• Key Concepts: 
  An academic hold is a restriction placed on a student’s account in the SAP IS-HER-CM Student Lifecycle Management component. This restriction prevents the student from registering for classes, receiving transcripts, or accessing other services until the hold is removed. Academic holds can be placed for a variety of reasons, such as unpaid tuition or fees, incomplete paperwork, or disciplinary action. 
  
  How to use it: 
  In order to place an academic hold on a student’s account, an administrator must log into the SAP IS-HER-CM Student Lifecycle Management component and select the “Academic Hold” option from the menu. The administrator will then be prompted to enter the student’s ID number and select the reason for the hold. Once the hold is placed, it will remain in effect until it is manually removed by an administrator. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When placing an academic hold on a student’s account, it is important to ensure that all necessary paperwork has been completed and that any outstanding fees have been paid before removing the hold. This will help ensure that the student does not experience any unnecessary delays in accessing services.
