When is a registration block or hold applied? There are several types of registration blocks and holds. Sometimes, a student may have more than one block at once. Here is a list of the most often applied registration blocks and holds: How does a student know if a registration block or hold has been applied? Registration blocks and holds are applied after a student has been notified about the need to do something (declare a major, pay a term bill, etc.) and should not be a surprise. Reading all notifications from Rutgers University officials and offices is an essential task for a successful student. Even with these notifications, students often realize that they have a registration block or hold when they try to log into the registration system and receive a message that they are blocked. At any time, a student can come in to an SAS Advising Center to inquire if they have any blocks or holds on their record. How is a registration block removed? In most cases, the student will need to do whatever they did not do which necessitated the need for the block or hold in the first place.
Rutgers University Guidelines
Registration Blocks and Holds
- Registration blocks, or holds, prevent students from accessing the course registration system. Some blocks prevent access for a particular semester, and some blocks prevent access for all semesters. Holds may also prevent a student from obtaining an official transcript or a diploma.
