A. Purpose
This policy is in response to Colorado HB22-1049.
B. Scope
This policy applies to all current and former students, excluding foreign students as defined in C.R.S. 23-1-113.5., who have an outstanding debt for tuition, room and board, or other financial aid funds owed to the school and request a transcript, diploma, or certificate. This policy also describes when a student may be subject to a registration hold.
C. Policy
1 Individuals may be subject to a transcript, diploma, or certificate hold when such individual owes certain debts to the School for tuition, room and board fees, or financial aid funds. Individuals will be subject to such a hold when payment has not been made within 60 days. If the student fails to pay after 60 days and the balance is over $500, the school will assign the debt to a third-party collection agency. If an individual is subject to such a hold, their transcripts, diplomas, or certificates will not be released unless an exemption applies as outlined in section 2 of this policy.
2 Exemptions are granted for individuals who can demonstrate that the transcript/diploma/certificate request is required for one of the following reasons:
1 Job application
2 Transferring to another postsecondary institution
3 Applying for state, federal, or institutional financial aid
4 Pursuit of opportunities in the military or national guard
5 Pursuit of other postsecondary opportunities
3 Process and Procedure for Exemptions: Upon submission of a transcript/diploma/certificate request and documentation to verify an exemption, the School will review the request and make a determination regarding whether or not an exemption exists, as outlined in section 2, above. If it is determined that the individual has a valid exemption, the School will release the requested transcript/diploma/certificate. If the School determines that the individual does not meet the exemption criteria, the School will provide a written explanation of the denial of the request within seven business days.
4 Registration Holds: Individuals will no longer be able to register or enroll for courses/classes if there is any balance due on their account that is past due more than 30 days.
5 Individuals have the option to establish a payment plan for an outstanding debt. An individual who wishes to establish a payment plan for a debt owed to the School should contact: info@manacollaborative.com (mailto:info@manacollaborative.com).
