Can the Registrar refuse to release an official transcript or diploma for a student who owes money to the University?
Yes. However, if there is a formal FOIPOP request, the University cannot withhold personal information from the subject based on money owed to the University by the applicant. The Act provides an applicant with a right of access to any record in the custody or under the control of the University, including a record containing personal information about the applicant. In this case, the University is required to provide a statement of grades to the student. It can refuse to issue an official transcript or diploma unless the student settles the outstanding account.
