I know that everyone has their academic requirements (complete their degree, or exceptions based on if they are within x number of credits of completing). Do you take into account if they still have an outstanding balance with the school?<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:black">We traditionally have allowed students to participate if they have met the academic requirements, but may withhold their diploma and any
transcripts they have requested if they still have an outstanding balance owed to the school. Once they have paid in full, we release their transcripts and diploma to them.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:black">We've had some new personnel who would like to make some changes to our policies around commencement. If a student has an outstanding balance,
they are not allowed to participate in commencement. I have my concerns about that, largely because we only have one ceremony a year, and I feel that it's important to the students to be able to walk with their classmates--they've earned their degree after
all. I feel that withholding the official documentation to prove it is enough incentive to settle their balance.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
