Business Office Holds

A Business Office Hold is a method used to indicate to the student that he or she must see the Business Office regarding his or her account.

A Business Office Hold will prevent a student from registering in any further classes. Students who are not registered for courses are not permitted to attend class sessions. Holds prevent students from changing class schedules, obtaining transcripts, and activating meal plans to eat on campus, if applicable. Business Office Holds are placed for the following reasons:

Lack of Tuition and Fee Master Payment Contract
All students must complete a Tuition and Fee Master Payment Agreement.  Lack of a Payment Contract is the most common reason for being on a Business Office Hold.  This contract informs the student of their rights and responsibilities regarding payment of tuition and fees.

Behind on Payment Plan
Any student who is behind on his or her payment plan will be placed on a Business Office Hold.


Unconfirmed financial aid and/or financial aid problems
If a student is using financial aid to pay for all or part of his or her tuition and fees, this aid must be confirmed. Confirmation can be obtained by the Business Office when the student has formally accepted his or her financial aid award and turned in all of the necessary paperwork to the Financial Aid Office. To accept a financial aid award, the student must complete, sign, and return the Financial Aid Award Letter. It is then necessary to submit completed loan applications and any other information requested. Please contact the Financial Aid Office for further information.
