When students do not comply with the requirements necessary for their enrollment at Relay, student services teams may place student accounts on a hold. Holds can be placed on students’ abilities to register for classes, receive diplomas, return to Relay, and/or transfer programs. Failure to resolve a hold by a given due date may result in administrative withdrawal. A description of each hold can be found in Table 10.
Tuition balances cannot be carried over from one academic year to the next. An academic year runs summer, fall, and spring terms. If a student has a tuition balance from the summer, fall, or spring term, they cannot register for the upcoming summer term of the new academic year. All balances must be paid in full.
