A Registration Hold (Past-Due Balance) is placed on your student account when your outstanding past-due balance meets or exceeds the university threshold (currently $3,000 or more). This hold may prevent you from registering for future classes until your balance is reduced below the required amount.

A Diploma Hold (Student Financials) is placed on your account when you have an unresolved outstanding balance and may prevent your diploma from being released until your financial obligation is resolved.

Why are these holds placed?
These holds help ensure that outstanding student account balances are addressed while supporting compliance with university financial policies.

How can they be resolved?
You can resolve these holds by making payments, satisfying your balance requirements, or working with Student Financial Services on approved arrangements.
