If a student has an outstanding balance of US$100 or more with the university, the diploma and official transcript may be held until the balance is paid. In that case, you receive written notice and may: pay the full amount, enter or continue an approved payment plan, or submit a written appeal within 10 business days. The hold is released within 2 business days of the balance being paid. This hold does not apply to students who receive U.S. federal funds.
