The university reserves the right to place holds on student records when obligations to the university have not been met. Obligations may include, but are not limited to:

• Academic advising
• Outstanding account balances
• Incomplete admissions documentation
• Conditional admission requirements due to GPA
• Library fines
• Parking fines

Holds may restrict a student's ability to register for courses, obtain transcripts, receive a diploma, and/or participate in other university-related activities.

Financial Obligation for Graduating Students

In accordance with Texas Education Code § 54.007(c), all financial obligations to the university must be paid by the end of the semester. Failure to settle these obligations will result in the withholding of a student’s diploma at graduation. Additionally, a block will be placed on the student’s account, preventing registration in subsequent semesters.
