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.

NOTE: USC's wire transfer fee is $12.50.
Please add $12.50 to your payment when you request the wire transfer.
When wire transfer payments are posted to a student account,
the $12.50 wire transfer fee is posted as a charge on the student account.
If you have not included the $12.50 fee in the amount of the wire transfer,
your account balance will not be settled in full, which may result in late fees or other penalties.

You should only wire funds that you need to pay for your tuition, fees and any university contracted services as we will no longer accept large wire transfers that are in excess of the cost of the tuition. 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.
