After fall of 2012 I formally withdrew from a private art school. I left on good terms and was told that I was welcome back at anytime. Weeks later I submitted for my Official transcript and was given one weeks later without any issues. I transferred to a community college in the Spring of 2013 and have been attending since. Now that I am ready to move on to a University I need transcripts from the art school; however, this time they will not release them because of a balance due. In order to obtain the first Official transcript I could not have a balance on my account. How do I develop a balance to a school I am no longer attending? I asked several former students and discovered that this is an on going issue. Several have had to take legal action to settle things. Lastly while searching through my student loans online, I found that during the fall of 2012 I was awarded full loans but on July 11 2013 half the loans were canceled. I was already transferred and attending the community college at this time. What is the best course of action? I know that I do not owe them money. I never had any issues registering for new semesters, attending classes or obtaining my Official transcript when I withdrew. Thanks for any help.
