Payment Plan FAQs

There is a $50 enrollment fee to use the plan. Payments may be made from international bank accounts through Flywire.

You must also owe a balance of at least $2,250; if your balance is less than that, you may be subject to registration holds and late fees, but you will not be subject to registration cancellation.

Payment Plans are viewable on your myUSF account (click on View & Pay). If you are an authorized payer, you can log in to View & Pay using the credentials provided by the student. Once logged in, you will see a box titled "Installment Payment Plans."

Yes, your initial notice acknowledging your enrollment will come from noreply@usfca.edu. Subsequent notices will be sent from paymentplans@higherone.com when payments are processed or if some action is required on your part due to a change in your student account balance.

There is a $50 enrollment fee and a $10 late fee charged on the 15th of the month if payment has not yet been received.

The $50 enrollment fee is due when you enroll in the semester payment plan. Each installment/payment is due the 5th of the month.

• Fall: August 5, September 5, October 5, November 5

• Summer: May 5, June 5, July 5

If you have not registered before the semester payment due date, or if your registration has been canceled, you can submit a late enrollment agreement request. If your request is granted, your registration hold will be lifted per the terms of the agreement. 

We accept electronic checks from U.S.-based bank accounts or international wire transfers through Flywire. The University of San Francisco does not accept debit or credit cards for tuition payments.

You can change your payment method through View & Pay (accessible through myUSF). You'll have to add a new account information.

Yes, but you will forfeit the enrollment fee, as this fee is non-refundable.

First, make sure that you have completed all of your financial aid requirements, such as accepting your awards, completing entrance interview requirements, signing promissory notes, and sending any required verification documents to the financial aid office. When your balance drops to zero, you will be automatically removed from the semester payment plan and no further payments will be made.

If your student account balance decreases, it will automatically be reflected in your semester payment plan and your monthly payment will be reduced. If you've already paid, normally it will be applied to the next month's payment. At the end of the semester, if you have a credit balance in your account, you can request a refund by emailing studentaccounts@usfca.edu.

If your student account balance increases, the adjustment is not automatic. You may opt to either 1.) pay the additional balance in full (separate from the payment plan), or 2.) accept it as part of your semester payment plan for future installments. You can do this through View & Pay (accessible through myUSF).

If you fail to make a payment by the 15th of the month, you will be assessed a $10 late fee. 

If a payment is returned, you will be charged a $75 fee. You will then be responsible for making a payment yourself, through View & Pay (accessible through myUSF). If you miss two consecutive installments, you will be withdrawn from the payment plan. Your account balance will then become due in full and may be subject to late fees.

You can submit an appeal to reinstate your access to the payment plan.  A second withdrawal will result in permanent loss of access to the plan.
