Holds
Types and details
Holds on your MySJSU account prevent you from registering for the next term, unless you have a hold removed by the department that placed it.
Always click the blue "Details" link in the "holds" section of your account and read the instructions to remove your hold.
"ESSC, please remove my hold."
Below are common holds placed by the College of Engineering and the ESSC. Removing the hold depends on the requirements set forth by the department. This means, not all holds can be removed by the ESSC.
