Winthrop University student account questions

What happens if I have an unpaid balance at Winthrop University?

If you do not establish satisfactory payment arrangements by the published Fee Payment Deadline (approximately 2 weeks before classes begin for Fall/Spring), your class schedule may be cancelled and you will be assessed a $150 late payment fee. Satisfactory arrangements include paying in full, enrolling in a payment plan and submitting the first installment, or having accepted financial aid that covers 100% of your balance. If your account becomes delinquent, Winthrop may refer it to a collection agency and you will be responsible for all collection costs. Contact Student Account Services at sas@winthrop.edu or 803/323-2165 with questions.

What holds can prevent me from registering at Winthrop University?

Registration holds at Winthrop include financial holds (unpaid balance or no satisfactory payment arrangement), advising holds (required advisor meeting not completed), academic standing holds, and immunization holds. Log into Wingspan (wingspan.winthrop.edu) and go to the Student Registration card > Prepare for Registration to view any active holds and check whether advising is complete. To resolve a financial hold, contact Student Account Services at sas@winthrop.edu or 803/323-2165. For advising holds, contact your assigned advisor (found in DegreeWorks or Wingspan) or, if undeclared, the Center for Advising and Transfer Success at osscats@winthrop.edu or 803/323-4786.
