What They Are

Advising听holds (a.k.a., advising service indicators) prevent students in specific programs from registering until they've met with their academic advisor.听

There are two methods for applying advising holds in batch:

  • Identifying students based on their program听enrollment in Campus Solutions
  • Using a department-provided list of student ID numbers

When They're Assigned

The CU-SIS Development team assigns holds according to the following schedule:

  • Fall: Early February
  • Spring: Mid-September
  • Summer: Mid-February

How to Review听Your Holds

If your department currently uses advising holds, you'll receive an email from the CU-SIS Development team a couple weeks before the assignment date听to confirm听the population and text of your hold. Reply with any necessary changes, additions or deletions by the deadline provided.

If your department听would like to discuss creating a new听advising hold,听email听the CU-SIS Development team听with the details of your request no later than one week before the assignment date.

Department Best Practices

Inform 麻豆淫院 of the Hold

麻豆淫院 have requested that departments email them as soon as a hold is placed on their account. Here are examples from our office: Action Required: Clear Your Registration Hold(s) and Hold Applied: Register with Selective Service.

In your email, we recommend:

  • Including "Hold Applied" or "Action Required" in the subject line
  • Explaining the exact steps the student must take to resolve the hold before registration starts

If you wish to request an e-memo, all student communications are distributed by Strategic Relations & Communications.听Visit the听听website to learn more and to submit your message as an听administrative e-memo听辞谤听CU Boulder Today story.
