Hold” form the ISSO when you view HOLDs in MyLeo. So I want to give you an
explanation about that hold.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 color=black face="Times New Roman"><span
style='font-size:12.0pt;color:black'>This HOLD is only affecting the <u>registration</u>
for classes each semester. Each new semester, when you try to register for
classes, all international students must provide proof of insurance for that
semester to the International Student Services office (ISSO). Once the ISSO
receives your proof of insurance for that semester, your HOLD will be waived for
that semester and you are free to register or drop/add for that semester until
the 12<sup>th</sup> class day. This HOLD will come back after the 12<sup>th</sup>
class day each semester to block the registration for the following semester until
new proof of insurance for the new semester is again provided to the ISSO. This
is the continuing system that the University develops to ensure that all
international students comply with the insurance requirement before they are
allowed to register for classes every semester.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

style='font-weight:bold'>all</span></b> international students have provided
proof of insurance to the ISSO and have registered for classes and are taking
those classes so the HOLD is no longer affecting you for fall 06. The Hold becomes
effective again from Sep-13-2006 to Jan-01-2099 for the following semester
which is spring 07. When students provide new proof of insurance for spring 07 to
the ISSO, the HOLD for spring 07 will be waived again and students are free to
register for spring 07 until the 12<sup>th</sup> class day. The same thing
happens again in the following semesters after spring 07 until students graduate
from the university.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
