Introduction

Holds are “indicators” on your student record that require your attention and action. There are many kinds of holds, from “advisement” to “undecided major.”

For example, an Advisement Hold means that you must meet with your academic advisor before enrolling in classes. Some holds, called Registration Holds, block enrollment in classes.

Check for holds occasionally in order to clear them. You can view holds online in two locations:

  1. Registration holds only – in My Checklist
  2. All holds - In the SOLAR Student Center

Navigation to these two locations is easy. Read on.
