Frequently Asked Questions
✔ How do I view my Winthrop e-bill?
E-bills are e-mailed to the student’s Winthrop e-mail address according to the billing schedule located on the
Student Financial Services website. However, students may view their current charges, payments, and any
anticipated Financial Aid by logging into Wingspan and clicking “Account Summary and Payments” on the left
side. Your account is available 24/7, so you can view it anytime. If you have questions, contact Student Financial
Services.
✔ What will happen if I do not pay or have payment arrangements in place by the fee payment deadline?
A late fee may be imposed and, if not paid, your schedule will ultimately be dropped. You will then have to reregister
for classes and pay your fees. However, Winthrop cannot guarantee that you will be able to re-register
for the same courses you were previously enrolled in.
✔ How do I pay my fees?
You can pay online through the Payment Gateway on Wingspan or at the Cashier’s Office (22 Tillman Hall,
803/323-2167). The Cashier’s Office does not accept credit card payments at the teller windows, by mail, or by
telephone.

Winthrop strives to be financially accessible by having their doors open to students and family to walk in
and talk about any questions or problems they have financially. I couldn’t even tell you how many times I
have contacted either Student Financial Services or Financial Aid and have always gotten quick replies and
descriptive answers to what was needed. – Sophomore, international business major from Chester, South Carolina
Although your family may be helping you with tuition, try and have those financial conversations and sort out
scholarships and payment plans on your own, so that you can understand how it works. This will help you function in
the “real world” as an adult. – Sophomore, elementary education major from Travelers Rest, South Carolina
