Can the Registrar refuse to release an official transcript to a student who owes money to the institution for tuition fees, library books or equipment that has not been returned?
• Yes. The institution can refuse to issue an official transcript or official diploma unless the student settles the outstanding account but should issue a statement of grades to the student, instead. • However, if the student submits a FOIP request for a copy of his/her own official transcript or diploma, the institution would not be able to withhold this personal information on the basis that the student owes the institution money. Section 6 provides an applicant with a right of access to records in the custody or under the control of the institution, subject to specific and narrow exceptions. The institution would not issue an official transcript or diploma, only a photocopy of it.
