Fee Payment Policy

Class registration is not officially completed until all tuition, room and board charges and fees are paid, except for those students who have prearranged to adopt the University's Monthly Installment Plan described below.

The University may cancel reserved classes if the student does not complete fee payment by the assigned fee payment dates in August and January for the respective Fall and Spring semesters. There is a $150 late registration fee charged to all students who do not complete fee payment by the deadline in the academic calendar. Accounts paid by checks that are returned by the bank uncollected are not considered paid.


Note: Students on the Monthly Installment Plan must keep their payments current throughout the contract life. If not current, the University reserves the right to cancel class reservations and room and board arrangements. If scheduled installment payments are not current by the assigned registration/fee payment days, the $150 late registration fee must be paid.

Fee Payment Procedure:

To complete the official registration process the following steps are required by the student:

• Dates, times and location of class reservation are announced in advance in the directory of classes each semester.
• Pay the required tuition, fees, room and board at the Student Accounts Office, Hughes Administration Center 207, except those who prearranged to adopt the University's Monthly Installment Plan. Students may choose to conveniently complete the fee payment portion of registration by mailing their full payment to the University's Student Accounts Office by the mail-in deadline listed in the registration/fee payment instruction sheets.
• If the student has any estimated financial aid, federal student/parent loans, federal Perkins loans, trust loan or other student loans or awards, they must be posted to the account to assist the student in completing fee payment. The student must make arrangements with the Student Accounts office by the registration/fee payment deadline. Failure to do so will subject the student to a $150 late registration fee.

Payment Methods: The University of San Diego currently accepts cash and checks at the Student Accounts office, checks via the mail, or electronic check via USD E-Pay.

The University of San Diego does not accept credit card payments for student account charges including tuition, fees, housing, etc.

Note: Please read the intersession and summer session bulletins for specific information regarding the registration/fee payment procedure for those academic periods.
