Registration holds prevent students from registering for courses. They are most often established because the student is required to meet with his or her advisor prior to registering or because the student owes money to the university. Registration holds must be resolved before a student can register online via myNKU.
The student can still search for courses and place them in the registration cart, but the student must contact the office or department that placed the hold and resolve the issue before being able to register. For advising holds, the student should contact his or her academic advisor to make arrangements for clearing the advising hold.
If a student has a fee-related hold, the fee must be paid before the hold will be released. Please contact the office that placed the hold for information on what steps may need to be taken in order to have the hold cleared (see chart below).
Table Notes:
Hold Description = How hold is seen in myNKU
Contact Regarding Hold = Whom to contact to have the hold remove
Add/Chg Course = Means that the hold prevents a course to be added or changed on the student record
Transcripts = Means that the hold prevents the ordering of a transcript
Grade Report = Means that the hold prevents the student from printing the grades report in Student Self-Service
Diploma = Means that the hold prevents the printing/mailing of the student’s diploma
