USC has partnered with Flywire, Convera, and CIBC International Student Pay to streamline the tuition payment process for our students who need to wire funds to the university either through domestic or international banks. USC does not charge you for using the Flywire, Convera or CIBC International Student Pay payment options, however your local bank may charge fees to initiate a transfer on your behalf.
Plan ahead and wire your payment far enough in advance to ensure that it reaches USC before the settlement deadline. Wired funds transactions can take 2-5 business days to complete after your local bank initiates payment to Flywire, Convera or CIBC International Student Pay.
Tip: Only wire the funds needed to pay for your tuition and university fees. Do not send funding for any expenses to be paid to a non-university entity, such as a private landlord.
Domestic Payments
Both Flywire and Convera accept domestic wire payments.
International Payments (foreign bank transfer, foreign credit card, e-wallet)
International students will save on exchange rates, and in most cases can pay in their local currencies. We encourage you to explore both wire payment options.
