Registration holds

Managing Your Registration Status

Registration holds are administrative actions that may prevent you from adding or dropping classes at WSU Vancouver. These holds are typically placed on a student record to ensure that necessary requirements, such as health records, financial obligations, or academic advising sessions, are completed before enrollment continues.

Understanding how to resolve these requirements is essential for maintaining your progress toward a degree. If you discover a hold on your account, identify the specific type of hold through your student portal and contact the corresponding department listed below. Resolving these items early helps ensure a smooth registration process.
