- Search for the student and click “View Profile”.
- In the upper right corner of the Student Profile, click on “Holds.” You will be able to see all of the student’s holds. Advising Holds that can be cleared will have a check box next to them. (If you don’t see a check box, you do not have permission to clear that hold. Please refer the student to the appropriate department.) Select the “Holds” you want to release and then click “Release”.
- You will be asked to enter a comment. Then press “OK”.
- You should see a “Success” message appear and the hold’s number decrease.
- Your “Comment” will be viewable in the “Notes” section of the student profile.
Entering an Override
You can enter overrides in EagleNet if you are listed as the instructor for the course. In general, Campus Restrictions and Level Restrictions will need additional permissions and should not be used without first consulting with Records & Registration.
