Payment Agreement Hold
Every new upcoming semester all students need to review and agree to the Payment Agreement terms prior to being able to register for classes in the new term. Once you complete the Payment Agreement steps, the Payment Agreement hold will release, allowing you to register in classes. Completing the Electronic Consent and Electronic Payment Agreement is completely online from your SIS account, prior to your registration date. If you do wait to electronically sign the Payment Agreement until your registration date, the process is very simple and should not delay your registration more than a few minutes. For more information, see Payment Agreements.
Effective Summer 2021 the Electronic Payment Agreement location on your SIS account and the steps to complete the agreement are changing.
How to know if you have a Payment Agreement hold:
Uncompleted Payment Agreements will have a Payment Agreement hold. The red box in the image below shows the holds area of your SIS account on your Student Center page.
