How do I remove a hold from my account?

A "hold" is a notice that may affect your use of Quest, or your interaction with the University. If you owe fees or other goods, or have committed an academic offence, you may find a Hold placed on your account.

Holds may prevent you from receiving transcripts, or enrolling yourself using Quest. However, most holds can be removed. Contact the department(s) listed under the "Contact" heading to resolve any outstanding issues. Note: Some holds (such as parking fines or library fines) may also be resolved by paying the outstanding fees at The Centre.
