Registration Holds

Each semester International students will have a registration hold with the Registrar's Office. According to USCIS, every student must update their personal information as it changes in person at the ISS office. Once all information has been updated in person, the registration hold will be cleared. In order for ISS to allow International students to register each semester, we must confirm their US address and phone number. Along with an ISS registration hold, International students will also have a Health Services registration hold. This hold may only be cleared through the Student Health Services.

On the registration form for International students, there will be a distinction of IS and HN. IS is the registration hold through ISS and HN is the Health Services registration hold. To clear each hold and be able to register, each student must be cleared electronically through the registration system.
