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, fill out your FAFSA application (Code: 009635). If you are starting classes in Early Fall (Summer B) you must submit 2 FAFSA applications: 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.

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. Here are common documents that will result in a hold:

  • 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.

6. Sign up for Housing

If you plan to live on Modesto A. Maidique or Biscayne Bay campus, you need to apply for housing early to secure your spot and select a roommate. Space is limited. Live on campus to make new friends and fully immerse yourself in Panther pride.
