Students should check account balance
Students who have not paid the additional enrollment fees mandated by the state have holds placed on their records, according to Sue Vaughn, director of enrollment services.
These holds prevent students from adding, dropping, registering or obtaining transcripts, certificates or degrees until the fees are paid. Students can verify their account balances on the Web or through the telephone registration system.
