you and want to assist in your transition by sharing important
information on admissions, health and counseling services and spring enrollment.
Please contact your personal admissions counselor for
additional information or assistance.
Evaluation of Transfer Credit
The evaluation of transfer credit is conducted by the student services office in each
academic college upon acceptance. Preliminary information on your transfer credit
will be available on Wingspan, the student portal, after transfer coursework has been
entered by admissions staff. Final approval for transfer credit is granted by faculty
and staff in the colleges.
After logging in to Wingspan at https://wingspan.winthrop.edu click on the
STUDENT tab and then click on the STUDENT RECORDS menu for the spring
2016 term. On the STUDENT RECORDS menu, select TRANSFER CREDIT.
Winthrop University is accredited by the commission on colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools to award bachelor’s, master’s and specialist degrees.
Winthrop University does not automatically evaluate transfer credit from an institution that is not accredited by the commission on colleges or higher education of a
regional accrediting agency.
If you have attended a college or university that does not have regional accreditation,
all of the courses taken at that college will be evaluated on an individual basis by staff
in the office of student services in the college under which your intended major resides.
If you are interested in a review of courses taken at a college or university that is not regionally accredited, you can submit a request to the applicable office of student services
listed below. If an evaluation cannot be completed based upon the course descriptions
in the institution’s catalog, you will be asked to provide course syllabi.
Note: If admitted to fine arts or design programs, students will need to submit a portfolio for studio courses taken at previous institution(s) before courses are evaluated.
