Most holds can be removed by reviewing the provided information and confirming acknowledgment. Holds are applied each semester but will become annual starting Fall 2024.

Placed on accounts with unpaid balances 30 days past the deadline. This hold prevents enrollment and diploma issuance but does not affect deferment or transcript orders. To remove the hold, the full balance must be paid. For payment details, see Paying Your Past Due Debt.
