Registration holds and resolution

A registration hold will prevent you from registering for a course. If you have a registration hold, you may receive the following message (or similar):

You are not permitted to register in this semester. For further information, please contact the Registrar's Office.

Below are some of the most common registration holds that may prohibit you from being able to register for courses. In most cases there may be a course of action for you to take to resolve the issue.


Financial hold

Reason for hold

Overdue money owing on your student account

How to resolve the hold

Review your Financial Information within Memorial Self-Service. If you have money owing, you can make payment through a method outlined by the Cashier’s Office.

If you have financial questions about your account, contact the Cashier’s Office.


Academic Integrity module incomplete

Reason for hold

Academic Integrity (INTG 1000) module not successfully completed in Brightspace

How to resolve the hold

All undergraduate students new to Memorial must complete INTG 1000 before they can register for their second semester. The course material is available in Brightspace and takes approximately 90 minutes to complete. The course is in two parts - Part A and Part B. Part B does not appear in Brightspace until after you have passed the Part A quiz.

If you successfully completed the module previously with a grade higher than 12/15, contact the Registrar’s Office to let us know the date and time you passed INTG 1000. You can check the timestamp of the quiz to confirm when you passed it.

If you are beyond your first semester, INTG 1000 will appear on your transcript/academic record as a completed course and you will be enrolled in the Integrity Archive site. If you see the INTG Archive site attached to your account in Brightspace, you have successfully completed the INTG requirement.
