Tips for Success

Resolve holds early: Financial holds may prevent registration or other university services. Paying a balance does not always release a hold immediately. Allow processing time before registration begins.

Check your financial aid: Aid shown as anticipated in Workday may still require additional steps before it can be disbursed.

Review the instructions and eligibility requirements for each action, and complete any required steps by the applicable deadline.
