Payment Plan

The payment plan provides a convenient means for paying tuition, fees, and room and board through regularly scheduled payments.

USF expects that students will either enroll in the semester payment plan or make a full payment for all charges by the payment due date for each term. If payment is not received or if you have not enrolled in the payment plan by the due date, your course registration may be canceled.

You can enroll in the semester payment plan online and set up automatic payments. The semester payment plan is available for the fall, spring, and summer semesters.

Eligibility and Cost to Participate

There is a $50 enrollment fee to use the plan each semester. To qualify, you must have a minimum balance of $2,250, as required by California law. You can make installment payments using e-check, paper checks, or international payments through Flywire.
