Registration Holds

Retaking Courses—The Graduate School discourages the retaking of courses to improve grades. If a course is retaken, appropriate tuition and fees will be assessed. All registrations and grades for the course remain on the student's transcript and are calculated into the cumulative GPA.

Holds will be placed on your account for the reasons listed below. In order to have any of these holds removed, please see Linda Jagerson, 4-178K or contact her via email at jager001@umn.edu or by phone at 612.625-3564.
