Clear Your Holds for Registration

Students may see holds placed on their accounts for various reasons: some impact registration and others do not. We highly recommend students take action now on any holds they currently see on their accounts, and that students regularly monitor their student records—at least weekly—until registration to ensure they can take the appropriate steps quickly as to avoid any complications during the registration process.

Credit Hours Impact Billing

1/13/21

As the 1^st day of classes and the bill due date quickly approach, we wanted to remind you to check your schedule so you can make sure you are fully-enrolled and ready to start the semester off right. Your enrollment is the foundation of your student account as it can impact how you are billed and how your financial aid is applied.

Bill Pay Preparation

12/14/20

The process to generate the initial bill takes time as information must be loaded from multiple sources. Tuition must calculate for each student, anticipated financial aid must be loaded, housing and dining fees must be applied, etc. Review the information below to learn more about your soon-to-be Spring 2021 bill.

Holds & Resolutions

12/01/20

Holds can be placed onto students’ accounts for various reasons. Some serve simply as identifiers that show students belong to specific groups and do not impact students in any way (e.g., remoter learners), while others prompt action and may prevent students from registering, ordering transcripts, and receiving diplomas (e.g., academic advising). Learn how to view and remove common holds here.
