Holds

A “hold” is an action on a student record that prevents students from registering, receiving official transcripts, receiving transfer credit, participating in graduation ceremonies and/or graduating from the University. A hold is placed on a student’s record in the event an obligation or requirement to the University has not been met. These obligations/requirements can include:

Failure to make required financial payments as outlined on student invoice;
Failure to pay University fines including parking;
Failure to pay medical charges;
Failure to return University equipment;
Failure to return library materials;
Failure to meet required disciplinary sanctions;
Failure to provide required student record documents for enrollment;
Failure to complete reading, writing or math placement testing (if required);
Failure to meet academic or administrative requirements resulting in suspension as outlined in the University catalog;
Failure to maintain a deliverable mailing address with the University.

To determine the reason for a hold, the Office of Student Records should be contacted. To release a financial hold (except for the library), the Cashiers Office should be contacted. To release a document hold, the Office of Student Records should be contacted. To release a disciplinary hold, the Director of Student Life should be contacted.
