Service Indicator (Holds) Glossary

Every student has holds placed on their account from time to time that may interfere with their ability to enroll or graduate. Most of these occur when they first enroll at the University, some are recurring, and some are situational. Some holds will block your enrollment and some even will result in de-registration.

All of these holds are explained in SOLAR and can be resolved online.  SPD cannot investigate or resolve any holds placed by other areas, so please pay attention to the contact information.

Here is a list of the most common holds SPD students will encounter, what they mean, and who you should contact for more information.  Again, not all of these holds will block your ability to register, but you won't know until you log into SOLAR and read the message to find out.
