4 Common Holds to Avoid

The process of signing up for classes each term is called registration.  Unfortunately, many students miss their registration date and time, because they have a hold on their account.  These are the four most common registration holds you want to avoid:

1.  Outstanding debt with the school -

Pay any past tuition or fees before registration.  Sometimes outstanding debt is as small as an unpaid parking ticket or library fine, but it will still cause a hold on your student account - Contact the cashier's office at 541-383-7229 or pay your bill online.

2.  Placement test not taken (or outdated) -

At COCC, if you haven't passed a college writing and math class within two years of the placement test, you will be required to test again (the term before the test expires) so you can register.  Go online to schedule placement test or contact the CAP center at 541-383-7200.

 3.  Unmet academic advising requirement-

Academic advising is required for all degree-seeking students before registering each term.  Click here for more information about the academic advising requirement at COCC.  See this link for information about how to contact your advisor.  

4.  Academic Warnings (2nd or 3rd) - 

If you are on second or third academic warning, you will have a registration hold on your account until you complete the required paperwork and advising.  Learn more about Academic Warnings. 

Check for holds on your registration.  Check for holds at least two weeks prior to your registration date/time.  Then check it again the day before registration, just to be safe.
