Holds

Holds are placed on student records to ensure completion of mandatory activities and documents. Holds are used to prohibit registration, release of official transcripts, and/or release of your official diploma.

Students are responsible for assuring that there are no blocks before registration. All registration holds must be cleared before registering each term through the My Student Center. Some holds may not be able to be cleared immediately, so check your hold status regularly.

You may check holds by doing the following steps:

• Step 1: Login to My Student Center using your UT Health SA domain User ID and Password.
• Step 2: Holds are displayed on the Tasks Tile.

Examples of Holds

Only the office responsible for placing the hold may release the hold. The following represent the causes of most, but not all holds:

The need to:

• pay citation fees
• prove completion of remaining prerequisites (updated transcripts)
• submit proof of immunizations
• submit a Criminal Background Check
• return ID/Card Parking Permit
• complete orientation
• check in with The Office of International Services
