Law regarding Higher Education
Can you please tell me what law gives Colorado State University the right to your academic transcript hostage while disputing a financial bill? The are refusing to release the transcript to me or another institution because they say I owe them money, which is being disputed. Can you help me with this question or at least tell me who to contact to ask?
Re: Law regarding Higher Education
Check your university's student regulations. Usually, there is a statement that indicates that a student must have paid outstanding fees in order to receive course credit, including transcripts. It is part of your "contract" with the university. However, if this would cause a hardship, e.g., you are unable to pay, then this term of the contract may be waived.
