Holds & Notifications

Holds are indicators placed on your record that can prevent you from taking certain actions (e.g., enrolling in classes or requesting a transcript).

Notifications are important reminders or indicators that do not affect your enrollment or other activity on campus, but simply provide an indication of a status (e.g., course drop protection) or important reminder of actions that need to be taken in order to avoid a hold (e.g., immunization record submission).

Below is a list with details for how to get the holds and notifications removed, as well as a screenshot for where to find them in the student center.
