I have a “stop” on my student account and cannot receive my diploma. How can I get this removed?
The most common type of hold placed on students' accounts is:
-
A Business Office Hold is placed on a student's account when there is a balance of $2,500 or more. If a Business Office Hold is placed on a student’s account, the student will be allowed to register for future semesters, but may be in jeopardy of being removed from those future classes if the balance is not resloved. The student will also not be allowed to receive their diploma.
-
A Graduate Registration Hold is placed on a student's account when there is a balance of $2,500 or more. If a Graduate Registration Hold is placed on a student’s account, the student will not be allowed to register for future semesters if the balance is not resloved. The student will also not be allowed to receive their diploma.
A Business Office Hold and a Graduate Registration Hold can be cleared from a student’s account by either making a payment to satisfy the balance or by making alternate financial arrangements with the Student Accounts and Collections Coordinator.
