Academic Holds on Registration

A registration hold may be placed on an international student’s LionPATH account if a student does not comply with ISSA’s request to follow regulations and policies. The following situations may result in a registration hold: 

• When a student does not complete Mandatory Immigration Check-in with ISSA 
• When a student does not update their local address, home address, telephone number, and/or email address in Account Management since this information is reported in SEVIS 
• When a student does not request a new immigration document for a change of Penn State campus 

The registration hold will be removed after the student complies with submitting the requested information and contacts ISSA. Please keep in mind that it may take 1-2 business days to remove the hold.
