# How to recover collateral after liquidation

To understand how liquidations work, head to [this section](/overview/liquidations-and-the-stability-pool/liquidations.md). 

You will be notified if you are fully or partially liquidated. Partial liquidations can only happen during Recovery Mode. 

## Fully Liquidated

The shuttle will be closed when it is fully liquidated. You will lose all your collateral, but get to keep the borrowed $USC. In order to start borrowing more $USC, you will need to reopen a new shuttle. This can be done by clicking on the “Start Borrowing” button and follow the steps as outlined [here](/user-guide/how-to-borrow-usdusc.md).

## Partially Liquidated

*\*this status will only be applicable during Recovery Mode*

When you are partially liquidated, all of your $USC debt will be repaid, but there will be some collateral leftover. In order to borrow more $USC, you first need to retrieve any remaining collateral. You can do so by clicking on the  “Recover collateral” button.&#x20;
