information on admissions, health and counseling services and fall enrollment.

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 fall 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.
