Every year in Colorado, thousands of students have their transcripts or diplomas withheld as a result of unpaid fees. This practice prevents students from moving forward—getting jobs, transferring schools, or re-enrolling—trapping them in a vicious cycle by making it even harder to pay back their debt. We’re working to ban this practice in Colorado by passing HB22-1049, Prohibiting Transcript And Diploma Withholding. If you have an experience where your transcript or diploma was withheld, share it below! Your story will help us convince our legislators of the urgent need for this bill.
