Second, verify that you have completed all portions of your training. If your UCID is correct, or you need assistance correcting it, email titleix@uchicago.edu to request assistance and for verification of completion.

What should I do if I am a current student and enrollment for next quarter has opened, but I have a hold on my account?

Ensure you have completed all components of your training based on your student status. Once holds are placed following the training deadline, they will be removed daily pending completion of your specific course. If you have completed all components outside of the last 24 hours, but still have a hold on your account, contact titleix@uchicago.edu.
