I tried anything I could to obtain something like the right image where the dots reach the page numbers. But, I always get the left image.
Is there any option to control this? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

1Welcome to TeX.SX! This highly depends on the used class and packages, so please post a minimal working example (MWE). – Skillmon Jul 25 '18 at 18:37

1Thank you! I have updated my question with the link to my sample code. – Ehsan A Jul 25 '18 at 18:55

The sample code you posted does show dot leaders for chapter-level headers. If that's not what you want, please clarify your objective. – Mico Jul 25 '18 at 19:00

Yes, they appear. But what I need is to have the dots reach to the page numbers. I don't want the empty space at the end. Like the right image that I posted. – Ehsan A Jul 25 '18 at 19:04

I know how to do it using @dottedtocline. As a rule, I do not look at links for MWEs. – John Kormylo Jul 25 '18 at 20:19

Your document class is built on top of the standard class report.cls. The behavior you describe is hard-wired into this class (in fact into the macro \@dottedtocline of LaTeX itself). The following patch probably works for most document classes that build on the standard classes.
Add the following lines after the \documentclass{...} command.
\usepackage{xpatch}
\makeatletter
\xpatchcmd\@dottedtocline{\hb@xt@\@pnumwidth}{}{}{}
\makeatother
Here is an example using the report class, but it also works for your class (see the end of the answer).
\documentclass{report}
\usepackage{xpatch}
\makeatletter
\xpatchcmd\@dottedtocline{\hb@xt@\@pnumwidth}{}{}{}
\makeatother
\begin{document}
\tableofcontents
\chapter{Test 1}
\section{A}
\subsection{a}
\clearpage
\setcounter{page}{10}
\section{B}
\clearpage
\setcounter{page}{100}
\subsection{a}
\chapter{Test 2}
\end{document}
Compare the output of the patched version
with the unpatched standard behavior.
If you replace report by your class USF, you obtain
which is what you asked for (as I understand it).
