Policy Individuals may be subject to a transcript, diploma, or certificate hold when such individual owes certain debts to the School for tuition, room and board fees, or financial aid funds.

Exemptions are granted for individuals who can demonstrate that the transcript/diploma/certificate request is required for one of the following reasons: Job application Transferring to another postsecondary institution Applying for state, federal, or institutional financial aid Pursuit of opportunities in the military or national guard Pursuit of other postsecondary opportunities Process and Procedure for Exemptions: Upon submission of a transcript/diploma/certificate request and documentation to verify an exemption, the School will review the request and make a determination regarding whether or not an exemption exists, as outlined in section 2, above. If it is determined that the individual has a valid exemption, the School will release the requested transcript/diploma/certificate. If the School determines that the individual does not meet the exemption criteria, the School will provide a written explanation of the denial of the request within seven business days. Registration Holds: Individuals will no longer be able to register or enroll for courses/classes if the individual has an amount due to the school. Once the amount due is paid in full, registration hold will be removed. Individuals have the option to establish a payment plan for an outstanding debt.
