Bill Summary
Ensuring students' access to academic transcripts
AI Summary
This bill amends Massachusetts state law to prevent institutions of higher education from withholding a student's unofficial academic transcript solely due to the student's failure to pay any 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 where the student's tuition and mandatory fees have not been paid in full. For students paying on a per-semester basis, the institution may withhold credits or grades for any course taken in a semester where the tuition and mandatory fees have not been paid.
