Place and Release Holds

If you are unable to access your account online, you may have a transcript or registration hold. To view the hold information, go to: my.pdx.edu.

A Registration Hold will be placed on an account under the following circumstances:

• Prior term balance of greater than $100, or
• Current term balance of greater than $1000 (resident) or greater than $2500 (non-resident), or
• Terms and Conditions of Payment (RCAP) have not been signed, or
• Unsatisfied Perkins Loan requirement(s), or
• An account transferred to a collection agency, or
• An account with a stop payment or an unsettled return check, or
• An account that's been written off, for active collection.

If you have a Registration Hold, and you’ve recently paid your balance down to $0, your hold will be removed automatically by the next business day.  No further effort is needed on your part.  If only a partial payment was made, you will need to contact Student Accounts to discuss the release of your hold.
