How to pay your fees
How do I obtain my invoice?
All students must generate and print a student invoice in USC Central before making a payment.
The invoice will display the fee liability, fee description and fee payment due date.
Note: Invoices are not posted to students.
Logon to USC Central to:
- Generate and print your student invoice after you have completed your enrolment; and
- record the fee payment due date (Note: If you are eligible and have requested to defer your fees to SA-HELP, HECS-HELP or FEE-HELP and you have provided your tax file number to USC, you may disregard the payment due date).
Refer to the USC Central guide for how to generate your student invoice in USC Central.
When do I pay my fees?
Your student invoice (also a Tax Invoice) includes all charges and fees owing on your Student Account and the payment due date.
We encourage you to pay at least two days prior to the fee due date to ensure payment is received by USC on or before the due date.
Refer to the relevant Academic Calendar for key administrative dates.
Note: Late payment of University fees attracts penalties that may include but are not limited to the withholding of results. Outstanding fees may also impact on future enrolment at the University.
