My parents live out of state, and I have a Virginia address. The reason for the hold varies by the type of hold. If the hold is placed by the Office of Student Accounts, then you have an unpaid balance due to the University. My parents cannot or refuse to pay any of my school expenses, I pay for everything.

Law School, Kellogg, and Medill graduate students currently receive automatic refunds and need only notify Student Accounts if they do not wish to receive a refund; all other students must request a refund each term. No, the hold is to prevent you from incurring further debt until you have cleared your current debt to the University.
