    Winthrop University does not charge any extra fees for students who pay via credit card. We accept credit card payments via our cashier website (MasterCard, VISA and Discover).

    Hello Everyone!

    Are there any Universities, Colleges or Collection Agencies that charge an
    additional fee to cover the fee's charged for processing credit cards?

    Just curious!
