Account Holds & How to Clear Them

What Is a Hold (Service Indicator)?

A hold — also known as a service indicator — is a notice placed on your student account in BroncoDirect.

Holds can do one of two things:

 

  • Positive Service Indicator: These are strictly informational and do not negatively impact services, such as "Classes Saved".
  • Negative Service Indicator: These can negatively impact services such as enrollment and issuance of diploma.
  •  

If you see a hold on your account, read the message carefully to determine if it will have any negative impact on your student account. Take action as soon as possible to avoid delays with registration, payments, or other services.
