Financing Your Education

The payment options described below refer to the balance that you are required to pay the University of San Francisco after all eligible financial aid has been deducted from your semester charges (tuition, housing charges and fees).

1. Payment in Full 

 

If you choose to pay in full, the following are the Payment Deadlines for each semester:

  • Summer 2008: Thursday, May 1, 2008
  • Fall 2008: Friday, August 1, 2008
  • Spring 2009: Monday, January 5, 2009

If we do not receive your payment in full by the payment deadline for the semester or you have not enrolled in the 4-Month Payment Plan, a non-payment fee and monthly late payment fees will be charged. We will no longer automatically enroll you in the 4-Month Payment Plan.

All previous semester charges must be paid in full by the current semester due date to avoid class cancellation.

PLEASE NOTE: Students who have not registered prior to Payment Due Date, are required to pay in full or enroll in the payment plan at the time of registration for all tuition, housing charges, and fees (minus loans, grants or scholarships.)

3. Third-Party Billing

 

USF offers third-party billing, or Special Billing, to students whose employers or other outside agency will pay their tuition and/or fees and expenses.

Students whose company or agency reimburses them directly are NOT eligible for special billing. Payments contingent upon completion of class or grade posting are also not eligible for special billing.

Students must submit vouchers/authorizations to Student Accounts, prior to payment due date for each semester.

If you have questions or would like more information, please e-mail us at onestop@usfca.edu or call (415) 422-2020.

5. Alternative Financing

 

Many students and parents have used private student loans as another resource to help fund educational costs. Most alternative loan programs require a credit-worthy cosigner.
