Maine Student Action

Some exciting news: LD 1838 has passed both legislative chambers and was signed into law by Gov. Mills earlier this week!! This will reform the practice of transcript withholding, which stops many students and graduates from accessing their transcripts or diplomas and therefore slowing their ability to enter the workforce or graduate.

USM Maine Student Action President Samantha Donley is happy to see this practice changed so future students like her aren't impacted by this harmful practice.
