What is an advising hold and how do I have it removed?
An advising hold is a procedure used by departments to ensure that you receive appropriate assistance before you register for courses. Advising holds are typically used when students are placed on academic probation. If you attempt to register and encounter an advising hold, you will need to contact the Center for Student and Professional Services or the department that has issued the hold (Library for overdue books, UPD for unpaid parking tickets, etc.). In some cases, your hold can be discussed and removed by telephone. In other cases, however, the hold may require that you appear in person to discuss the reasons for your hold.
