Enrollment
Students in the PMBAO Program will be registered for courses by the departmental staff prior to the beginning of each term after successful completion of steps one through five, listed above. This is a lockstep/cohort program, which means that your courses will be offered on a fixed schedule, and you will be taking these courses with the same group of students throughout the entire program. Your program manager will register you for classes and will send you an email when it is time to submit your tuition payment, due at the start of each new term.
Enrollment for EURM courses will take place through Real Madrid Graduate School — Universidad Europea (EURM UE).
EURM will need additional documents for registration purposes, please send any requested EURM documents to: international.florida@universidadeuropea.es
How to Pay for Classes

Domestic Students: Prior to the payment deadline you will need to accept your Financial Aid award at MyFIU. Follow the “Financial Aid — accept/decline awards” link to ensure that your award is posted as “pending financial aid” for a tuition deferment by clicking on the most current academic year.
Other Payment Options
Online Payments: Tuition may be paid online with a credit card or electronic check/electronic transfer of funds through the “Make a Payment” link found under the “Finances” section of your MyFIU student portal.

Wire transfer payments: FIU has partnered with Flywire to offer a streamlined and cost effective payment method to send international payments. Therefore, we ask you to send all bank transfer payments through Flywire at least two weeks before the payment deadline.
It is important to note that the PMBAO program does not qualify for the university payment plan option due to the accelerated nature of the program. You will want to reach out to your Student Experience Program Manager for more information at pmbaohelp@fiu.edu.
