Once set, these holds will prevent students in those programs from registering until they've met with their academic advisor.

If your departmentÌýwould like to discuss creating a newÌýadvising hold forÌýSpring 2024, emailÌýthe CU-SIS Development teamÌýwith the details of your request byÌýThursday, Sept. 12.

Review Your Holds

If your department currently uses advising holds, you should have received an email from the CU-SIS Development team last weekÌýto confirmÌýthe population and text of your hold. Reply with any necessary changes, additions or deletions by Thursday, Sept. 12.

If your department's advising holds are assigned using an SID list, submit your listÌýbyÌýnoon on Wednesday, Sept. 18. Lists submitted after that date will be processed in the order in which they're received, allowing at least two business days for processing.

Notify Your Students

To support student success, academic departments are responsible for notifying their students when an advising hold is placed and for providing a clear explanation of the steps the student must take to have it released.

If you wish to request an e-memo, student communications are distributed by Strategic Relations & Communications using ²ÊÃñ±¦µä Today and associated campus communication tools.ÌýVisit the website to view the different tools (e.g., ²ÊÃñ±¦µä Today stories ²¹²Ô»åÌýadministrative e-memos) and submit your message for campus audiences.

Release Holds Promptly

Advising holds include a timeline for release (e.g., "After you've met with your advisor, your hold will be removed within three business days"). Please remove the advising hold as soon as you can after the student has received advising to ensure compliance with this timeline.Ìý

For step-by-step instructions for both manual and batch removal, seeÌýourÌýadvising holds page.
