An Unpaid Balance (UB) Hold is placed on your myGateway account when you owe more than $100 in fees. The hold prevents you from adding or dropping classes and restricts registration for future terms until the balance is resolved.

If you owe less than $100, no hold is placed and you may continue to add and drop classes as usual.

No. A UB Hold will not drop you from your current classes. However, you will be unable to add or drop classes, and you will be restricted from registering for upcoming terms (such as summer or fall) until your balance is paid.

You will receive an email notification if you owe a balance. You can also check at any time by following the steps above — select Account Summary by Term from the Student Services page.

After your balance is paid in full (or reduced below $100), it may take up to 24 hours for the hold to be removed from your account.

If you have a UB Hold and need to drop a class right away, please contact Admissions & Records for assistance.

Yes, you may make incremental payments in myGateway. However, partial payments will not remove your hold until your remaining balance falls below $100.

For assistance, contact the Bursar's Office or Admissions & Records.

If you believe a hold was applied in error because your fees should be covered, contact Admissions & Records before paying.
