Sponsor Payments / Agency Billing

USC students who are sponsored by a company, a local, state, federal, or international governmental agency, or branch of the US military may be eligible to have all or a portion of their bills sent directly to the sponsor. The sponsor may not require completion of the class or verification of grade as a condition of payment. Payment by the sponsor is due upon receipt of the bill.

The charges paid by the sponsor can vary -- some will pay for tuition and mandatory fees, others will also pay for parking, housing, dining, or other charges. The student is responsible for paying any charges not authorized by the agency.

Most agencies provide our sponsored agency specialist with the information needed to credit the student account and bill the agency. If you are a newly sponsored student, your agency should send documentation directly to:

Student Account Services
Attn: Agency Billing
University Park
Los Angeles, CA 90089-1052

Fax: (213)740-0835
Email: agencybilling@usc.edu

You may also bring an authorization letter or Tuition Voucher from your agency to Student Account Services, in PSB 106 (available via the lobby of Parking Structure B, NW corner of campus), during regular business hours. The letter should include:

the name of a contact person at the agency
the agency fax number
the agency phone number
the agency address
the name of the student
the student's 10-digit USC-ID
the charges they will pay
the duration of the sponsorship

Authorization in any form must be received prior to the settlement deadline for the term. See the Schedule of Classes for deadline information.

If the agency fails to pay the bill, the charges will be placed back on the student account and the student will be responsible for payment.

Agency billing does not provide service to students who are receiving tuition reimbursement from their sponsors. These students may be eligible to participate in the Tuition Reimbursement Plan.
