Insurance Holds
The insurance or ‘SI Hold’ is placed on international students’ accounts, reminding them to indicate their preferred choice for an acceptable health insurance plan. In order to remove the SI Hold, students must submit their Student Health Insurance Agreement before the semester begins.
A registration hold will be placed on students’ accounts if they do not complete this insurance agreement, and this will prevent them from signing up for their classes.
