Hold Policy
A hold may be placed to prevent you from doing one or more of the following: being admitted
or readmitted, enrolling, becoming registered, receiving your diploma or certificate,
or being processed for financial aid. Among the reasons a hold may
be placed are: past due financial obligations to any department, office, or unit
of the University, the need to obtain academic advising, or as a result of
judicial actions. A complete description of the reasons a hold may be placed and
the actions that a hold may prevent can be found in the Academic Programs section of the
University catalog.
In order to resolve, or clear a hold, you must contact the college/department/office which
placed the hold.
If you have a hold which prevents enrollment you will not be able to adjust your schedule
through the enrollment systems. This includes enrolling in a
course, adding, changing, or dropping sections. Enrollment holds will be listed
on your monthly and Registration Billing Statements and can be reviewed on
student.msu.edu
If you have a hold which stops diplomas, your diploma will not be issued to you.
If you have a hold which stops admission, you will not be able to be admitted or readmitted to
the University.
If you have a hold which stops financial aid processing, your financial aid application will not
be processed either in whole or in part.
