Holds are placed on student records for various reasons and can be viewed in your student profile within POUNCE. Typically, an action is required by the student for the hold to be removed (e.g. payment, documentation, completion of a requirement, exit interviews, etc.). Financial holds are the most common and can be placed for any amount owed to the University. Most often, holds prevent registration, enrollment verification, transcript processing, or receipt of diploma.
VIEWING HOLDS IN YOUR STUDENT PROFILE
A list of holds added to your student record can be viewed in your student profile.
HOLDS INFORMATION
A list of holds that can be added to student records are outlined below by Hold Code. The list incudes the contact for removing the hold and any processes or activities affected by the hold.
If you have questions about a specific hold, please contact the responsible office.
REMOVING A HOLD
Once you have completed the action required to remove a hold from your student record, be sure to contact the responsible office and request for the hold be removed. Some offices remove holds daily, weekly, or monthly in an automatic process. Therefore, it is imperative that you communicate any special deadlines to the responsible office to ensure timely removal of holds.
