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)
