Hold Information

At least one week prior to your registration time you should check the system to make certain that you do not have any holds on your record.  You can do this on GWeb by clicking on “Student Records & Registration”, then clicking "Student Records Information", then clicking “View Administrative Holds”.

Holds can prevent you from registering, adding and dropping classes, receiving transcripts, obtaining grades, or graduating.  They are placed on students’ accounts for various reasons, such as money is due to the University; a student needs to meet with an advisor; the student immunization requirements have not been not met; etc.

Note: A hold can only be cleared by the office that placed it.

The hold screen will tell you who placed the hold.  The following is a listing of the most common holds, the name of the contact office, and a telephone number.
