Financial Holds

All students are expected to clear any outstanding financial holds from their records in a timely manner.

If you have a financial hold (i.e., fine) on your record, you will not be able to:

  • Register for classes
  • Obtain or order your official transcripts
  • Obtain your degree parchment
  • Obtain or order your Certificate of Degree

You are advised to clear the hold on your record with the appropriate department(s) as soon as possible. Please note that depending on a department's resources, the hold may not clear off your record for one to two business days. Keep this in mind when Add/Drop deadlines are approaching; you may wish to inform the department that you need to register, so that department staff can clear the fine off your record as soon as possible.
