Registration Hold Policy
Northern Michigan University places a registration hold on a student’s registration for classes when a student has not met conditions or obligations due the university. To have the registration hold removed, contact the office that placed the registration hold. The office that has placed the registration hold is the only office that can lift the hold. A registration hold may be placed for the following general reasons:
Assigned Reg Date Hold The Assigned Reg Date Hold is placed on all student accounts to prevent registration prior to their designated time and date. The hold will be lifted prior to registration. See my.nmu.edu or the Registration Week Schedule for your designated registration time.
