Students may have a number of different holds that affect course registration, access to grades and transcript requests. Below are a list of common holds along with the processes and contact information to resolve these holds.
PLEASE NOTE: This is not an exhaustive list of holds. To view holds and your specific registration day and time, click on Check Registration Status (View Holds) found on the My Courses card in myUVM.
AA: See Advisor Hold
Please connect with your academic advisor or Student Services in your School/College to discuss this hold and the process to have this hold lifted. If you are enrolled in a first-year seminar course, your hold should be removed within 48 hours of attending the class that covers course registration.
CA: Collections Account Hold
A collections account hold is used when an account has become delinquent and is being collected by our internal collections office. Students with this hold should call 802.656.4345.
DD: Due Date Hold
The due date hold indicates that a billed balance remains unpaid beyond the payment due date. Use the myUVM portal to research and pay your balance. The hold will be removed overnight after payment is posted to settle your balance. If you plan to settle your balance using a 529 savings plan, a private student loan, or other financial aid resources that are not already included in your financial aid offer, please contact Student Financial Services at sfs@uvm.edu or 802.656.5700 to provide those details.
FH: Financial Hold
Financial hold due to an unpaid balance due. Use the myUVM portal to research and pay your balance. The hold will be removed overnight after payment is posted to settle your balance. Please contact Student Financial Services at sfs@uvm.edu or 802.656.5700 with questions.
ID: ID Hold
We are missing your Social Security Number (SSN) or Individual Tax Identification Number (ITIN). While this hold will not prevent course registration, it is required in order to receive final grades and academic transcripts. For more information and to provide the missing information, please go to go.uvm.edu/w9s.
IH: Insurance Hold
This hold is added to students’ accounts who have not yet completed the mandatory online health insurance decision/waiver form. Up until September 15 for the fall semester and February 15 for students who are new/readmitted to UVM for the spring semester, students can complete the health insurance decision/waiver form within the open enrollment period. Once completed the hold will automatically be removed and charges will be reversed (if not accepting the insurance). Students who have holds on their accounts after open enrollment ends should contact the Student Insurance Office regarding this hold, as the waiver is no longer accessible. Please contact studentinsurance@uvm.edu with questions.
IM: Immunization Compliance Hold
Please upload additional documentation via the MyWellbeing portal by clicking on Medical Clearances on the left side menu. Please upload documentation for any immunizations that are “Not Compliant” by clicking the green update button. You can also review an outline of the requirements and instructions for submitting documentation. Holds do not get placed until October for the fall or March for the spring. Please contact health@uvm.edu with questions.
JH: Judicial Hold
A Judicial Hold (JH) placed by the Center for Student Conduct indicates that a conduct sanction has not been completed. This hold may prevent you from registering for courses and/or obtaining an official copy of your transcript. To have the hold removed, please contact the Center for Student Conduct at sconduct@uvm.edu or 802.656.4360 to discuss the outstanding requirement(s).
