Registration Holds
Please be aware that holds may be placed on a student’s records each semester to serve as a reminder to complete important procedures or provide important information to the university. These holds may prevent a student from registering for next semester’s classes until the outstanding task is completed. Students can view holds on their records in their Student Center. To view your holds, learn why a specific hold was placed, and who to contact for removal, view this Ask.Butler help article.

These service indicators are simply a way for the university to flag a record for administrative purposes. They do not prevent a student from registering for courses and do not require any action.
