Alternative Enrollment Programs

Concurrent Enrollment
If you must enroll for classes at Miami-Dade Community College or Broward Community College while enrolled less than full-time at FIU and wish to have those credits counted as part of your total enrollment for financial aid purposes, you must complete and submit a " Concurrent Enrollment Agreement", by the last day of the official add/drop period. Only coursework acceptable as transfer credit towards the completion of a Bachelor's degree at FIU and approved by an academic advisor will be considered. The only awards eligible for an adjustment as a result of Concurrent Enrollment are the Pell Grant, Florida Assistance Grant, Bright Futures Scholarships and the Federal Stafford Loan. All other aid is based solely on your enrollment status at FIU.

Study Abroad
If you plan to enroll in a Study Abroad Program, you must provide a letter to the Financial Aid Office from the academic unit offering the program, verifying your participation as well as a breakdown of cost. This information must be submitted one semester in advance of the semester the Study Abroad Program begins.

Transient Enrollment
Ifyou are enrolling at an institution other than FIU (your "home" institution) and you wish to receive financial aid, you must provide the following documentation to the Financial Aid Office:

Transient Student Form (available at the Office of the Registrar), and a Consortium Agreement if you are attending another State University in Florida, OR
Consortium Agreement only, if you are attending any other institution.

All documentation must be submitted a full semester in advance of the semester of transient enrollment. Financial Aid will be provided by FIU only. Consult with a Financial Aid Administrator to determine award eligibility.

National Student Exchange (NSE)
If you are participating in this program, receipt of financial aid will depend on the "Plan" selected by you in consultation with the NSE Program Coordinator in the Honors College. If you select the plan where FIU will be the granting institution, the Honors College will provide a list of participants to the Financial Aid Office.
