<p>I just logged into my Penn portal and one of the urgent messages says that I am on registration hold. What does this mean?</p>
<p>You need to get in touch with your adviser to talk about what courses you want to take in the fall. Then he/she will take you off hold. It just means you can’t register for classes right now.</p>
<p>You don’t even have an advisor yet. Wait for another month or so then you’ll get more info.</p>
<p>I was wondering that, too, because I have the same “urgent message” about registration on hold. I also have an urgent message about updating my local (college) address, but we won’t get our room assisgments till June 1st. What’s that about?</p>
<p>Don’t worry, the address will update automatically.</p>
<p>You could also be on registration hold if you haven’t submitted your insurance info or paid your tuition. If you aren’t sure, then call the advising office and ask someone to check your account.</p>
