Checking Student Clearance

Clearance means checking if a student has any pending library obligations before they can get their enrollment clearance, graduate, or request records.

A student is cleared if they have:

• No unreturned books
• No unpaid fines
• No manual blocks placed by the librarian

A student is not cleared if any of the above conditions exist.

Note for the registrar or guidance office: The Student Information System (SIS) can automatically check clearance status. If a student just returned a book or paid a fine, the clearance status may take up to 5 minutes to update.
