****************** did in fact, request her diploma from the Dorsey College ***** Campus. It is Dorsey Colleges policy and standard practice within higher education that if a inactive student or graduate has a tuition balance, then their diploma is not released until the balance is resolved. With that said, Dorsey is willing to work with graduates that are seeking employment by confirming graduation directly to the employer with acceptable documentation. Upon receipt of this BBB Case, Dorsey College ********************* ******************* reached out directly to ****************** and communicated with both ****************** and the employer. On March 21, 2023, we provided a letter of completion to ****************** and a copy of Ms. ************** to the employer.
We are confident that ****************** has what she needs to meet the employers request.
Thank you for this opportunity to respond.Customer response

*******************************A emailed copy was sent to a possible employer. From they copy of the email it looks like my last name could possibly be spelled incorrectly. Do they not release diplomas at graduation. So no ones gets a diploma until the loan is paid in full? Part of my student loan was a Pell ***** do they know they are holding students diplomas hostage?

Upon receipt of the green light, the Director of ******* will send the students certificate of completion to the ************** ***** of ******* as required by the ******** ********** of ********* and Regulatory Affairs.
As of to date, **************** has never achieved the greenlight.

Ultimately, she was not successful at acquiring eligibility for the NCLEX. She has also been unsuccessful working/testing in Passpoint, the alternative option utilized. **************** has no showed or canceled at least 12 times when she was scheduled to complete an assessment.Also, she has sporadically, at best, attended tutoring. She has attempted hundreds of practice assessments but has only completed five recommended remediations.

The ***** campus Program Manager has personally worked with numerous students before and during COVID that followed her guidance and recommendations and are now Licensed Practical Nurses.
