Pursuit of other postsecondary opportunities. 6. Process and Procedure for Exemptions: Upon submission of a transcript/diploma/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 2, 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. 7. Registration Holds: Individuals will no longer be able to register or enroll for courses/classes if the enrollment fee of $400 and/or 50% of tuition fees have not been paid by the start date of Module 1.
