Do you have a checkstop? A checkstop on your account will prevent registration for the Spring 2009 semester!
A checkstop is used by a UB office to “freeze” a student’s records and prevent future enrollment activity until the student has met the requirements for its removal. Financial checkstops particularly serve the additional purpose of prohibiting other University services such as the receipt of a diploma, certification services, or transcript release until the student has satisfied the financial obligation. ***If you have a checkstop on your account, be sure that you resolve its removal immediately!
Attention New Students: Do you have a #2 checkstop on your account? If you have logged into MyUB and noticed that you have a #2 checkstop, be reminded that SUNY has mandated all UB students to acknowledge receipt of and affirm the University’s standards for behavior. If you have failed to do so, the #2 checkstop prevents you from being able to register for Spring 2009 courses. Be sure that you go on-line now and affirm UB’s Rules and Regulations! You need only your UBit name and password and the #2 checkstop will be removed immediately. Affirm today!
Have questions about checkstops? Consult the Student Response Center’s List of Checkstops/Holds to find the appropriate contact office for their resolution.

- For each major that interests you, choose either the PDF or HTML version to find an outline of common career areas, typical employers, and strategies designed to maximize your career opportunities.
- Keep in mind that the information sheets and Web sites are representative of typical career paths associated with each major and not a comprehensive list.
