Transcript/Diploma/Enrollment Hold

Failure to meet obligations to Northwest, financial (i.e.: tuition, room, board, telephone, parking, library fines, class materials) or otherwise (i.e.: incomplete admissions file), will be cause for refusal to allow an individual to enroll, receive a diploma, or receive an academic transcript.

Guidelines

1. In financial situations, cases of exceptional circumstances will be considered.
   1. An exception to a hold on a transcript will be made when (1) a transcript is required by a funding agency in order for funds due the University to be released or (2) when financial assistance personnel have verified that all necessary paperwork has been completed by the student and that a sufficient amount of assistance to cover the student’s obligation will be forthcoming.
   2. Enrollment may be allowed at the discretion of the Bursar when there is reasonable assurance that funding will be forthcoming.
   3. No exceptions are made to a hold on a diploma.
2. In situations where an individual has not submitted all the required transcripts and/or ACT results, the dean of enrollment management or associate director of admissions may release a hold when there is reasonable assurance that the required materials are forthcoming. A hold may be placed on preregistration as well as general registration and verification of preregistration.
3. In other situations (i.e., disciplinary, etc.) the “holding” department will consider exceptional circumstances.
4. Appeals rest with the appropriate vice president or the Provost.
