This is a case where a young man's parents were not able to finish paying the school (the amount owed was less than $2000). The school withheld three years of records and now the young man (late 20's) wants more than a GED. His grades were good, including advanced placement courses. He would like to go on to college.

I would ask a lawyer if that is legal. I am not sure they can withhold all three years of records as its obvious his first two years were paid for in full. Also the suit would be against his parents or the adults who chose to send him to the private school. To be honest at this point a GED would be the best bet and to get on with college. The fight for his grades etc. would take longer than to go and get his GED. Remember once he graduates from college his high school transcripts are no longer important.

I would encourage the young man to take the GED test and then begin the process of pursuing either an Associates or Bachelors degree. There is nothing wrong with a GED, especially if you then go on to get an advanced degree.

I would see if the school can take payments towards it. If the man is now in his late 20s, why doesn't he try to pay the debt off himself? If he wants more than just a GED, that obviously means he wants to do something with his life and he has enough motivation.

flow to the prevalent public college without the records. opportunities are severe the prevalent public college received't settle for the non-public colleges records, fantastically if the college isn't accepted through a state known employer. we've many little ones who ensue at our public college without records. We position them through their age and appearing some casual checks. After a week or 2 we reevaluate their placement through consulting with the college room instructor. in certain situations we may be able to do a telephone convention with the non-public college or have the non-public college deliver us some unofficial records. the non-public college is a organization and is entitled to their expenses for service.

Go to the school and see if arrangements can be made to pay the money. I'm sure they will work with you because ultimately a school should be focused on helping students.

perhaps make a schedule showing good intention to meet the debt with sincere gratitude for the education..after all schoolboard members are also human and value their good name.. and then I would try to stick to the commitment. We only value things we pay for anyway.. I had a similar problem..
