Independence urges universities to share certificates to avoid debt-based detention
The Civil Society Committee for the Independence of the Judiciary and the Rule of Law called on the Ministry of Education and Higher Education to issue a circular instructing private universities not to withhold or seize academic certificates from graduates due to unpaid dues, in response to a judicial ruling issued by the Nablus Court of Appeals in June 2026. The ruling affirmed that the certificate is a legal academic right earned by the student once the requirements are fulfilled, and it cannot be used as collateral for a financial debt. It also stated that universities can pursue their debts through legal channels without infringing on the student’s rights. This comes amid difficult economic conditions and escalating crises, and the ruling is an important step toward standardizing legal practices in the higher education sector and safeguarding students’ rights.
