USC has partnered with Flywire and Convera to streamline the tuition payment process for our students who need to wire funds to the university. USC does not charge you for using the Flywire or Convera 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 or Convera.
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.

Overpayments
If your account has been overpaid by wire transfer, either the university will return the entire amount of the wire transfer to the originating bank or you may leave the excess funds in your account to be used for future charges. Partial refunds are not allowed.
