Important information about holds on your academic record
- A hold on your record may block you from registering in courses or receiving a transcript or parchment, formerly referred to as a diploma.
- You may encounter holds for various reasons. For example, you may have to pay overdue tuition and fees or you may need to see an advisor before registering in courses.
- Check and resolve your holds before your registration appointment to avoid any issues registering in courses.
