Holds
Why do I have a hold on my account?
Holds are placed on student accounts for academic or financial reasons and generally require action from the student. If action is not taken consequences, such as not being able to register for classes or request official transcripts can occur.
You will usually be notified of an existing or impending hold by the office authorizing the hold. This information is also displayed on your SIS account (right side of page click details listed under Holds).
