Holds on Records & Registration


C O N T E N T S

Overview

Holds prevent students from accessing services at the University. They may be placed on student records for a variety of reasons and must be removed by the initiating office.

A student may have holds placed on their record that could affect registration, enrollment, financial aid, campus services, and/or the release of diplomas and official academic transcripts for the following reasons:

  • Outstanding admission requirements
  • Failure to settle financial obligations with the University
  • Failure to respond to official notices

The University will release one unofficial academic transcript to a student with active holds. Unofficial transcripts are not printed on official transcript paper and do not bear the University seal.

Due to the COVID-19 Pandemic, diploma holds listed in the section that follows will not be enforced for students completing their degrees at the conclusion of the Spring or Summer 2020 terms. Diplomas will be distributed to all students, despite outstanding financial obligations to the University.
