Tuition Payment Plan
The University offers a tuition payment plan to all USC Upstate students who are in good financial standing and have no outstanding past due charges. Returning students must meet a GPA requirement of at least 2.0.
NOTICE: The cashier's office does not accept credit card payments. All down payments and subsequent monthly installment payments must be made by check, cash, or money order.
The tuition payment plan requires a deposit equal to 25% of the student's bill plus an administrative fee of $75. The remaining balance is divided into three installments payable over the next three months. A late fee of up to $5.00 per day may be assessed for any late payments received.
Financial Aid students may use their available financial aid as the initial deposit as long as it is equal to or exceeds the 25% requirement. The $75 administrative fee must be paid by the student.
To set up a tuition payment plan, students come to Student Account Services in the HEC building during the first week in August. A picture ID must be provided from each student that sets up a payment plan, and each student must be present at the time the payment plan is created. This is a requirement of the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act 2003 amendment.
This tuition payment plan must be completed before the announced cancellation date for the semester. Tuition payment plans are not offered for summer terms.
