Student Debt Management - Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions - SDM
  • 1.) What are my responsibilities regarding my debt to UCCS ?
    Always make sure Student Debt Management (SDM) knows your current address and phone number, even if you don't think you will be returning to campus. Pay the balance due immediately. If that is not possible, do not ignore the debt. Your ability to secure financing in the future may be adversely affected. Call Student Debt Management (719-255-3412) right away if you are having financial difficulties.
  • 2.) What if I never knew about the debt ?
    The University emails invoices to your student account each semester. The student is responsible for viewing and paying these invoices. Once the account is turned over to SDM, letters requesting payment are mailed out monthly until the account is sent to any outside collection agency. If you move, you are responsible for notifying SDM, the University, and the U.S. Postal Service of any new mailing address.
  • 3.) What is the phone number for State Central Collections Services ?
    303-866-6560.
  • 4.) When does SDM report my past due account to a credit  bureau ?
    SDM does not report your past due account to credit bureaus while you are in active repayment. However, if your account is transferred to Central Collection Services, you will be reported to credit bureaus.
  • 5.) Will my income tax refund be taken if my account at UCCS is past due ?
    UCCS is an agency of the State of Colorado, as is Central Collection Services and the Department of Revenue. If you are not voluntarily paying your account with Central Collection Services, they will use your income tax refund to offset your debt.
  • 6.) Will signing the Repayment Agreement for Past Due Accounts lift the stop on my records and registration ?
    No. The Repayment Agreement for Past Due Accounts will allow you to avoid Central Collection Services, but Finance Stops are only lifted when your account is paid-in-full.
  • 7.) How much interest will be charged if I have signed up for a repayment
    plan ?
    A service charge to cover collection costs may be charged up to 1% per month on the unpaid balance.
  • 8.) What is the minimum amount I can pay on a repayment plan ?
    Monthly payments are negotiated based on several factors, including how much you owe and the information provided on a financial statement. Unless financial hardships exist, repayment should be completed within a year.
  • 9.) Will I get a bill mailed to me every month if I'm on the repayment plan ?
    Yes. Instead of receiving the monthly collection letter, you will receive a reminder of your monthly payment with a tear-off return slip to send back with your payment. However, if you do not receive the reminder 10-days prior to your payment deadline, in order to comply with your agreement, you must send your payment (with your account info written on your check) to the SDM address so that it is received by your payment due date.
  • 10.) Why can't I get transcripts if I owe money to the University ?
    University policy prohibits the release of transcripts or other official documents (including diplomas) for students who have a past due balance with the University.
  • 11.) What if I have financial aid/ student loans that will cover my past due balance, but I need my stop removed so I can register for classes ?
    You must contact the Financial Aid Office for assistance in using loans to cover past due balances. There are certain policies and procedures that must be followed in these cases and many times certain types of student loans and aid cannot cover past due balances from previous terms.
