Review Your Holds

If your department currently uses advising holds, you should have received an email from the CU-SIS Development team last week to confirmÌýthe population and text of your hold. Reply with any necessary changes, additions or deletions by Thusrday, Feb. 1.

If your department's advising holds are assigned using an SID list, submit your listÌýbyÌýnoon on Tuesday, Feb. 6. Lists submitted after that date will be processed in the order in which they're received, allowing at least two business days for processing.

Notify Your Students

To support student success, academic departments are responsible for notifying their students when an advising hold is placed and for providing a clear explanation of the steps the student must take to have it released.

If you wish to request an e-memo, student communications are distributed by Strategic Relations & Communications using Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØBoulder Today and associated campus communication tools.ÌýVisit the Ìýto view the different tools (e.g., Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØBoulder Today stories ²¹²Ô»åÌýadministrative e-memos) and submit your message for campus audiences.

Release Holds Promptly

Advising holds now include a timeline for release (e.g., "After you've met with your advisor, your hold will be removed within three business days"). Please remove the advising hold as soon as you can after the student has received advising to ensure compliance with this timeline.Ìý
