FAQ - Account Holds

Q: I am trying to register for classes, but my student account has an enrollment hold on it. What do I do if I have an enrollment hold on my student account?

A: Enrollment holds may be placed for a variety of reasons. Two common reasons are a past due balance, or an incomplete to-do list item. Please check your MyUCSC regularly for any actions that you may need to take in order to have the hold removed.

If you require further assistance, please send an e-mail to sbs@ucsc.edu requesting the information regarding the hold, or call (831) 459-2107 for assistance.
