Holds: Diploma/Enrollment/Transcript
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
- Financial situations: transcripts may be released with a financial hold, but a reasonable attempt should be made to clear the hold with Student Account Services.
- Enrollment may be allowed at the discretion of the Bursar when there is reasonable assurance that funding will be forthcoming.
- No exceptions are made to a hold on a diploma.
- Admissions: an exception may be made under the following condition:
- If an individual has not submitted all the required transcripts and/or ACT results, the 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.
- Other situations (i.e., disciplinary, etc.): the “holding” department will consider exceptional circumstances.
Appeals rest with the appropriate Associate Provost or the Provost.
