Winthrop University and Barnes & Noble Bookstore have teamed up to help students to use their pending refund/credit to purchase textbooks and supplies before classes begin.

To view your account balance, log into WINGSPAN, click on Account Summary and Payments. Students must have a credit (negative) balance to be eligible.
Students will only be allowed to purchase textbooks and supplies between the timeframe set by Student Financial Services and communicated to students through a Wingspan announcement each term. Winthrop will begin to process student refunds a week before classes. At that point, students will either need to wait on their refunds to be processed and received, or purchase their books out-of-pocket while they wait on their refund. We highly encourage all students to sign up for Direct Deposit for Refunds in order to receive their money as quickly and safely as possible.
Yes! Students may use their credit to purchase textbooks online. When you select your payment method, please choose "Student Account/Financial Aid Credit" as your payment option, and use the 214# on the front of your Student ID (not your W#). Please contact the bookstore at 803/323-3800 if you have questions about purchases online.
