We have to manually review your New Student Orientation completion and lift your hold. Typically, your hold will be lifted within one business day of completion. If you have questions, please call our office at 763-424-0703.

Your Registration Session hold will be lifted at the time of your Registration Session appointment.

At the Registration Session, an Academic Advisor will assist in picking out classes for your first term. This will set you on the right path to reach your academic goals. It will ensure that you do not take any classes you do not need, which will save you time and money in the long run.

There are no steps you need to take. The Orientation Office will review your account and send you information on your next steps.
