Wire Transfer Payments

Funds coming from outside the United States can take several (3-4) weeks to reach us.
Avoid late fees by making sure funds are wired well before the payment deadline.

You should only wire funds that you need to pay for your tuition, fees and any university contracted services. Do not send additional funds for living expenses that you would pay to a private landlord or entity. Those funds should be wired to your U.S. banking account if you already have one set up. If not, you should travel with traveler's checks that will allow you to pay for expenses outside of USC. Once you arrive, you should make arrangements to open a checking account with one of the local financial institutions.

Please allow sufficient time for your bank to process and submit your wire transfer so that it will be posted to your student account in a timely manner. Funds coming from outside the United States can take several (3-4) weeks to reach us. To avoid late fees, we recommend that students (especially international students) wire funds well before the payment deadline.
