The student has a hold.

• The student or advisor may view their Registration Status pages to determine if there are holds that prevent registration.

For detailed information on the holds, the student can click the link on the bottom of the Registration Status page to access the View Holds page or the Holds line on the Student Records menu or click on the Holds link in the Academic Profile block on their Student Tools and Courses tab.

Every student is assigned a default registration PIN for a specific term. The registration PIN allows a student to access registration on SSB during their designated registration time slot. The PIN assignment may also be maintained to enforce mandatory advising.

Students and advisors can view their Registration Status pages in FlashFAST to determine the student’s registration window. 

If the student is not permitted to register at the time, one of the following messages may display.

If no Registration PIN is assigned the student will receive the following message:

• Your registration window has not been assigned for <term>. Please contact us at 330-672-3131.

If the student has a Registration PIN assigned, but their registration window for the term has not opened yet, the student will receive the following message:

The last 4 characters can be alpha or numeric depending on whether or not your college wishes to use them. Example: College of Business = BUADV or Athletics = SPORT.
