  7. The Holds section lists the student’s holds. This section displays negative and positive service indicators. Service indicators are flags in the system that restrict or provide services to students.

    Negative service indicators are not necessarily an indication that the student has done something incorrectly or had gotten into trouble. For example, all incoming students will have a negative service indicator before meeting with their advisor regarding course registration. Once the student has met with their advisor, this hold is lifted and they will be able to register for classes.

    Positive service indicators provide services to selected students. For example, prospective athletes may have this hold to indicate that they should contact their prospective coach with questions.
