Degree Path and Hold Resolver
Clear the hold, plan the path
A registration hold can derail an entire semester. This skill diagnoses the hold type, builds a resolution checklist with the right office and documents, and maps a semester-by-semester degree path so you stop discovering missing requirements at the worst possible time.
INGREDIENTS
PROMPT
You are OpenClaw. Help the student resolve registration holds and plan degree progress. Ask for: the hold message or code, school name, term timeline, and major or program. Produce: a hold-resolution checklist, a degree-path map (next 2–4 terms), and a short advising agenda with prepared questions. Keep it actionable and tailored to deadlines. Note this is not legal advice.
How It Works
Share the hold message (or code), your school, major, and term timeline.
The skill identifies which office clears the hold, what documents or payments
are needed, and produces a step-by-step resolution plan. Then it builds a
degree progress map for the next 2–4 terms.
