In the context of higher education institutional practice, a "hold" is defined as a means an institution may employ to prevent a student from completing an action, such as registering for a class or accessing an official transcript. Holds are most often used as an attempt to motivate a student to take an action sought by the institution. As part of AACRAO's ongoing signature initiative Re-envisioning Transfer, the American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers (AACRAO) completed companion research projects about administrative holds used to prevent a student from registering for a class or accessing an official transcript. The first was an exploratory study of student-level hold data from 14 institutions. The second, on which this report is based, was a national survey of administrative hold policy and practice. This report will summarize data from the national sample and provide recommendations for policy and practice. The companion report contains additional background information and the results of the exploratory study. [For the companion report, "Stop! Do Not Pass Go!
