REGISTRATION, TRANSCRIPT AND DIPLOMA POLICY WITH A FINANCIAL HOLD
Âé¶¹´«Ã½¸ßÇå University Registration, Transcript, and Diploma Policy with a Financial Hold Âé¶¹´«Ã½¸ßÇå University adopts the following guidelines for the processing of transcript or diploma requests by a current or former student with an outstanding financial obligation. This policy is in reference to the Illinois Student Debt Assistance Act (Public Act 103-0054) and Federal Regulation 34 CFR 668.14(b)(34). Institutions of higher education are required to outline steps for accessing a transcript or diploma when a balance still exists on the student account. This policy affects the Student Accounts Office and the Registrar Office. Either area can share more detailed information.
Complete payment of all charges (tuition, fees, housing, etc.) is due by the first day of class for the fall, spring, and summer terms; established employer reimbursement programs have a 6-week delayed due date. The full text concerning payment policy is located on the student’s Âé¶¹´«Ã½¸ßÇå University Financial Responsibility Agreement; this document is displayed for e-signature prior to registration.
If a student account bill or any monies due and owing Âé¶¹´«Ã½¸ßÇå University by the scheduled due date are not paid, aStudent Accounts Office financial and registration hold will be placed. The holds may prevent registering for additional current or future classes or receiving a diploma. A delinquent account may be placed with a debt recovery agency. Âé¶¹´«Ã½¸ßÇå University’s policy for providing a transcript or diploma and registration when there is aStudent Accounts Office hold is listed below in reference to the Illinois Student Debt Assistance Act and Federal Regulation 34 CFR 668.14(b)(34).
TRANSCRIPT
With aStudent Accounts Office hold, Âé¶¹´«Ã½¸ßÇå University will process an official transcript request for:
- Job application or any other employment need
- Transfer from one institution of higher education to another
- Pursue other postsecondary opportunities
- Join the U.S. Armed Forces or State National Guard
