Before You Register

Understanding Registration Holds vs. Registration Errors

• Active registration holds prevent registration in all courses and should be checked before you register.
• Registration errors prevent registration in a certain course or in a certain section of a course and may pop up after you try to register.

Meeting with an advisor before registration is important to help you avoid registration holds and errors.

Review Registration Holds

• A registration hold may prevent your registration until you have completed a certain action. You can review your hold information, including which department placed the hold, by logging into .
• Note that some holds only prevent future registration and may not be active for the current term.
• If you have any questions about your registration holds, contact the department that placed the hold.
