Tuition Plans

  • HOST pay (plan A)

    Host pay students pay FIU in-state tuition/fees. This is a manual tuition waiver process coordinated by the FIU-NSE office. To waive your out-of-state portion of the tuition, please have your schedule finalized by August 4, 2024 for Fall semester and December 1, 2024 for Spring semester. 

    If you make any changes to the number of credits after these dates, please contact the FIU-NSE Office to get the tuition adjusted accordingly. All tuition payments are due by the university’s payment deadline. Please refer to the academic calendar for specific dates/deadlines. For a $15-per-term fee, FIU now offers a payment plan which will allow you to pay off your tuition balance in multiple installments.  

    NOTE: All Federal Financial Aid (FAFSA) is awarded and disbursed by the HOME Institution - NOT FIU. 

    A payment plan can be arranged via your MyFIU account prior to the semester start date. If you are applying for financial aid, it will go through FIU. If you have not submitted the free application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) do so immediately. 

    You will need to list FIU as one of your institutions. FIU’s federal school code is: 009635. If FIU is not listed on your FAFSA, FIU will not receive your Student Aid Report (SAR). For assistance please contact the FIU-NSE Financial Aid liaison.

    It is recommended that you contact her by email. Please note that you must have an active FIU-NSE Panther ID in order to receive a Financial Aid package from FIU. 

  • HOME pay (plan B):

    Students on Home pay tuition and fees (except the $10 FIU ID fee) to their home school. This is a manual process at FIU coordinated by the FIU-NSE office. To waive all FIU tuition and fees, please have your schedule finalized by August 4, 2024 for Fall semester and December 1, 2024 for Spring semester. If you make any changes to the number of credits after this date, please contact the FIU-NSE office, to get the tuition adjusted accordingly. 

    Students on Home pay must show proof that they have paid the necessary tuition/fees to their home institution (paid schedule or receipt). If your fees are paid through financial aid, you must submit your award letter. This must be done one week before the FIU deadline to pay for courses. 

    NOTE: All Federal Financial Aid (FAFSA) is awarded and disbursed by the HOME Institution – NOT FIU. 

    Students on Plan B apply for financial aid (if applicable) at their home institution. You may not apply for financial aid through FIU if you are on Plan B. A $10 ID fee is charged to all students at FIU, including Home pay NSE students. 

    When you arrive on campus, please visit the FIU Student Financials to make this payment. Failure to do so will place a financial hold on your account.

Housing

On-campus housing is limited and NOT guaranteed! The 2024/2025 Housing Agreement is found online via your MyFIU account. It is your responsibility to review your housing needs and financial resources before signing this agreement. Please be sure to review the Terms and Conditions of the Housing Agreement. 

Priority Housing Assignment deadlines for NSE students are as follows: 

  • Fall 2024 only: June 1 
  •  Full Year exchange: (Fall & Spring): June 1 
  • Spring 2025 only: October

Pay close attention to the housing agreement and cancellation policies. 

  • Housing Agreement

    Please note that the housing agreement is for both Fall and Spring semesters (one year). If you apply for on-campus housing but change your mind, you must cancel the agreement by the indicated deadlines of the cancellation policy (July 1) or you will be assessed all fees for the entire term. This also applies if you are only attending for Fall, and you need to cancel the Spring part of the contract (since all contracts are for one year).

  • Deadlines

    Please pay attention to deadlines! FIU offers on-campus housing at the Modesto A. Maidique Campus. Please note, if your major is Hospitality and Tourism Management or Marine Biology, most of your courses will probably be offered at the Biscayne Bay campus. The Biscayne Bay Campus offers the Bayview Student Living-Apartment Complex, which is considered as OFF Campus Housing and independent from FIU Housing. The Bayview contracts are annual long (Fall + Spring), unless prior arrangements are made with Bayview Apartments. Refer to the academic calendar for housing check-in dates. Early housing check-in is available to NSE students.

  • Fall 2024 Housing Move-In Instructions

    To promote social distancing, Housing has implemented new policies to ensure students have a smooth moving-in experience. These policies require the student to sign up for a one-hour time slot on their MyFIU account. The move-in period is August 22-24, 2024.Once housing assignments have been processed in June, students will pick their move-in date & time via their MyFIU account.Students will sign up for a one-hour move-in time slot at my.fiu.edu -> Student Tools -> Student Housing -> MMC Housing -> Move-in Time Selection.
