How to Clear a Financial Hold

Only certain Library staff can remove a financial hold from a patron’s record. They must be on the list of financial hold signers that is sent from the Library to the student bank (Student Business Services).

For financial holds prior to January 2007:

To clear a financial hold, the supervisor must fill out the clearance form and sign it. The student takes it over to the bank. We do not write the Social Security Number on the form. Let the student write it him/herself at the bank. The form looks like this:

Check box number one. Put a note in the patron’s record saying that you cleared the financial hold. Include the date and your initials.

For financial holds placed after January 2007:

Financial holds placed after January 2007 can be cleared by Jared or Diana if Eric is not in. If they are not available, leave them a note with the patron’s name, ID number, etc.
