Transcript Holds

Transcript holds prevent current and former students from obtaining transcripts. Holds can be viewed in a student's Academics Worklet in Workday and in their Student Profile in Workday.  

  • When ordering an official electronic transcript: Holds must be resolved before you can place an e-transcript order via the National Student Clearinghouse.
  • When ordering a paper transcript in Workday: All holds must be removed before students are allowed to enter the transcript request.
  • When ordering a paper transcript via the transcript request form (PDF): Students must contact the Registrar's Office once all holds are removed before the request can be processed.

The following is a listing of common transcript holds:
