Freshman Live-In Rule: All single undergraduate freshmen under 20 years of age are required to live in organized living groups that are officially recognized by the University (residence halls, fraternities, sororities, and co-op houses) for one academic year. Running Start students are considered freshmen with college credits, not regularly enrolled students, and are subject to the live-in requirements.If you are unable to register due to a housing hold, you must either apply for housing in the residence halls, housing in the Greek chapters approved to house freshmen, or for a freshmen waiver.
Go here to apply for housing.

International Programs hold: The IN hold is meant to prevent international students from dropping below the required number of credits needed to maintain their legal immigration status. Recently academic advisors have been telling students that the IN hold will prevent them from registering for their classes so they send students to OISS to remove the hold. However, the hold applies to the current term, not registration for a future semester.

The IN becomes effective the 10th day of class in regular Fall/Spring semesters, or on the first day of class for summer session. So students with IN hold markers on their schedules can register for their classes until the days noted above or for a future semester without the hold interfering with their registration. There is no need to refer students to OISS before the designated days each academic term or when students are registering for a future semester. If you have any questions, please contact OISS at 335-4508.
