment Fall / Spring Terms: To avoid late fees, you must register and have your tuition, fees, housing, dining and all other charges paid or deferred by 5:00 P.M. PST on the term's settlement deadline. If you fail to register and settle your account, you will be assessed late fees each week in accordance with the following schedule: | Friday of 1st week of classes | $100.00 | | Friday of 2nd week of classes | $100.00 | | Friday of 3rd week of classes | $100.00 | Registration is not permitted after the third week of classes. The university currently assesses a monthly finance charge on all past due balances. The current annual rate is 12 percent, subject to change. Non-receipt of a bill does not relieve you of this settlement deadline. Using the Web Registration auto scheduler feature but failing to register for any courses before the tuition and fees payment deadline is not a valid reason to request a waiver of the late registration fee. Students whose checks are returned unpaid by the bank or whose credit card authorizations are declined by the bank will be subject to the late fees described above until their accounts are paid in full. Any charges or credits to your student account will be reflected immediately* on USCe.pay's OVERVIEW page 'account balance', will be listed on USCe.pay TRANSACTIONS page, and will be included on the following month's monthly statement. *note: Mailed-in payments and Payment Plan enrollments are processed at the end of each business day, and are not posted to your student account (USCe.pay) until the following business day. Credit Balance Refunds If you have a credit balance on your student account and are eligible to receive a refund, the first date refunds will be issued is the Wednesday before the start of classes (for Fall 2009 this date is 08/19/09). For your convenience, we offer automatic refunds to your U.S. bank account. For more information please visit http://www.usc.edu/sfs/refund . Health Insurance Please check your itemized transactions for insurance charges. Because charges can be changed based on enrollment status, you need to look at ALL of your transactions to determine the net insurance charge you have been assessed. The cost of Student Health Insurance for Fall 2008 was $324, and for Spring/Summer 2009 it was $611. The Student Health Center fee was $220 for Fall and Spring and $16/week for Summer with a maximum of $192 for 12 weeks. Student Health Insurance can be waived under the right conditions, and is not the same as the Student Health Center fee, which cannot be waived. Please see the Schedule of Classes for more information, or go to the Health Center website. If you wish to request a waiver of the mandatory Student Health Insurance fee and have not already done so, please print out, complete, and submit the waiver form at http://www.usc.edu/uphc by the deadline. If you have not been charged and wish to be enrolled in the Student Health Insurance plan or you have questions, please contact the Student Health Insurance Office at uscins@usc.edu . The last day to purchase or show proof of health insurance may be found inthe Schedule of Classes for each term. Graduate Assistants If you have accepted a graduate assistant position, and your tuition or health fee award has not been credited to your student account, please remind your department that the deadline is approaching. After talking with your department, if you need assistance, please submit an inquiry by visiting http://www.usc.edu/sfs/ga . You are still responsible for paying all other fees by the settlement deadline. Orientation Fees The mandatory orientation fee assessed on your student account is for services provided by the Orientation Department to all entering students. This fee is in addition to any charges you may have paid if you attended an orientation program. USC Housing USC Housing bills by semester rather than monthly. Rents will be charged to your student account at the beginning of each semester (May, August and December). For Fall and Spring terms USC's Payment Plan offers students the option to pay USC Housing rent with monthly payments.
