Release of Diploma and Official Transcripts

A student who is delinquent in meeting their financial obligations to the University will not be issued an academic transcript, degree, diploma, or other evidence of course completion until such delinquency has been satisfied in full.

In addition, any amount owed to the University 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. However, if any student (active, graduate, or withdrawn) has a remaining balance and the monthly payments set up to cover such debt have been paid consistently for three (3) months preceding (or, for payment plans that are less than three months old, in the University’s reasonable discretion) any transcript request, the University will provide directly to employers or other institutions copies of the transcript upon the student’s request. Any outstanding holds (financial or non-financial) on a student’s account must be resolved before a diploma or official transcript will be released. The University has 14 days after the student graduates, drops, completes, or achieves any other “permanent out status” to process and close the student’s file. All transcript requests, including expedited transcript requests, 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. The University will not issue an academic transcript, degree, diploma, or other evidence of course completion until their account is cleared.
