All incoming F-1 and J-1 international students must attend international orientation. One component of international orientation is the mandatory immigration session. If a student fails to attend this session, a hold will be placed on next semester registration until the student completes the requirement, indicating that the student “needs ISSS permission.” This information is communicated to the student in orientation materials. Please note this is a future hold. There should be no barrier on new students’ ability to register because of the ISSS.
