Registration Holds

June 26, 2024 | Certifications & Registration Support

Here are some examples of situations that will necessitate a hold to be placed on your registration for future classes. If you receive notification of a hold, please contact your Student Services team at studentservicesteam@ciat.edu for quick assistance.

Financial

If a student account obtains a balance later in the semester, a balance hold will be added to the account which will block students from participating in registration for future semesters. If you see that you have a balance on your account, please get in contact with your Financial Aid Advisor to resolve the issue.

Academic (SAP)

*For more information on SAP, please access our SAP policy.

At the completion of the second subsequent semester, if a student fails to meet the requirements for Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP), the student will be placed on Academic Probation. A student must attend an academic counseling session, a financial consultation, and submit a written appeal to continue with the program. A registration hold will be placed on the student record until these support measures have been completed. At this stage, the student is at risk of losing access to federal tuition funding, including government grants, loans, and/or military benefits, if their SAP status at the end of the next semester does not improve

At the completion of the third subsequent semester, if a student fails to meet the requirements for Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP), the student will be placed on a Financial Hold and will be unable to continue their program utilizing federal funding, including government grants, loans, or veteran benefits. A registration hold will be placed on the student record until a secondary funding source has been arranged. If a student successfully meets the requirements for Satisfactory Academic Progress at the end of the fourth subsequent semester, the financial hold will be lifted, and the student will be eligible to regain federal funding.
