Can a school withhold your transcripts if...?

Hello to all, so I'm a part of a program and we have been using the exit HESI exam as a form of practice and an indicator as to whether or not we would likely pass boards. I just graduated and in the middle of my last semester received an email from the Dean that because of our low passing scores from the previous semester nursing students. That it would now be necessary to receive a certain score, if not met, our transcripts would be withheld even after graduation. I checked our nursing handbook and it does not state that this is part of our program. Not to mention that this change was made IN THE MIDDLE OF OUR LAST SENIOR SEMESTER. My question is, that is it legally allowable to withhold our transcripts being sent to the state, if we do not receive the score that they state that they want us to meet?

    The purpose of these exit exams are to help predict first time NCLEX pass rates. If you cannot make a certain required score, you are more than likely not going to pass NCLEX. I know it may seem harsh and unfair to throw this at you at the last minute, but it really is for your own good. They do not want to send anyone to take that test that may not be prepared for it. It is all about pass rates, staying accredited and hopefully sending out qualified nurses. Good luck and study!
