Advising Holds

Academic advising holds (and other holds) may appear on your student account at any time; they must be removed prior to registration. 

BSBA Academic Advising Holds

• First-Years and Sophomores have an academic advising hold placed on their account in the fall and spring prior to the upcoming semester's registration period.  Students are required to complete an online Canvas advising tutorial and quiz to have their advising hold removed.  Access to the Canvas tutorial and quiz is emailed to students in advance of the upcoming semester's registration period.
   
• Juniors and Seniors do not have an academic advising hold placed on their account (except for Hospitality Management majors).  We recommend that students schedule a one-on-one advising appointment with their major adviser to prepare for registration and stay on track to graduate. 

Active Holds

Prior to registration, please check for holds on a daily basis (new holds may appear anytime) to ensure that you do not have any unresolved holds prior to registration.  Many holds block registration and some can take longer to resolve.

How to Check for Active Holds

1. Log-in to myUSF.
2. Select Banner Self-Service (Student).
3. Select Student Profile.
4. Any active holds are displayed in the upper-right corner.
