Initial Payments
Most students make their initial payments ($200 deposit [$400 if you are attending two programs] plus $50 housing deposit if USD-recommended housing is elected in Dublin or Oxford) by personal check or postal money order made payable to USD and sent to our office at Institute on Int'l & Comparative Law Att. Ms. Cindy King, University of San Diego, 5998 Alcala Park WH310, San Diego CA 92110-2492. Your payment should include your first and last name, the program(s) you hope to attend (i.e., Florence 2010) and, for USD students, your USD ID number.
We cannot accept payments by credit card. Nor can money be sent through Western Union without making advanced arrangements with Ms. King, cking@sandiego.edu.
If you have any questions about payment, call us at +1(619)260-4597, fax us at 1-619-260-2230, or e-mail us at cking@sandiego.edu.
Students at Colorado, Indiana Bloomington, Lewis & Clark, or Thomas Cooley should make all payments to their schools.
Students at law schools located outside the United States who cannot pay by personal check or postal money order should pay by wire transfer to the University of San Diego bank account. This requires that you add US$25 to the amount of your payment to defray the fee our bank charges USD to receive your wire transfer. As the bank fees imposed on both the sender and recipient are by the transaction rather than the amount, you may wish to pay the entire amount that will be due for the program, including housing, language courses and trips, in the first wire transfer. Another way to save on bank charges is to pool payments with other students from your school going to any of our Institutes, and pay with a single wire transfer for several students. The USD account is at:
Wells Fargo Bank NA
San Francisco, CA 94163 (no further address is required)
Transit ABA# is 121000248
Account # is 4159405125
Telex # is 184904WELLS UT
their phone # is: 800-289-3557 or 1-503-225-3155 or 1-503-225-1032

(your name, program year and program(s)

All wire transfers should be sent to the attention of Ms.Cindy King, ext. 4597.
