NOTE:  This policy is legally advised.  Effective January 1, 2020, the Educational Debt Collection Practices Act prohibits Districts from withholding a transcript on the grounds that the student owes a debt. 

 The District must provide a student or former student with written notice that he/she/they have failed to pay a financial obligation due to the District before the District commences any activity to collect the debt. 

 The District may not withhold grades or transcripts for a student or former student as a consequence of the student’s outstanding financial obligation to the District.  The District may not withhold registration privileges for a student or former student as a consequence of defaulting on a loan or loans under the Federal Family Education Loan Program only.  The District may withhold diplomas as a consequence for a student or former student of defaulting on a loan.
