Overview

Here you will find instructions on how to view active holds on your account. You will not be able to see previous holds that are no longer active or holds that will become effective in the future. You will only see live, current information.

Viewing Holds

There are two methods for viewing your holds.

Financial Responsibility holds

Financial Responsibility holds do not become active until the first day of registration; therefore, they will not be listed before that time.

For instructions on removing Financial Responsibility holds and avoiding them in the future, refer to the Financial Responsibility Statement resource page.

Method #1 - Registration Status

Search for the "Registration Menu" app in MyUWF.
Select "Registration and Planning".
From the options, select "Prepare for Registration", select the term that you would like to register for, then click "Continue".
