Please Note!

Due to the variety of Summer terms, your Fee Payment Deadline is based on when you enroll in courses. See our Billing Schedule & Deadlines for more information.

• If you register for Summer courses after June 30th, the balance due must be paid in full by the corresponding Fee Payment Deadline on July 9th. 

You must enroll in a plan online through the Account Portal during the enrollment window.

• Instructions: Log into Wingspan, locate the Account Details card, then click Account Portal. Once you are in the portal, click Enroll in Payment Plan (button under the balance due). Select the payment plan option you wish to enroll in and continue.

A downpayment is due upon enrollment. The downpayment protects the students' course schedule from being dropped after the Fee Payment Deadline.

You must enroll in a payment plan each semester you want to utilize a plan for.

For the course schedule to be protected from cancellation, the students must enroll in the payment plan by completing first installment (downpayment due upon enrollment) in full by the published Fee Payment Deadline. The remaining balance is paid to the University through the remaining installments.

• Students will receive an automated payment reminder from the payment plan.

All current academic fees, course/lab fees, room and board costs, and other required fees may be included.

Please note: Any fees or charges for the semester that were applied (or financial aid canceled) after the payment plan was established will be recalculated into the remaining payments. 

The plan is optional -- students may still elect to make full payments by the scheduled Fee Payment Deadlines

All students in good financial standing with the university are eligible to enroll in a Winthrop Payment Plan!

• The students' prior terms' cumulative balance due must be paid in order to enroll.
• Students who have not made their payment plan payments on a timely basis or have multiple returned checks may lose the right to participate. 

Winthrop University assesses an administrative fee of $25 each for the Fall and Spring semesters to offset the additional cost of record keeping and billing.

The University will assess a delinquent charge of $50 for each payment due that is not received as scheduled.

Checks returned by the bank will be subject to a returned check fee of $30 in addition to the delinquent charge.

• Students who have not made their payment plan payments on a timely basis or have multiple returned checks may lose the right to participate. 

The payment plan is interest free!

Payment amounts are determined by your total balance due divided into the number of installments of the selected plan.

• For example, if your remaining balance due including financial aid is $2,000 and your selected plan has 4 payments, then your payments will be ~$500.

The University will accept any advance payments the student may wish to prepay towards their bill. This reduces the total balance due and, therefore, the amount to be paid per installment throughout the semester. 

Please note: Any fees, charges, or aid for the semester that were applied (or financial aid canceled) after the payment plan was established will be recalculated into the remaining payments. 

Financial aid awarded and accepted (excluding Federal Work-Study) through Winthrop may be used toward computing the amount budgeted through the plan. This aid should be reflected in the Account Portal.

Additional forms of aid, such as outside scholarships or certain types of VA payments, cannot be deducted without first completing the preliminary requirements.

No - we cannot create customized plans.

• Payment amounts are determined by your total balance due divided into the number of installments of the selected plan.
• The University will accept any advance payments the student may wish to prepay as a credit to the bill. This reduces the total balance due and, therefore, the amount to be paid per installment throughout the semester. 

The University will assess a delinquent charge of $50 for each payment due that is not received as scheduled. Furthermore, the University reserves the right to assign your delinquent account to a collection agency and you will be responsible for all associated collection fees.

Checks returned by the bank will be subject to a returned check fee of $30 in addition to the delinquent charge. If a returned check is not made good in a timely fashion, Winthrop reserves the pursue legal efforts to collect.

• Students who have not made their payment plan payments on a timely basis or have multiple returned checks may lose the right to participate.
