Course Registration: Clearing Holds
Students, with winter registration approaching, we wanted to provide some tips for planning your classes. Do you know about registration holds? A student may have a registration hold placed on their account for a number of reasons. This will prevent them from being able to register for courses. It is the student’s responsibility to clear the hold with the office that placed it.
To find any holds, login to MyLutherNet and click on the Registration tab. In the View Course section, under Add/Drop Courses, you will see the hold in a box with a red Alert message.
If you click on Add/Drop Courses, you will get an expanded message about the holds you have and how to clear them.

Holds are placed on registrations for the following reasons:
- Admissions Hold (email Admissions Office)
- Advising Hold (MA/MDIV/Cert) – (email Advising Office)
- Advising Hold (DMIN/PhD/ThM) – (email ATE Office)
- AR Hold – Outstanding Business Office Accounts (email Business Office)
- Candidacy Hold (email Contextual Learning Office)
- Title IX Hold (email Title IX)
- Writing Services Hold (contact the Writing Center)
Check your account today and allow yourself time to clear holds before registration opens!

Celebrating Native American Heritage Month
Our Native American heritage is celebrated especially throughout the latter half of October and the month of November. (In some places it replaces the October 12 celebration of Columbus Day with Indigenous Peoples Day.) Here’s Luther Seminary Library’s guide to Native American Heritage and Indigenous Religions of North America.
Course Registration: Syllabus Day
Students, with winter registration approaching we wanted to provide some tips for planning your classes. Did you know that Syllabus Day is the official first day of class? Professors and students can meet and walk through the course. Students may ask questions and professors may require assignments. Our Syllabus Day schedule is posted on MyLutherNet on the Registration tab under Registration Information each term when registration opens (scroll down to the end). We also provide the link in the daily announcements in the weeks leading up to Syllabus Day.
