Question of the day
There's a hold on my enrollment. What do I do? That depends on your hold, actually. Most holds result from unpaid fines, such as parking tickets or library overdue charges. The way to clear fines is by paying off the right department. Some schools will place a hold on enrollment until you receive advising or some other kind of approval, in which case you'll just have to go through that process first.
