Tuition Payment Plan

USC Upstate offers students the option of enrolling in a payment plan to make monthly payments on their semester balance. The payment plan is available to all USC Upstate students who are in good financial standing with no past due charges. 

The tuition payment plan requires a down payment of 25% of the student’s account balance, plus a non-refundable administrative fee of $75 when the payment plan is established. This down payment is required at the time of enrollment.

Payment plans may be set up beginning November 15, 2019.  

• Down payment of 25% of the balance + $75 administration fee   
• First installment of 25% is due on February 10, 2020
• Second installment of 25% is due on March 10, 2020
• Third installment of 25% is due on April 10, 2020

Payments received after the due date are subject to $100 late fee per late payment. Unpaid late payments will result in a hold on your student account and may result in cancellation of classes.
