What's An Admissions Hold and Why Do I Have One?
Did you receive a message that you have an admission hold? Don’t worry—it’s just a temporary “stop sign” telling you that we need something from you, such as a missing document, before you can move forward.
If you’ve been admitted to AUS, your Admission Letter will tell you the required documents you need to submit to us to complete your admissions file. Please make sure you check all emails from AUS carefully and submit any requested items as soon as possible.
As part of the admissions process, each admitted applicant will have an online File Completion session. During this process, a member of our admissions team will check to make sure that you have submitted all of the required documents. It’s expected that you will submit all of your required documents as part of your application. However, in the rare case that any of your required items are missing, an admissions hold will be placed on your file until the missing items have been submitted.
To make the process smoother, we recommend that you check to see if you have any holds before course registration begins. You won’t be able to register for your courses until any admissions hold(s) have been cleared.
To see if you have any holds:
- Go to banner.aus.edu and log in to Web Enabled Interface for Students using your AUS email username and password.
- Once logged in, go to Current Applicants / View Holds. If you have any holds, you are required to proceed to the concerned department and deliver the requirement(s) so that the hold(s) can be cleared.
