Financial Holds
Student Accounts' Staff make use of 3 different types of holds. Below is a description of the Holds that may be applied to your student account.
FH (Finance Hold)
If your payment is not received by the payment deadline or as defined by your payment plan, or if financial aid is not credited, or if miscellaneous charges go unpaid, your account will be placed on a financial hold and your current registration may be subject to cancellation.
A financial hold prevents the student from receiving any services from the University until the balance is paid in full. These services include, but are not limited to, registration for courses, copies of transcripts or diplomas, and utilization of University housing and meals. To resolve or inquire about a financial hold, contact Student Accounts.
FT (Student Accounts Transcript Hold)
Student Accounts and the Registrar use an Automatic Hold/ Release system to speed up the processing time of transcript/ diploma requests. The FT hold prevents the release of transcripts and diplomas only, i.e., this process does not prevent registration. Having unpaid charges on your account, making a check payment within the last 14 days or having a returned (NSF) check on your account will cause an FT hold to be placed on your student account.
FR (Payment Restriction Hold)
When Student Accounts' Staff determine that a student's online check payment/ remittance privilege and ability need to be suspended, staff place the FR hold on the student's account. Once in place, the hold suspends students and Authorized Users access to make online check/ ACH payments to the student's account. Students whose accounts have an FR hold can still make payments with certified funds (cash, cashiers' check or money order) in the office or through the mail.
