Notify Your Students

To support student success, academic departments are responsible for notifying their students when an advising hold is placed and for providing a clear explanation of the steps the student must take to have it released.

If you wish to request an e-memo, student communications are distributed by Strategic Relations & Communications using ¶¶ÒõÂÃÐÐÉä Boulder Today and associated campus communication tools.ÌýVisit the Ìýto view the different tools (e.g., ¶¶ÒõÂÃÐÐÉä Boulder Today stories ²¹²Ô»åÌýadministrative e-memos) and submit your message for campus audiences.

Release Holds Promptly

Advising holds now include a timeline for release (e.g., "After you've met with your advisor, your hold will be removed within three business days"). Please remove the advising hold as soon as you can after the student has received advising to ensure compliance with this timeline.Ìý
