IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT 'HOLDS'

WHAT IS A HOLD?

A hold is an administrative action placed on your student record preventing you from receiving transcripts, registering for or dropping classes, or receiving grades.

The hold is the result of a financial, academic, or administrative obligation to the university and will remain in place until the obligation is met. Holds will be released once restitution or compliance has been met. Check MyBHSU to see if you have holds that will prevent registration.

HOW WOULD I KNOW IF I HAD A HOLD?

Login to MyBHSU, and select 'BHSU Student', then click 'Student Profile'. In the black bar below your name and ID number you will find 'Registration Notices' and 'Holds'.

I HAVE A HOLD, WHAT CAN I DO TO GET IT REMOVED?

Below are some common holds you may see, and information about how to resolve them.

Transcript Hold - Conversion:
