My USC Sumter

    Business Office

    The Business Office provides financial services support to students, parents, faculty, staff, deans, department heads and the administration. Our office functions primarily as the official depository of all university funds and is responsible for receipting and disbursing all funds, which includes the assessment and collection of tuition and fees.

    Tuition and Fees

    Student bills are not mailed, bills are available in Self Service (SSC) at my.sc.edu.
