University of Southern California $2M Student Fees Settlement

1. Locate the settlement notice you received from USC or the settlement administrator — it contains your unique ID and PIN needed to log in to the online claim form.
2. If you cannot find your ID and PIN, contact the settlement administrator by emailing info@USCFeeSettlement.com with your full name and mailing address.
3. Go to the online claim form at uscfeesettlement.com/form/claim, log in with your unique ID and PIN, and complete the attestation under penalty of perjury that you are a current or former USC student who was assessed late fees during the class period.
4. Alternatively, print and complete the PDF claim form from uscfeesettlement.com/documents/ and mail it to: Chaisson v. University of Southern California, c/o Settlement Administrator, P.O. Box 25226, Santa Ana, CA 92799.
5. Select your preferred payment method: credit to your USC student account, PayPal, Zelle, or mailed check.
6. If you believe USC's records are inaccurate regarding the fees you were charged, submit a written dispute to the settlement administrator by the claim deadline with supporting documentation.

What the form asks

• — The unique ID printed on the settlement notice mailed to you by the settlement administrator. (On the settlement notice you received in the mail from the settlement administrator.)
• — The PIN printed on the settlement notice mailed to you by the settlement administrator. (On the settlement notice you received in the mail from the settlement administrator.)
• — Confirm under penalty of perjury that you are a current or former USC student whom the university assessed late fees during the class period. (This is a checkbox or signature field on the claim form itself.)
• — Choose one: credit to USC student account, PayPal, Zelle (U.S. bank accounts only), or mailed check. (Selected on the claim form; provide relevant account details for the chosen method.)
• — Your current mailing address for check delivery or future correspondence. (Your current home or forwarding address.)

Documents you'll need

Watch out for

• The claim deadline has passed — the official settlement website states 'The Claim Deadline has passed'; confirm your eligibility to file before proceeding.
• Only the enrolled student whom USC assessed the fees is eligible — even if someone else paid on your behalf, only the student may file.
• Class members with a positive balance on their USC account will receive credit to that account regardless of their selected payment preference.
• If a mailed check goes uncashed within 90 days or an electronic payment is not completed, the funds will be donated to Scholarship America Inc.
• If total approved claims exceed the available payment pool, each individual payment will be reduced proportionally.
