Bill Summary
Relative to students' access to academic transcripts at institutions of higher education. Higher Education.
AI Summary
This bill prohibits institutions of higher education in Massachusetts from withholding a student's academic transcripts solely due to their failure to pay loans, fines, fees, tuition, or other expenses owed to the institution. However, the institution may still withhold a student's academic credits and grades for any course for which the tuition and mandatory fees have not been paid. The bill applies to public and private postsecondary institutions, and the Department of Higher Education is required to promulgate regulations to implement this new law.
