Students admitted and registered for courses at Winthrop University are financially and academically responsible for fees and charges associated with those courses.  When a student withdraws from one or more courses, a refund may be due or a repayment owed in accordance with institutional guidelines.

   Students receiving Title IV Federal Funds, which have been applied against their charges, may also be subject to the Federal Refund/Repayment Guidelines: Section 668.123.

Academic Fee Adjustments

   For all students, except students enrolled for the first time at Winthrop, and receiving Title IV Federal Funds, academic fees will be prorated on the basis of the following schedule:
 

Official Withdrawal Date	Percentage of Academic Fee Adjustment:
Before end of 1st week of classes	100%
Before end of 2nd week of classes	75%
Before end of 3rd week of classes	50%
Before end of 4th week of classes	25%

Laboratory Fees are non-refundable.

Housing and Meal Adjustments 
   Housing fees are prorated on a weekly basis through the seventh week of each semester. Meal fee refunds are prorated on a daily basis throughout each semester.  Be sure to read the residence hall contract regarding contract cancellation policies.

Processing Fee Adjustments 
   Adjustments due are computed from the date of official withdrawal from the University, official reduction of course load, official withdrawal from courses or official withdrawal from housing. When forms required for reduction of course load or complete withdrawal are filed in a timely manner, it is anticipated that this process would be completed in 14 days from the date these forms are submitted.
