What are reason a college might hold your transcript?

Question

I would like to know all the reason a college might decide to hold your transcript?

Answer 1

It's usually because you owe them money.

My local college will put a hold on transcripts if:

1. You have unpaid tuition or fees.
2. You have an overdue library book.
3. You have an athletic hold (you borrowed equipment and did not return it.)

Contact the admissions/enrollment center of the college to find out why there's a hold and how to resolve it.

Answer 2

Yes, you should check with the registrar just in case, but I would be extremely surprised to learn that there is any indication of the Incomplete on your transcript. That has never been the case at any school whose Incomplete policy I've known anything about. The I is only a place-holder. If you finish the class by submitting all the work, it will be replaced by the grade you earn. If the class ends because you don't do the work (and I don't expect that will be an issue here), it will be replaced by an F. All anyone will see -- I am convinced, based on my own experience -- is the final grade. I had a student once whose I turned into an F. A few years later we heard from the dean about this unfortunate student who had been doing passing work up until a crisis that torpedoed the student's performance on the final and the professor and teaching assistants were all completely unsympathetic. (We had arranged for the student to "take" the class for 2 additional semesters beyond the time the student was actually enrolled, and we had gotten the same silence after the student vanished, and then the same excuse for not taking the final, 3 semesters in a row, right down to the same relative dying in the same way on the date of 3 final exams, but the student had been failing all along.) The dean was very surprised to learn that we had worked with the student for 3 successive semesters even though the grade should have been an F at the end of the first semester, and that the student had done pretty much everything possible to fail, including never taking a single test for the entire 3 semesters. The dean hadn't even been able to tell from the records that the student had an Incomplete the first time. I like that deep blue at twilight, right before the sky goes navy blue and the stars come out.

Answer 3

Outstanding balance. I don't know of any other reason.

You outstanding balance could be from ANYTHING. Maybe they charge per transcript request (my college does 2 freebies then charges $3 per transcript. What a rip!).

Answer 4

The person owes money to the school or possibly has books never returned to the library.

Answer 5

Only one reason, you owe them money.

Answer 6

you owe money
