I am an applicant to FIU

Admissions Clearance Committee Information

Why do I have a hold?

There is additional information that you need to submit due your application.

Florida Board of Governors Regulation 6.001, General Admissions, authorizes universities to refuse admission to applicants due to past misconduct.

If you indicated a positive response to the questions on your admission application regarding misconduct and/or criminal offenses you will see a "Judicial Hold” placed on your account. This prevents further progress with their application until the Admissions Clearance Process is completed and a recommendation is made to the Office of Admissions from the Admissions Clearance Committee.

For more information about the Admissions Clearance Process, please refer to the above listed hyperlink.
