Is withholding my transcripts while in bankruptcy because of the debt a violation of the stay?

More details to this question:
I'm about to file for chapter 7 and I have a question regarding transcripts and tuition. I attended a college in the fall and in November I got really sick and hospitalized and wasn't able to continue classes. The college returned a portion of my title VI loan and billed me for the tuition that they said I didn't earn. They have a transcript hold on my account. Is this dischargeable? Since they billed me for tuition they said the loan didn't cover?

It is dischargeable. You will have to report the returned loan money as an asset in your bankruptcy case.
