Financial Holds

A number of situations and requirements may result in a hold placed on your student account and records.

Many departments on campus can place holds on a student’s account.

Below is a list of holds that Student Accounting may use to indicate issues with your account. To find out if you have any holds on your account please visit MyUCDavis.
