by Betsy Chapman

The Registrar’s Office sent out the following information today to continuing undergraduates who are eligible to registrar for Fall 2013 classes.  Please be sure your student has checked DEAC for any financial holds and resolves those promptly, lest he/she would be blocked from registration.  Parents/family members who have been granted third-party access by their students can also check DEAC for holds.
