Frequently Asked Questions   Holds

What are holds and how do you get them?

Students may have holds placed on their student record -- which could affect registration, enrollment, financial aid, and/or release of academic transcripts -- for the following reasons:

• Failure to comply with admission provisions
• Failure to settle financial obligations with the University
• Failure to respond to official notices

How do I obtain information about a hold and get the hold off my record?

Each student who becomes subject to a hold action is given advance notice and ample time to respond before the hold is actually placed on his or her record. In most cases, the hold must be released from the initiating office before a student may enroll in classes. You can obtain holds information on URSA.
