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.
