I just found this: [COLONIAL CENTRAL](http://colonialcentral.gwu.edu/holdsnotif/)

"Before you register for classes, it is important to see if you have any holds. Holds may be placed on your registration for various reasons including academic requirements, incomplete immunization records, outstanding student account balances, and more. Since holds can prevent students from registering, adding and dropping courses, receiving transcripts, or graduating, it’s important that students are aware of their current holds.

To check whether you will be eligible to register, you may conveniently view registration hold alerts and receive other important University business notifications related to housing selection, financial aid awards, student accounts and other personalized information through the MyGW Portal. This on-line feature offers you easier registration as well as a way to conduct other personalized University business.

To view your holds:


Sign into the MyGW Portal.

View up-to-date information in the “My Action Items” section.

To view personalized hold information, simply click on the action item relating to registration holds.


Note: “My Action Items” will only appear if you have logged-in and have University business to resolve, like holds.

Once the hold is resolved, you must log back into MyGW and “My Action Items” will confirm the current status of your account. Registration hold information is updated several times each hour. Visit the “My Action Items” section of the MyGW Portal at [MyGW - The George Washington University Web Portal](http://my.gwu.edu) to see your hold status today!

We recommend that you login to the MyGW Portal to determine if you need to resolve any issues before your registration date."

i’m not sseeing “My Action Items” on that website, so i’m supposed to assume that there are no holds…

… and yet, there is a general freshman hold on the account… not leading me to have confidence in the site giving the directions listed above.
