Admitted

1. Submit your Deposit

Required for freshmen, transfers and a limited number of graduate business programs. Contact your program for further instructions.

In order to accept your admission and reserve your space, you must submit a $200 non-refundable tuition deposit by the deadline. Your deposit is a pre-payment towards your tuition and reserves your space at FIU. Your deposit MUST be submitted before signing up for orientation.

Graduate Orientation

Graduate students should be in contact with their program coordinator for more details. Enrollment dates and orientations (if applicable) will be scheduled by your degree program’s offices. 

The University Graduate School hosts a separate university-wide graduate orientation for all newly admitted students. It is a highly recommended event (even for FIU alumni) as they will discuss policy and procedures that will impact your graduate education as well as provide information on graduate funding opportunities.

Graduate students will receive an email with instructions on how to sign up closer to the start of the term, or you may contact for further details:

3. Apply for Financial Aid

Once you’ve confirmed your admission, you can set up your account on the FIU Scholarship Search. Visit Scholarships to find out more. 

If you haven’t already, filled out your FAFSA (Code: 009635). If you are starting classes in Early Fall (Summer B) you must submit 2 FAFSAs: one for Early Fall (which is considered the prior academic year) and another for the upcoming academic year. Forms and other instructions can be found at OneStop.

Submit the FAFSA

4. Update Your Admissions File

Missing documents on your admissions file could result in a hold which will prevent you from enrolling in classes. Send any documents still pending on your file. On MyFIU, check the Task tile to see if you have any holds active on your account.

Here are some common holds:

• Transcripts: If you were still taking courses (in high school, dual enrollment or college) when you applied to FIU, submit your final transcript, tests scores and proof of graduation. Submit Transcripts.
• Residency documents: If you are seeking in-state tuition you must submit either your proof of residency or a tuition waiver. Learn how to establish residency.

5. Submit Your Immunizations Record

FIU requires all students (non-degree seeking included) comply with the immunization policy regulations from the Florida Board of Governors. Not submitting these forms can also result in a hold. Submit your record by mail, email, fax or by delivering it yourself to the Student Health Services at your orientation. For more information, visit Student Health Services.
