USC Application Fees

Note the following:

All fees must be paid when you submit your application, as payment can't be made over the phone. USC only accepts payments via MasterCard or Visa.
Once you submit your application, a confirmation message displays. We recommend you print this page, as it serves as your receipt which includes your payment date, your order number, a list of the programs you paid for, and your payment details. No other payment receipt will be provided.
USC accepts a maximum of three applications per term. Applications submitted to more than three programs in the same term will not be considered, and no refunds will be granted.
Review USC fee waiver qualification requirements. You can also watch this video to learn more.

You can apply your coupon code(s) when you are ready to submit your application.

Click Submit, or to submit to more than one program, click Submit All.
On the payment page, enter the coupon codes you received from the programs under Apply Coupon.
Click the Apply Coupon button.
Complete the rest of the payment details pages.

Note the following:

When a coupon code equals the total transaction amount, you don’t need to enter additional payment information.
When a coupon code is less than the total transaction amount, you'll need to enter payment information for the additional balance.
When a coupon code is more than the total transaction amount, you don’t need to enter additional payment information. However, you'll forfeit the remaining balance offered by the coupon code, as USC will not issue credits or carry remaining balances forward.
Coupon codes cannot be applied to chargeback fees.

If you used a coupon code when submitting to a program, the code will be listed under Payment History.
