Department of Chemistry

First-Year AA Holds

In order to be properly advised for Summer & Fall 2009 schedules, as well as removing your AA hold, you should attempt to schedule your appointment here: Appointment eScheduler.

We must meet with you in person to release your AA hold.  Please note we can only advise for our department's majors.  If you are changing your major, please see that department's advisor for assistance with your schedule and AA hold.

Below we have listed some common registration holds, what they mean, and how to resolve them:

AA = Academic Advising.  This hold is placed on First Time in College Students only, who must see their academic advisor each semester of their first year in order to register for the following semester.  This is to ensure that first-year students remain on track with their major requirements. Students declared as a Chemistry Department major may schedule an appointment, utilize walk-in advising, or attend the AA hold workshop in order to have their hold released.

Information on Advising Appointments & Walk-in Advising can be found here:  Walk-in hours schedule.

AP = Academic Probation.  Students with a USF GPA below 2.0 are placed on Academic Probation and are required to meet with their major advisor each semester to discuss their schedule prior to registering.  Once the advisor completes the AP Hold Form, which is signed by the advisor & student, it should be submitted to the College of Arts and Sciences Main office in BEH 201, in order to release the hold.  Keep in mind, every semester you are on probation, this hold will be on your account to ensure that you meet with us, so we can help you become academically successful!

AR = Admissions Hold for “Missing academic credentials.”   This refers to a transcript from a previous college or university that USF has not received.  OASIS should tell you from which institution a transcript is missing.  For more information, or if you believe this hold is in error, contact the Office of Undergraduate Admissions in SVC 1036.

CC = Cash Collections.  Money is owed to USF (anything from parking & library fines to tuition).  If you do not pay your balance by a set date, you will be dropped from your classes.

IM/MH = Immunization.  You have not yet turned in your immunization forms to Student Health Services.  If you do not turn in these forms, you will be dropped from your classes.

MJ = Major Declaration Hold.  You have not declared your major yet.  To remove the hold and declare your major, go to http://www.cas.usf.edu/declare, and complete the online form; before you submit the form, you must check the box that indicates you have a registration hold, so that the College will know to remove it.  Print a copy of your major declaration confirmation page, and keep it for your records.

OB = remedial math required.

TC, TL, or TS = CLAST Requirement.  This will prevent you from registering until you have made arrangements with Testing and Evaluation.  For information on having your CLAST hold removed:  https://web1.cas.usf.edu/gus/clast.  Any questions regarding CLAST holds can be directed to Kim Williams (williams@cas.usf.edu), who is the CLAST Coordinator for the College of Arts & Sciences.
