Other Holds

GP     Graduation Clearance Pending Hold: Registrar’s Office
Phone: 617-873-0101
Fax: 617-242-0026
registrar@cambridgecollege.edu

Reasons for hold: The Registrar places a GP hold on your record when you submit an Intent to Graduate form for the upcoming graduation, and it ensures that you will be among the students audited for graduation. This hold will be removed at the close of the Registrar’s graduation clearance for the current term. Hold is applied shortly before online registration for the following term opens, and it will prevent you from registering. If you do not intend to complete your degree program requirements this term, please update your anticipated graduation date with the Registrar’s Office, which can remove the hold so that you may register for the upcoming term.

IN     International Hold—120 Form: International Student Office
Phone: 617-873-0142

Reasons for hold: This hold will be removed and the student will be allowed to register for courses once the DSO has met face to face with the international student and has given the student the I-20 form.

WL     Withdrawal/Leave Hold: Registrar’s Office

Reasons for hold: The Registrar places a W/L hold on your account if you have withdrawn permanently or temporarily. To return within 5 years, please submit the Returning Student Reinstatement Form. If you are returning after 5 years or wish to switch schools, (changing from an MEd in Education to an MEd in Psychology and Counseling for example), you must reapply through Admissions.

If you attend a Regional Center outside Boston, Massachusetts, and need additional information, please contact the site director for assistance.
