At this point in order to have your alternative loan disbursed please put in writing that you would like your alternative loan for Fall/Spring. Please also include in your statement that you are aware that the refund check you should receive for the Fall and Spring will need to be paid directly to the state collections unit (SCCU). Your refunds will will not cover the total amount due to collections because the second portion of your alternative loan will be applied to your Spring bill. A second alternative loan will be needed so that you can pay off your collections amount. Your parent could also take out a parent plus loan. Include in your statement that you will be applying for a second alternative or parent plus loan.

I have already confirmed your payment to collections in the amount of $2130.35 on December 16th. Once we receive this statement we will be able to give you registration clearance. Please note that UMBC will be closed 12/14/03-1/15/04. I would recommend confirming receipt of your fax by calling 410-455-1094 or 410-455-1319. When calling to confirm please ask to speak with the counselor on duty. Please note that we are making a one time exception to our office policy.
