Public and private colleges can withhold your transcripts if you have an unpaid balance of any amount, or if you've defaulted on a student loan.

To get an official copy of your transcript, contact your school's registrar. In most cases, you don't even have to call or go in person; the registrar's office may have an online form for requesting your transcript.

Students affected under §640 can file a complaint with the New York State Department of Financial Services. Education Law § 640 solely prohibits a licensed private career school from withholding a transcript or charging a higher fee to obtain a transcript because of unpaid student date.

You can call the state department of education for advice on the issue. You can try to negotiate with the school to pay a part of the debt in exchange for the release of your official transcript. Last, you can call an attorney.

If the option is available, please request your final official transcripts be sent electronically to lps-admissions@sas.upenn.edu. Electronic submission of transcripts improves tracking and reduces processing time.

For requesting a transcript from the Bureau, please use the "Transcript Request Form" form. For additional information on recently closed schools, please visit bppe.ca.gov/students/guide.shtml. For assistance following the closure of your bureau approved school, contact the Office of Student Assistance and Relief.
