Hi All,
Please see the information below from the Registrar's Office regarding an
upcoming hold that will be placed as early as 10/23. Attached are
instructions for students on how to remove the hold.

Per our conversation, here is the detailed information on the winter hold
that will be placed on ALL current students for Winter 2026. The holds will
go on to the account October 23rd/24th.  Similar to last time, students
will need to go into R'Web, to the Hold Module to acknowledge the
information to clear the hold.  I attached information as a resource.  If
there are questions on the requirement itself, please reach out to Brendan
O'Brien, but if there are questions about the process/hold feel free to
reach out to me (Bracken).
