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.

• Academic Probation

  • You received this hold to make you aware of your academic standing at SJSU.  You will need to fulfill requirements to remove your hold and get off probation.

    Please visit the Probation page for more information.

• ESSC

  • You will receive an e-mail with instructions for making an appointment. 

    You are taking an ENGR 10 course so you are required to see a Guided Pathways Advisor. Please contact Ahmed Banafa (ahmed.banafa@sjsu.edu), Jack Warecki (jack.warecki@sjsu.edu), or Dr. Smita Duorah (smita.duorah@sjsu.edu) if you have additional questions.

    Additional information can be found on our Guided Pathways page.
