Business Office Hold

A business office hold is placed on a student’s account because of an outstanding balance.  This hold prevents a student from registering for additional classes in current or future terms. Once payment is received for the past-due balance, the hold will be removed from the student’s account.

Possible reasons for an account hold:

• A student has not paid tuition, fee, and/or bookstore balance from current or previous semester
• A student has an unpaid payment plan
• A student has had a change in a financial aid award
• A check or credit card used for payment is returned
• A student has an unpaid library or parking violation

How to resolve a hold

• Contact the Business Office Accounts Receivable Department to inquire about the hold and resolution options.

Where to find holds

• Students can view their holds on Self-Service

Past-due balances can be placed with a third-party collection agency and submitted to the N.C. Department of Revenue’s Debt Setoff Program for garnishment of your state income tax refund and/or garnishment of any N.C. lottery winnings.
