  • Past due financial obligations to the University, such as unpaid tuition, fees, or fines.
  • Incomplete admissions requirements, such as missing transcripts, or test scores.
  • Disciplinary action

Current students can check their encumbrances on MyNIU under the heading “Holds” in their Student Center.
