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.
