There are three main reasons why you may see a hold from Interdisciplinary Studies.

  1. You have been admitted or readmitted to UCF and have not completed the major declaration progress. IDS Pending is not an academic program. Students are required to complete a hardcopy declaration with our office that lists their degree program and IDS Areas of Study/Minor.
  2. You are on academic probation (your UCF GPA is below a 2.00). If you are on academic probation, you will receive an email at your UCF email account informing you that you have a hold placed on your record and explaining what you must do to have the hold lifted. Please respond to us as soon as possible after receiving this email so that you may proceed with course registration and schedule changes and any other processes you need to complete. The reason for these holds is to mandate advising appointments in order for students to fix problems in their course of study and be aware of issues that may be detrimental to their success at UCF.
  3. IDS 3933 Hold. Cornerstone Experience in Interdisciplinary Studies, IDS 3933, is a required core course that must be completed in a student’s first semester declared in the Bachelor of Science or Bachelor of Arts in Interdisciplinary Studies and in the Bachelor of Arts in Interdisciplinary Studies – TransGRaSS track. Failure to enroll and successfully complete this course with a “C” or better in your first semester in the major will result in a hold.

If you have one of these holds on your myUCF registration, please schedule an appointment to meet with a professional advisor in IDS to resolve the hold.
