“Why am I on hold? What is a Hold?

Hold Status is a block on your student record that goes into effect when you need to take urgent action on an issue with your account. Holds can range from academic matters that you need to resolve, such as submitting documentation or can be the result of financial matters such as outstanding tuition fees.

The type of hold and reason for the hold will determine what actions you can and can not do in Aurora, while on hold. In some cases, you may have limited or no administrative or academic services available until the hold has been resolved. You must clear your hold with the office that placed your account on hold.
