What does it mean if I have a “hold” on my account?
A hold means the student needs to take care of unfinished business. A student can have a hold on their account for a variety of reasons. The most common are: missing immunization records, outstanding parking tickets, tuition balance, course deficiencies, developmental courses or other monetary reasons.

Will a hold prevent me from registering?

After the first semester, students will not be allowed to register until immunization records are provided. Any student with a monetary hold will not be able to register until the hold is removed.
