Holds

Holds are restrictions on your account that require an action to be completed. They help ensure that students complete important tasks so they have the resources and meet the requirements needed to continue their journey at LSU. Holds may be related to required documents, university policies, health requirements, or other enrollment processes.

The good news is that most holds can be resolved on your own. We encourage you to review your account early, as some holds may take several business days to process after you've completed the required steps.
