Blocks colleges from holding veteran transcripts over unpaid school debts
This bill would stop colleges from holding back transcripts from veterans who used their Post-9/11 education benefits, even if they owe the school money. Currently, schools can withhold these transcripts until debts are paid. If this bill becomes law, veterans would be able to access their academic records without this barrier.
Currently, schools can withhold transcripts from individuals who used Post-9/11 educational assistance if they owe the institution money. If this bill becomes law, schools would be prohibited from doing this solely because of an outstanding debt. This would ensure veterans can access their academic records.
