Even if you have a balance of zero, you must have your schedule validated by the fee payment deadline. You can validate your schedule by any one of the following ways:
- If your balance is zero you may use online validation. PLEASE NOTE: Request validation only when your balance is $0. If you owe a balance, please do not use this feature. Your schedule will be validated by the Cashiers Office when you make your payment.
- By calling the Cashier’s Office at (803) 323-2167 or the Controller’s Office at (803) 323-2165

When will I get my refund? |
|
Refund processing for Spring semester will begin on Thursday, January 3rd, 2013. Refunds take 2-3 business days to process. Direct deposits should be received by your bank account within the 2-3 day window. Refunds will be deposited directly into students' bank accounts if they have signed up for direct deposit through Wingspan. If the student did not sign up for direct deposit, checks will be mailed directly to the student's permanent address. Checks should be received within 7-10 business days. REMINDER: Financial aid eligibility changes when enrollment status changes. Your original award was determined using the enrollment status (full time, three quarter, etc.) you reported on your FAFSA. If your enrollment status at Winthrop drops below the anticipated status you provided on the FAFSA during the period of time allotted for course changes, your aid may be reduced. Should this occur, you will be responsible for repaying a portion of your refund to Winthrop, if applicable.

Will my refund be processed on January 3rd if I am a student athlete? |
|
To ensure compliance with NCAA regulations, all refund checks for athletes must be approved by the Athletic Department. This may result in a delay of 5-7 days before your refund is available.
