Definition of a Hold

Some holds signify the student is restricted from enrolling in classes and/or obtaining academic transcripts at Purdue University. Holds that do NOT prevent registration or obtaining a transcript are:

DD - No direct deposit authorization on file
RF - Financial Aid Refund Hold
RO - Bursar Recurring Payments
M1 - Initial Student Medical Insurance

Common Reasons for Holds

• Nonpayment of library fines, parking tickets, and residence hall bills
• Disciplinary action taken by the Office of the Dean of Students
• Poor scholastic performance
• Failure to meet immunization requirements

Dismissed or Suspended Students

• These students may still request an academic transcript.
• The hold will remain in effect until such time the student is officially readmitted by the Committee on Scholastic Delinquencies and Readmissions or the suspension is removed by the Office of the Dean of Students.

Confirm Course Experience Location

This hold is placed when you are registered in a course that requires an off-campus experience completing a field experience, clinical hours, a practicum, or internship.

Reporting mandates require Purdue University to verify the physical location of the experience when taking such courses. If this is not completed within 30 days of your email notice a registration hold will be place on your account.

If you will be graduating at the end of the semester, a transcript hold will be placed on your account.

Please follow these instructions:

1. Log into your myPurdue account.
2. Click on the Academic tab.
3. Under the Personal information menu, click on Confirm Course Experience Location.
4. Enter the information for where you will be physically located while completing the off-campus requirements for the course. *If the information there is correct, please click Verify.

Please be sure to provide the address information for the location of the experience.

Example: you are living in Indiana but are commuting to Kentucky each day for the course experience. Please provide the Kentucky address.

Additionally, if you move or information regarding your courses changes, it is your responsibility to update this information.
