🎓 Lifting Your Registration Hold

Continuing students (fourth term and beyond) must meet with their advisor at least once each academic year in either fall, winter, or spring term. During that meeting, you will review your academic plans with your advisor to confirm your long-term plan for the following academic year. Once the plan is confirmed, your registration hold will be lifted for the following academic year. We recommend meeting in fall or winter, as spring term is typically very busy and appointment availability before registration may be limited. Seniors: We strongly recommend scheduling an appointment early in the year in which you plan to graduate too ensure you are on track for graduation.
Students on academic warning or probation: You are required to meet with your advisor.
