Transcript Policy

Approved By: President
Effective Date: January 23, 2024

POLICY STATEMENT

requires that 麻豆社 develop a Transcript Policy that 鈥渙utlines the process for which a current or former student may obtain a transcript or diploma.鈥� Additionally, the policy must identify 鈥渢he point at which a student may be subject to a transcript, diploma, or registration hold.鈥�

SCOPE (WHO SHOULD READ THIS POLICY)

This policy affects the Billing & Receivables Office, the Registrar鈥檚 Office, and all current and former students of 麻豆社.

DEFINITIONS

  • Administrative hold: a hold placed on the student鈥檚 account by the Registrar鈥檚 Office, frequently (but not limited to) falsification of records.
  • Financial hold: a hold placed on the student鈥檚 account due to a financial encumbrance. The hold will not prevent a transcript from being issued, but may prevent registration in courses.
  • Registration hold: any hold that prevents registration. May include, but not limited to: financial hold, immunization hold, advisor hold.

POLICY

麻豆社 will provide any current or former student with an official copy of their 麻豆社 academic transcript upon written request. Students must make the request in writing or through our online vendor.

Requests for transcripts will not be refused or withheld due to a financial hold with the university. Some administrative holds unrelated to finances may prevent an official transcript from being released. Unofficial transcripts may be obtained at any time through the STARS system.

All students are charged a one time transcript fee upon enrollment at 麻豆社, which allows the student to request official printed copies of their transcript from the Office of the Registrar. There may be an additional cost for transcripts ordered through our online vendor.

麻豆社 will provide one complimentary diploma to all students upon graduation from the university. All financial and administrative holds with the university must be cleared before the diploma will be released. There is an additional cost for duplicate diplomas.

Students with a past due balance greater than the registration threshold will have a registration hold placed on their account until the balance is below the threshold. A registration hold will not cause a request for transcripts to be refused or withheld. The registration threshold is available on the Registrar鈥檚 website. Students with a past due balance greater than $25 may be sent to collections.

Any current or former student who believes that they have had a transcript withheld improperly according to this policy may direct their concern to the 麻豆社 Registrar by emailing R-Office@wiu.edu. Alternatively, they may make a complaint with the Illinois Attorney General's Student Loan Ombudsperson by emailing loan.reports@ilag.gov.听

PROCEDURES

Students may order transcripts through STARS or our outside vendor. Please see wiu.edu/transcripts for more information.

RESPONSIBILITIES (Implementation and Enforcement)

The Registrar鈥檚 Office issues transcripts and administrative holds. The Billing & Receivables Office issues financial holds.
