SALC Hold

The SALC Account Hold

All senior auditors have a hold on their PSU accounts and it does NOT require any action. The hold prevents PSU from charging tuition and it is a reminder that auditors must work with the SALC office to get registered for courses. It may look alarming at first, but it is a "good hold" and it should NOT be removed.
