A registration hold prevents you from registering for courses online or without a signed add/drop slip from your advisor or dean’s office. In most cases, the hold is an advising hold, meaning you must meet with your academic advisor before you can register for classes. Other registration holds includes athletic holds for student athletes, social holds for students who have violated student conduct policies, or financial holds for students who still owe the university for the current semester tuition and fees or other charges such as housing, room and board, lock change fees, parking tickets, missing admissions requirements such as final transcripts or immunization records, insurance documentation for international students, or library fines.
Such holds must be resolved with the department who placed the hold prior to course registration.
Students who are on academic probation are not allowed to register online and my only register with their academic advisor or with a signed add/drop slip taken to the Office of the Registrar. Students on academic suspension or dismissal will also have holds that prohibit registration. To allow time to resolve any issues, students should check their hold records in myMU prior to the day you are scheduled to register for the next semester. Login to myMU, click the “Student” tab and click “Registration Status” on the right side of the page. If you have any active holds, you will see them here.
