If your credit card was declined at the time of submission, you may want to check the account number to confirm the information was entered correctly. Otherwise, a decline means that funds were insufficient.

If you are using a Visa check card and the card was declined, you may want to call your bank to verify the limit the bank sets on these transactions.

If you do not pay your account balance by the due date, you may be disenrolled from your classes and lose eligibility for other services, such as receipt of diplomas.

Per State of Maryland regulations, unpaid accounts are generally considered delinquent at 90 days past due. At that time, an unpaid account is eligible for transfer to the State of Maryland Central Collection Unit.

Yes. UMGC's interest-free monthly payment plan gives you financial flexibility by allowing you to spread out payment for tuition and fees over several months. Instead of writing one big check to cover your college costs, you may make several smaller, more manageable monthly payments—and there are absolutely no interest charges, just a small nonrefundable application fee.

To enroll in the interest-free monthly payment plan, go to your Student Account Center in MyUMGC. Select the term in which you want to use a payment plan.

For more information about the monthly payment plan, please call 800-888-8682 to speak with one of our friendly and knowledgeable customer service representatives.

To prevent your account from being transferred to the State of Maryland Central Collections Unit, you can either pay the account in full or, if eligible, enroll in one of our prior balance payment plans. To check your eligibility for our prior balance plans, you may e-mail us at collections@umgc.edu or call us at 800-888-8682.

Unfortunately, enrolling in a prior balance payment plan will not afford you the opportunity to register for additional classes nor will it prevent you from being dropped from future course enrollment.

Please be advised that you may continue to receive notices until your balance is paid in full because all notices are sent to every student with a balance. As long as your monthly payments are made on time, a hold will remain on your student account to prevent further collection.

Once a balance has been transferred to the State Central Collections Unit, a collections fee of 17 percent is added to the total amount transferred. SCCU also reports all transferred balances to the major credit bureaus.

You must contact the State Central Collections Unit to make all payment arrangements. You can contact SCCU at 410-767-1220 or toll-free at 800-705-3493. You can also visit the .

Once an account has been paid in full at the State Central Collections Unit (SCCU), all requests for services (registration, diplomas, commencement reviews, etc.) will be restored. After payment in full has been made to SCCU, please have SCCU send us a "Paid in Full" receipt by fax to 301-985-7858.

Some students choose private or alternative student loans as a supplement or alternative to federal loans. Alternative or private loans are available to creditworthy borrowers and usually have higher interest rates than federal loans. Please note that some lenders may cover additional education expenses, including previous college balances.

UMGC does not endorse any specific lender or group of lenders. Please check with your bank or lending institution to find information on participating lenders, application requirements, interest rates, loan limits, and repayment options.

Due dates are assigned upon enrollment and referenced in the MyUMGC student portal.
