Release of Diploma and Official Transcripts

A student who is delinquent in meeting their financial obligations to the institution will not be issued an academic transcript, degree, diploma, or other evidence of course completion.

In addition, any amount owed to FNU upon completion of a student’s program or withdrawal from the University must be paid in full before a student’s diploma or official transcript will be released. Any outstanding holds on a student’s account must be resolved before a diploma or official transcript can be released. If a student’s balance is not paid in full at the time the student would otherwise be scheduled to graduate, the student will not receive his/her final transcripts or diploma until final payment is made. The institution has 14 days after the student graduates, drops, completes, or any other “permanent out status” to process and close the student’s file. All transcript request, including expedited transcript request, will be processed after the student’s file has been processed and closed.

If a student pays their account balance with a check, it may take up to 21 days for the hold on their account to clear.
