Holds may be viewed online by clicking on "View My Holds" under Personal Portfolio in BroncoDirect.

All negative service indicator or "holds" must be cleared prior to registration and prior to using any permission number.  If a permission number is used or entered into the registration system prior to any hold being cleared, it will "deactivate" the permission number.  Consequently, a new permission number would have to be obtained.

Class Permission Numbers are used by students to enroll in courses that are full, (class enrollment limit); require consent; or requisites  (co-requisites and pre-requisites), and student specific courses. Permission Numbers are obtained from the Class Instructor and/or the Department Office.  Permission Numbers can be entered by students when enrolling online through BroncoDirect. Class permission numbers issued to override seat capacity for closed classes are valid only during our ADD/DROP period and will expire after the last day to add classes. See Academic Calendar for dates and deadlines.
