Stuck in admissions process

[pacha007]

There are some new rules regarding the release of transcripts with financial holds, see: https://www.forbes.com/sites/edwardconro...o-college/

If those rules do not apply to you, unfortunately you are very limited in options. You could always call the original college and ask if starting a payment plan will release the hold and/or ask for some of the outstanding debt to be forgiven.

Thank you for your reply.

Unfortunately, it seems that these exceptions don't apply to my situation. This is so frustrating. The deadline for submitting the documents is tomorrow and I won't be able to apply for the next term. Months of studying on sophia and coursera will go down the drain!

Yea, like RiverM stated, if you owe money to the school, they can hold your transcripts ransom until that debt is paid. Your only recourse is to contact the university and try to work something out so they will release your transcipts. Once UMPI is aware that you have a college transcript out there somewhere for courses attempted, they MUST receive that transcript as that is a DoE requirement and Federal Law. You will not tbe able to matriculate into UMPI until that requirement is satisfied. If you can't work out anything with the previous university, you could try TESU or another school instead, but don't mention the other college this time.

Thank you for your reply. I will look into TESU and TAMUC, but too bad I can't get admitted into UMPI.
