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
- Individuals may be subject to a transcript or certificate hold when such individual owes certain debts to the School for tuition. Individuals will be subject to such a hold when tuition and fees have not been paid in full. Outstanding debts over $200 that are over 30 days may be turned over to a collection agency. If an individual is subject to such a hold, their transcripts or certificates will not be released unless an exemption applies as outlined in section 2 of this policy.
- Exemptions are granted for individuals who can demonstrate that the transcript/diploma/certificate request is required for one of the following reasons:
- Job application
- Transferring to another postsecondary institution
- Applying for state, federal, or institutional financial aid
- Pursuit of opportunities in the military or national guard
- Pursuit of other postsecondary opportunities
- Process and Procedure for Exemptions: Upon submission of a transcript or 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 two, 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.
- 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: Director, Homeopathy School International, 727 Sheridan Avenue, Loveland, CO 80537, admissions@homeopathyschool.org, or phone 970-685-4613.
- Complaints pertaining to HB22-1049 may be submitted to the Colorado Student Loan Ombudsperson via email to CSLSA@coag.gov.
