Registration Holds and Required Verifications
Registration Holds
Students are responsible for making sure they have resolved any holds that would prevent course registration. Registration holds can be placed on a student for various reasons. It is essential for students to take action to clear their holds in advance of their assigned registration date.
How do I know if I have a registration hold?
- Click on the Registration Tools tile in MyPortal.
- Click on the Prepare for Registration link to view your registration eligibility.
- Select the Term for which you plan to register.
- Click the Submit button.
- The next screen will indicate whether or not you have any holds that would prevent registration.
- If you have a hold on your account, the department listed as "Originator" placed the hold on your account.
- It is best not to wait until your scheduled registration day to resolve a hold.
How can I resolve a registration hold?
Only the department who placed the hold can remove the hold from your account. For example, only the Treasurer's Office can remove a Treasurer hold. Here is a list of common registration holds and contacts:
