Holds on Student Registration

Section I

1. The University of Oregon utilizes administrative holds to support student success and protect the institution's interests by enforcing policy.
2. Registration holds prevent course enrollment and should only be used when other options are not available, and the prevention of future enrollment is a reasonable consequence.
3. Registration holds may be proposed only to enforce university of administrative policy, laws, or regulations. UO units may only place holds that have been approved by the Academic Council and signed by the Provost or their designee.

Section II

For approval, proposed registration holds must meet all of the following criteria:

1. Prevention of future enrollment is a reasonable and intended consequence of noncompliance.
2. An alternative, less-restrictive option of comparable value is not available.
3. The responsible unit has capacity to effectively administer hold and adhere to best practices outlined by the Academic Council.
