Accepted Students
Congratulations on your admission and welcome to the Winthrop community! We look
forward to learning more about you and your educational goals, presenting you with
information on the next steps in your journey to attend Winthrop, and sharing our
unique campus traditions with you.
Now that you have been admitted, we encourage you to review the steps that lead to
enrollment:
- All admitted students will need to obtain a Winthrop E-mail account. This account will be used to log on to Wingspan, the student portal. You will register
for classes on Wingspan. You may register for an e-mail account by logging on to your enrollment checklist.
- If you plan to apply for financial aid, click here to view complete information on the financial aid process.
- Students who plan to enroll in the fall semester are encouraged to submit the FAFSA by March 1.
- Students who plan to enroll in the spring semester are encouraged to submit the FAFSA
as soon as possible.
- Review your residency status on your enrollment checklist. If you live in South Carolina or claim entitlement to in-state residency, the state
requires that you submit a residency form. If your residency status is non-resident, click on the link to access the electronic
form or confirm your submission. Complete information on South Carolina residency for tuition payment purposes can
be viewed by clicking on this link.
- Living on campus is the best way of becoming immersed in life at Winthrop. Information on reserving
a room will be sent to you by our Department of Residence Life. Submit your housing reservation forms early! Housing is assigned by the date your
residence hall application is received.
- Register for an Orientation program. During Orientation, you will meet other new students and your Orientation leader
who is a current Winthrop student. Additionally, you will receive information on your
major and register for classes. Family members are encouraged to take advantage of
Family Orientation, a program offered concurrently with the first day of each of the student sessions.
Register for Orientation by logging on to your enrollment checklist.
- Submit your enrollment fee. An enrollment fee of $300 is required to reserve your place in the fall class. The
fee is non-refundable, so you are strongly encouraged to submit it only after you have confirmed your plans
to enroll at Winthrop. Refer to your letter of admission for your deposit deadline.
(An enrollment fee is not required for students who begin classes in the spring semester.)
- Submit your immunization documentation. All students must present immunization documentation before registering for classes.
The medical form must be submitted to the Department of Health and Counseling Services
prior to class registration. Please note that documentation means a health care provider
or a health department must sign the form. For more information, you may call Health and Counseling Services at (803) 323-2206.
Immunization Non-Compliance Fee
In an effort to accomplish 100% Immunization Compliance for the health and safety
of our Winthrop community, a non-refundable $50.00 Immunization Non-Compliance Fee will be implemented. This fee is avoidable. ALL on-campus (not on-line only) students must satisfy all immunization requirements
by the first day of classes or this non-refundable $50.00 Non-Compliance Fee will
be applied to your student account.
Immunization Form
- Plan to become engaged on campus. Visit the Department of Student Affairs web site and click on Programs and Services to learn more about clubs and organizations,
leadership opportunities, Greek life, recreation, multicultural student life, and
service learning.
- Ensure that your legal presence is verified. The State of South Carolina requires that legal presence in the United States be
verified for all students before enrollment in a public college or university. For
most students, legal presence will be verified through a process that has been adopted
by the University. Some students may be required to provide documentation when they
participate in an Orientation. Complete information on the requirement can be viewed by clicking here.
Your personal admissions counselor and the entire admissions staff are available to
provide additional information to you and your family as you complete the enrollment
process. Go Eagles!
