Holds - Registration and Transcript
A hold prevents students from accessing a university service
such as registration or access to transcripts. An action is
required by the student to have the hold released. There are many
departments across campus that are able to apply a hold on certain
services, and the OSU Collections Department participates in that
program. Holds will be placed on registration and transcripts if a
student's OSU student account is past due or delinquent.
To View Holds
Log onto Student Online Services.
Any holds placed on your account will be visible on this screen. Contact information for the department issuing the hold will be listed next to the hold type. Please note that not all holds placed on student records/registration originate from the Business Affairs Office.
Registration Holds
OSU policy requires that currently enrolled students pay their account balances down to at least $2200.00 before they can register for the next term. A registration hold generally exists because their student account exceeds $2200.00. Students who have missed a term other than summer, must have their entire balance paid before they are able to register again.
Cascades campus students are required to have their balance paid in full in order to register for the next term.
Transcript Holds
The OSU policy regarding release of transcripts states that a student must have his/her account balance paid in full in order to receive their transcript, official or unofficial. This means any balance relating to a term for which grades have been posted to your transcript must be paid in full before any transcripts will be released. For more information about transcripts, please contact the OSU Registrar's Office.
