General Information

Holds

You may have a Service Indicator (also called a “Hold”) placed on your account because of financial or similar university obligations. You will not be allowed to register until a clearance is obtained from the department issuing the service indicator. All service indicators shown on your myCSUB account must be cleared prior to registration.

Here is a list of common Service Indicators and the departments that can clear them:

Shopping Cart Appointment: Validate Feature

To help you plan, please review two important points of information below about enrolling for the upcoming Semester in myCSUB.

A new feature has been added to myCSUB, Shopping Cart Appointment-Validate, which will allow you to see if your registration and enrollment in planned courses will be successful. You are encouraged to plan your schedule of courses ahead of time and allow the system to validate your selected courses using this feature.

Once you have added the classes you want to take for the upcoming term to your Shopping Cart, you then can have the system “validate” some or all of those classes. The validation process is a system check for possible time conflicts, pre-requisite requirements or holds. Just click the “Select” box for each class that you want to validate, and then click on the "Validate" button below the Shopping Cart list of classes.

Keep in mind the following key points in using this feature:

The validation operation does not enroll you in any classes; you will still need to complete the registration process
The validation operation does not check for course seat availability or reserve seats in a class even though there are no impediments to the class you are validating

If there are errors (denoted by “X”), you can take some corrective action—if you do not meet a pre-requisite, maybe select a different course; if you have a time conflict, maybe select different sections; if you have a hold, go to the appropriate office to see about getting the hold released. Please contact your academic advisor if you have any additional questions or concerns.
