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 from withholding a student's academic transcripts solely due to the student's failure to pay any loan payments, 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 student's tuition and mandatory course fees have not been paid in full. The bill applies to all postsecondary institutions, including the public higher education system, private occupational schools, and private colleges and universities, and requires the Department of Higher Education to promulgate regulations for its implementation.
